Turning cycle restrictions into mesh patterns via Foata's fundamental transformation

Combinatorics 2023-10-26 v2

Abstract

An adjacent qq-cycle is a natural generalization of an adjacent transposition. We show that the number of adjacent qq-cycles in a permutation maps to the sum of occurrences of two mesh patterns under Foata's fundamental transformation. As a corollary we resolve Conjecture 3.14 in the paper "From Hertzprung's problem to pattern-rewriting systems" by the first author.
