Abstract

We consider a random walk on the hyperoctahedral group Bn generated by the signed permutations of the forms (i, n) and (-i, n) for 1�i�n. We call this the flip-transpose top with random shuffle on Bn. We find the spectrum of the transition probability matrix for this shuffle. We prove that the mixing time for this shuffle is of order n log n. We also show that this shuffle exhibits the cutoff phenomenon. In the appendix, we show that a similar random walk on the demihyperoctahedral group Dn also has a cutoff at (Formula presented). © 2021. All Rights Reserved
