On pattern-avoiding permutons

Combinatorics 2024-11-15 v3

Abstract

The theory of limits of permutations leads to limit objects called permutons, which are certain Borel measures on the unit square. We prove that permutons avoiding a given permutation of order kk have a particularly simple structure. Namely, almost every fiber of the disintegration of the permuton (say, along the x-axis) consists only of atoms, at most (k1)(k-1) many, and this bound is sharp. We use this to give a simple proof of the `permutation removal lemma'.
