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."}],"oa":1,"date_created":"2022-04-17T22:01:48Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0024-6093"],"eissn":["1469-2120"]},"intvolume":"        54","publisher":"Wiley","author":[{"full_name":"Kwan, Matthew Alan","orcid":"0000-0002-4003-7567","last_name":"Kwan","first_name":"Matthew Alan","id":"5fca0887-a1db-11eb-95d1-ca9d5e0453b3"},{"last_name":"Sah","full_name":"Sah, Ashwin","first_name":"Ashwin"},{"first_name":"Mehtaab","full_name":"Sawhney, Mehtaab","last_name":"Sawhney"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000779920900001"],"arxiv":["2106.11932"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","department":[{"_id":"MaKw"}],"title":"Large deviations in random latin squares","article_type":"original","doi":"10.1112/blms.12638","date_updated":"2023-08-03T06:47:29Z","publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","_id":"11186","page":"1420-1438","month":"08","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","quality_controlled":"1","day":"01","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png","short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)"},"file_date_updated":"2023-02-03T09:43:38Z","file":[{"creator":"dernst","file_name":"2022_BulletinMathSociety_Kwan.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":233758,"access_level":"open_access","success":1,"date_updated":"2023-02-03T09:43:38Z","file_id":"12499","relation":"main_file","checksum":"02d74e7ae955ba3c808e2a8aebe6ef98","date_created":"2023-02-03T09:43:38Z"}],"isi":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}
