Abstract

We study random spatial permutations on ℤ3 where each jump x↦π(x) is penalized by a factor e−T∥x−π(x)∥2 . The system is known to exhibit a phase transition for low enough T where macroscopic cycles appear. We observe that the lengths of such cycles are distributed according to Poisson-Dirichlet. This can be explained heuristically using a stochastic coagulation-fragmentation process for long cycles, which is supported by numerical data.
