The Characteristic Polynomial of a Random Permutation Matrix

Hambly, B.M.; Keevash, P.; O'Connell, Neil,; Stark, Dudley

HPL-BRIMS-2000-01

Keyword(s): random matrix theory; characteristic polynomial permutations; central limit theorem

Abstract: We establish a central limit theorem for the logarithm of the characteristic polynomial of a random permutation matrix. With this result we can obtain a central limit theorem for the counting function for the eigenvalues lying in some interval on the unit circle.
