Title: Routing densities and representation contraction for Thorp sweeps.

Abstract: For $N=2{}d$ cards, we prove that an absolute number of coordinate sweeps of the Thorp shuffle brings the full permutation law to total-variation distance tending to zero from uniform. The mixing time therefore has optimal order ${}Theta({}log N)$ in physical shuffles.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
