Abstract

We prove, under mild conditions on fixed points and 2-cycles, the asymptotic normality of vincular pattern counts for a permutation chosen uniformly at random in a conjugacy class. Additionally, we prove that the limiting variance is always non-degenerate for classical pattern counts. The proof uses weighted dependency graphs.
