Abstract: We study two random models: i) the number of cycles K(n) in a random Ewens(theta) permutation of n elements, and b) the number S(n) of segregating sites of a sample of size n governed by Kingman's coalescent with mutation rate theta/2.
A coupling is provided for these two models that allows us to deduce our main result: the vector (K(n), S(n)), properly rescaled, converges to a two-dimensional Brownian sheet on the unit square.
