Metrics on Signed Permutations with the Same Peak Set

Abstract

Let SnBS^B_n be the Coxeter group of type B. We denote the set of indices where σSnB\sigma\in S^B_n has a peak as Peak(σ)Peak(\sigma) and let PB(S;n)={σSnB  Peak(σ)=S}P^{B}(S;n)=\{\sigma \in S^{B}_n~|~ Peak(\sigma)=S\}. In \cite{metrics}, Diaz-Lopez, Haymaker, Keough, Park and White considered metrics for unsigned permutations with the same peak set. In this paper, we generalize their result by studying Hamming, ll_{\infty}, and the word metrics on PB(S;n)P^{B}(S;n) for all SS. We also determine the minimum and maximum possible values that these metrics can achieve in these subsets of SnBS^B_n.
