In this paper, we introduce the concept of the over-Mahonian number, which counts the overlined permutations of length $n$ with $k$ inversions, allowing the first elements associated with the inversions to be independently overlined or not.…
Let $G$ be a finite group. For all $a \in \Z$, such that $(a,|G|)=1$, the function $\rho_a: G \to G$ sending $g$ to $g^a$ defines a permutation of the elements of $G$. Motivated by a recent generalization of Zolotarev's proof of classic…
Stern's diatomic sequence is a well-studied and simply defined sequence with many fascinating characteristics. The binary signed-digit representation of integers is an alternative representation of integers with much use in efficient…
In this paper, we consider ordered set partitions obtained by imposing conditions on the size of the lists, and such that the first $r$ elements are in distinct blocks, respectively. We introduce a generalization of the Lah numbers. For…
Lehmer's code defines a bijection between the symmetric group and the set of staircase compositions. In this paper, we characterize a poset structure on these compositions that is equivalent to the strong Bruhat order on the symmetric…
The extension of majorization (also called the rearrangement ordering), to more general groups than the symmetric (permutation) group, is referred to as $G$-majorization. There are strong results in the case that $G$ is a reflection group…
The group algebra of the permutation group is spanned by a set of elements called projectors. The coordinates of permutations expanded in projectors are matrix elements of irreducible representations. The projectors of the permutation group…
The paper makes the observation that all orders of information entropy are equal in signals composed of repeating units of distinct symbols where the units can be classified as a member of a symmetry group. This leads to an improved metric…
We give a detailed analysis of the proportion of elements in the symmetric group on $n$ points whose order divides $m$, for $n$ sufficiently large and $m \ge n$ with $m = O(n)$.
Drawing on a problem posed by Hertzsprung in 1887, we say that a given permutation $\pi\in\mathcal{S}_n$ contains the Hertzsprung pattern $\sigma\in\mathcal{S}_k$ if there is factor $\pi(d+1)\pi(d+2)\cdots\pi(d+k)$ of $\pi$ such that…
This article presents a methodology that automatically derives a combinatorial specification for a permutation class C, given its basis B of excluded patterns and the set of simple permutations in C, when these sets are both finite. This is…
Hultman, Linusson, Shareshian, and Sj\"ostrand gave a pattern avoidance characterization of the permutations for which the number of chambers of its associated inversion arrangement is the same as the size of its lower interval in Bruhat…
In this paper, we deal with reversing and extended symmetries of shifts generated by bijective substitutions. We provide equivalent conditions for a permutation on the alphabet to generate a reversing/extended symmetry, and algorithms how…
We define new statistics, (c, d)-descents, on the colored permutation groups Z_r \wr S_n and compute the distribution of these statistics on the elements in these groups. We use some combinatorial approaches, recurrences, and generating…
Different ways to describe a permutation, as a sequence of integers, or a product of Coxeter generators, or a tree, give different choices to define a simple permutation. We recollect few of them, define new types of simple permutations,…
The shard intersection order is a new lattice structure on a finite Coxeter group W which encodes the geometry of the reflection arrangement and the lattice theory of the weak order. In the case where W is the symmetric group, we…
We investigate permutations in terms of their cycle structure and descent set. To do this, we generalize the classical bijection of Gessel and Reutenauer to deal with permutations that have some ascending and some descending blocks. We then…
We use geometric fixed points to describe the homotopy theory of genuine equivariant commutative ring spectra after inverting the group order. The main innovation is the use of the extra structure provided by the Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel norms…
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…
An infinite permutation is a linear ordering of the set of non-negative integers. Generally, the properties of infinite permutations analogous to those of infinite words show some resemblances and some differences between permutations and…
