A pattern theorem for random sorting networks

A sorting network is a shortest path from 12⋯n to n⋯21 in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group S[subscript n] generated by nearest-neighbor swaps. A pattern is a sequence of swaps that forms an initial segment of some sorting network. We prove that in a uniformly random n-element sorting network,...
