Abstract
We study Mallows random permutations conditioned to avoid a given pattern of length~. When the bias parameter is of the form , we prove that these permutations converge to a non-trivial explicit deterministic permuton that depends on the pattern and on the parameter . Along the way, we provide parametrizations for -avoiding permutons, and establish a large deviation principle for uniform -avoiding permutations. As a byproduct of the proof, we also obtain asymptotic estimates of two versions of -Catalan numbers in the regime .
