Abstract
We prove that the total number of copies of the pattern in all 132-avoiding permutations of length is the same for , , or . We provide a combinatorial proof for this unexpected threefold symmetry. We then significantly generalize this result to show an exponential number of different pairs of patterns and of length for which and the equality is non-trivial.
