title = "Permuting Operations on Strings and the Distribution of Their Prime Numbers",
abstract = "Several ways of interleaving, as studied in theoretical computer science, and some subjects from mathematics can be modeled by length-preserving operations on strings, that only permute the symbol positions in strings. Each such operation $X$ gives rise to a family $\{X_n\}_{n\geq2}$ of similar permutations. We call an integer $n$ $X$-{\em prime} if $X_n$ consists of a single cycle of length $n$ ($n\geq2$). For some instances of $X$ ---such as shuffle, twist, operations based on the Archimedes' spiral and on the Josephus problem--- we investigate the distribution of $X$-primes and of the associated (ordinary) prime numbers, which leads to variations of some well-known conjectures in number theory.",
