Abstract
Top to random shuffles and number of fixed points

Number of fixed points is studied for random permutations and for some different shuffles such as riffle shuffles. We look at the same problem for top to random shuffles. We provide the formulas for the expected value and the variance of the number of fixed points of a permutation obtained after a number of top to random shuffles.
