Random coordinate frames and partial permutation laws
OpenAI
Abstract
For the Thorp shuffle on cards, we prove that the worst-start total-variation distance after physical shuffles tends to zero as . Combining our fixed-list estimate with the companion Fourier transfer improves this bound to shuffles. These results follow from bounds on partially observed permutation laws in random coordinate frames.
