Width-$k$ Generalizations of Classical Permutation Statistics

Combinatorics 2017-01-18 v1

Abstract

We introduce new natural generalizations of the classical descent and inversion statistics for permutations, called width-kk descents and width-kk inversions. These variations induce generalizations of the excedance and major statistics, providing a framework in which the most well-known equidistributivity results for classical statistics are paralleled. We explore additional relationships among the statistics providing specific formulas in certain special cases. Moreover, we explore the behavior of these width-kk statistics in the context of pattern avoidance.
