Title
The distribution of the root degree of a random permutation
Abstract
Given a permutation ω of {1, …, n}, let R(ω) be the root degree of ω, i.e. the smallest (prime) integer r such that there is a permutation σ with ω = σ r . We show that, for ω chosen uniformly at random, R(ω) = (lnlnn − 3lnlnln n + O p (1))−1 lnn, and find the limiting distribution of the remainder term.
