  • We construct a statistic-swapping involution on the Cartesian product of the generalized symmetric group $S(k,n)$ with the symmetric group $S_{kn}$, which swaps the number of fixed points in the generalized symmetric group element with the number of $k$-cycles in the symmetric group element. This gives a combinatorial proof for a probabilistic observation: the distribution of fixed points on $S(k,n)$ matches the distribution of $k$-cycles on $S_{kn}$.
