| contents | In this article, we study a model of random permutations, which we call random standardized permutations, based on a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. This model generalizes others, such as the riffle-shuffle and the major-index-biased permutations. We first establish an exact result on the joint distribution of the number of cycles of given lengths, involving the notion of primitive words. From this result, we obtain various convergence results, most of which are proved using the method of moments. First we prove that the number of small cycles may have either a Poisson limit distribution, or a limit distribution given by a countable sum of independent geometric distributions. Then we establish a limit distribution for large cycles, which is the Poisson-Dirichlet process. Finally we prove a central limit theorem for the total number of cycles. |
