Let $s$ be West's stack-sorting map, and let $s_{T}$ be the generalized stack-sorting map, where instead of being required to increase, the stack avoids subpermutations that are order-isomorphic to any permutation in the set $T$. In 2020,…

Baxter permutations, plane bipolar orientations, and a specific family of walks in the non-negative quadrant, called tandem walks, are well-known to be related to each other through several bijections. We introduce a further new family of…

We introduce consecutive-pattern-avoiding stack-sorting maps $\text{SC}_\sigma$, which are natural generalizations of West's stack-sorting map $s$ and natural analogues of the classical-pattern-avoiding stack-sorting maps $s_\sigma$…

We prove refined enumeration results on several symmetry classes as well as related classes of alternating sign matrices with respect to classical boundary statistics, using the six-vertex model of statistical physics. More precisely, we…

Type IIB S-folds of the form $\textrm{AdS}_{4} \times \textrm{S}^1 \times \textrm{S}^5$ have been shown to contain axion-like deformations parameterising flat directions in the 4D scalar potential and corresponding to marginal deformations…

We show that the number of signed permutations avoiding 1234 equals the number of signed permutations avoiding 2143 (also called vexillary signed permutations), resolving a conjecture by Anderson and Fulton. The main tool that we use is the…

We introduce three deformations, called $\alpha$-, $\beta$- and $\gamma$-deformation respectively, of a $N$-body probabilistic model, first proposed by Rodr\'iguez et al. (2008), having $q$-Gaussians as $N\to\infty$ limiting probability…

The main result of this work is the characterization of the covering relations of the Bruhat order of the maximal parabolic quotients of type B. Our approach is mainly combinatorial and is based in the pattern of the corresponding…

Let $\pi_n$ be a uniformly chosen random permutation on $[n]$. Using an analysis of the probability that two overlapping consecutive $k$-permutations are order isomorphic, we show that the expected number of distinct consecutive patterns in…

Weights of permutations were originally introduced by Dugan, Glennon, Gunnells, and Steingr\'imsson (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A 164:24-49, 2019) in their study of the combinatorics of tiered trees. Given a permutation…

We enumerate 132-avoiding permutations of order 3 in terms of the Catalan and Motzkin generating functions, answering a question of B\'{o}na and Smith from 2019. We also enumerate 231-avoiding permutations that are composed only of…

The length is(w) of the longest increasing subsequence of a permutation w in the symmetric group S_n has been the object of much investigation. We develop comparable results for the length as(w) of the longest alternating subsequence of w,…

Matrix mutation of skew-symmetrizable matrices is foundational in cluster algebra theory. Effective mutation invariants are essential for determining whether two matrices lie in the same mutation class. Casals~\cite{Casals} introduced a…

We construct an intriguing bijection between $021$-avoiding inversion sequences and $(2413,4213)$-avoiding permutations, which proves a sextuple equidistribution involving double Eulerian statistics. Two interesting applications of this…

Let $S_n$ be the set of all permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and let $\sigma=(\sigma_1,\sigma_2,\ldots,\sigma_n)\in S_n$. The {\it initial longest increasing sequence} (ILIS) in $\sigma$ has length $m$ if, for $1\le m\le n-1$,…

We show that the number of geometric permutations of an arbitrary collection of $n$ pairwise disjoint convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d\geq 3$, is $O(n^{2d-3}\log n)$, improving Wenger's 20 years old bound of $O(n^{2d-2})$.

A conjecture by R. Stanley on a class of alternating permutations, which is proved by R. Chapman and L. Williams states that alternating permutations with the maximal number of fixed points is equidistributed with derangements. We extend…

In this paper the proofs are given of important properties of deformed Abelian differentials introduced earlier in connection with quantum integrable systems. The starting point of the construction is Baxter equation. In particular, we…

Recently, Babson and Steingrimsson have introduced generalised permutation patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. We consider pattern avoidance for such patterns, and…

We address a question and a conjecture on the expected length of the longest common subsequences of two i.i.d.$\ $random permutations of $[n]:=\{1,2,...,n\}$. The question is resolved by showing that the minimal expectation is not attained…
