Enumerations relating braid and commutation classes

Combinatorics 2018-08-06 v2

Abstract

We obtain an upper and lower bound for the number of reduced words for a permutation in terms of the number of braid classes and the number of commutation classes of the permutation. We classify the permutations that achieve each of these bounds, and enumerate both cases.
