Precise statement

An asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, the limiting probability that a random permutation has an invariant set of size $k$: it is asymptotically $k^{-\delta}(1+o(1))$ times a smooth positive function, sharpening a line of estimates running through Łuczak-Pyber and Eberhard-Ford-Green.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

What AI did

GPT o4-mini, ChatGPT Pro 5.4

The authors "originally discovered that g was almost constant via the use of GPT o4-mini. Upon being asked to prove this fact, the model suggested the broad strategy" (initially miscomputing an integral, then completing the evaluation after being pointed at Mellin transforms). A separate argument in the paper is ChatGPT Pro 5.4's, shortened and checked by the authors, kept because it was cleaner than their own.
