In particular, for constant  𝛿>0  we prove that  exp(−𝑂(𝑛2log𝑛))⩽Pr(𝐍⩽(1−𝛿)𝑛2/4)⩽exp(−Ω(𝑛2))  and  exp(−𝑂(𝑛4/3(log𝑛)))⩽Pr(𝐍⩾(1+𝛿)𝑛2/4)⩽exp(−Ω(𝑛4/3(log𝑛)2/3)) . As a consequence, we deduce that a typical order- 𝑛  Latin square has  (1+𝑜(1))𝑛2/4  intercalates, matching a lower bound due to Kwan and Sudakov and resolving an old conjecture of McKay and Wanless."}],"department":[{"_id":"MaKw"}],"date_created":"2022-04-17T22:01:48Z","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Wiley","status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Large deviations in random latin squares","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-4003-7567","first_name":"Matthew Alan","last_name":"Kwan","full_name":"Kwan, Matthew Alan","id":"5fca0887-a1db-11eb-95d1-ca9d5e0453b3"},{"first_name":"Ashwin","last_name":"Sah","full_name":"Sah, Ashwin"},{"full_name":"Sawhney, Mehtaab","first_name":"Mehtaab","last_name":"Sawhney"}],"publication":"Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society","has_accepted_license":"1","page":"1420-1438","doi":"10.1112/blms.12638","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1469-2120"],"issn":["0024-6093"]},"external_id":{"isi":["000779920900001"],"arxiv":["2106.11932"]},"article_type":"original","citation":{"short":"M.A. Kwan, A.
