Abstract

We establish a scaling limit result for the length LIS(σn)\operatorname{LIS}(\sigma_n) of the longest increasing subsequence of a permutation σn\sigma_n of size nn sampled from the Brownian separable permuton μp\boldsymbol{\mu}_p of parameter p(0,1)p\in(0,1), which is the universal limit of pattern-avoiding permutations. Specifically, we prove that LIS(σn)nα  a.s.n  X,\frac{\operatorname{LIS}(\sigma_n)}{n^\alpha}\;\underset{n\to\infty}{\overset{\mathrm{a.s.}}{\longrightarrow}}\; X, where α=α(p)\alpha=\alpha(p) is the unique solution in the interval (1/2,1)(1/2,1) to the equation 1412απΓ(1212α)Γ(112α)=pp1,\frac{1}{4^{\frac{1}{2\alpha}}\sqrt{\pi}}\,\frac{\Gamma\big(\tfrac{1}{2}-\tfrac{1}{2\alpha}\big)}{\Gamma\big(1-\tfrac{1}{2\alpha}\big)}=\frac{p}{p-1}, and X=X(p)X=X(p) is a non-deterministic and a.s. positive and finite random variable, which is a measurable function of the Brownian separable permuton. Notably, the exponent α(p)\alpha(p) is an increasing continuous function of pp with α(0+)=1/2\alpha(0^+)=1/2, α(1)=1\alpha(1^-)=1 and α(1/2)0.815226\alpha(1/2)\approx0.815226, which corresponds to the permuton limit of uniform separable permutations. We prove analogous results for the size of the largest clique of a graph sampled from the Brownian cographon of parameter p(0,1)p\in(0,1).
