                          Random Walks on Finite Groups: an Application of Group Representations

                          Playing cards, a set of fifty-two cards with four suits and thirteen numbers, appear every- where in ourdaily lives. In particular, theyare commonly used ongambling tables in casinos. Before every game, the dealer needs to shuffle those cards to put them into a random order so that the game is fair. (Is it really the case in casinos?) One may wonder whether a shuffling technique is really efficient or not, i.e. whether it can turn the deck into a random configu- ration in a small number of rounds. Mathematically, this can be interpreted as a problem of random walks on the symmetric group of 52 elements S_{52} and we aim to determine how fast the random walk becomes (uniformly) random. This paper aims to explain an important application of group representations to this type of problems; in particular, techniques from group representations can provide a (roughly) accurate approximation. There will be six chapters in this paper. Chapter 1 is an introduction to problems of random walks. Chapter 2 and 3 discuss group representations in general, and a key lemma for application is discussed at the end of Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is an application to the easiest random walk one can encounter. Chapter 5 focuses on discussing properties distinctive to symmetric groups, and Chapter 6 discusses a card-shuffling example in details. Contents in Chapter 5 are mostly from the second chapter of [Sag01]; the key result in Chapter 6 along with the rest of the paper are mostly from [Dia88] with a few exceptions. This paper is written in a self-explanatory way, so anyone with necessary background of linear algebra, group theory, and probability will be able to follow the entirety of it.
