The symmetry properties under permutation of tomograms representing the states of a system of identical particles are studied. Starting from the action of the permutation group on the density matrix we define its action on the tomographic…

A permutation $\sigma$ describing the relative orders of the first $n$ iterates of a point $x$ under a self-map $f$ of the interval $I=[0,1]$ is called an \emph{order pattern}. For fixed $f$ and $n$, measuring the points $x\in I$ (according…

We define a statistic on the graph of commutation classes of a permutation of the symmetric group which is used to show that these graphs are equipped with a ranked poset structure, with a minimum and maximum. This characterization also…

An infinite permutation is a linear order on the set N. We study the properties of infinite permutations generated by fixed points of some uniform binary morphisms, and find the formula for their complexity.

Consider S_n, the symmetric group on n letters, and let maj pi denote the major index of a permutation pi in S_n. Given positive integers k,l and nonnegative integers i,j, define m_n^{k,l}(i,j) := number of pi in S_n such that maj pi = i…

In this paper we consider permutations of sequences of partitions, obtaining a result which parallels von Neumann's theorem on permutations of dense sequences and uniformly distributed sequences of points.

We determine the probability that a random n x n symmetric matrix over {1, 2, ... , m} has determinant divisible by m.

Let $m\ge 3$ be an integer. It is proved that the $m$-closure of a given solvable permutation group of degree $n$ can be constructed in time $n^{O(m)}$.

We consider two related problems arising from a question of R. Graham on quasirandom phenomena in permutation patterns. A ``pattern'' in a permutation $\sigma$ is the order type of the restriction of $\sigma : [n] \to [n]$ to a subset $S…

Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by the prime numbers not less than $p$. We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of $S$ with each other, e. g., the biggest atom $u$ of $S$ with $p$…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. If the proportion of fixed-point-free elements in $G$ (or a coset) equals the proportion of fixed-point-free elements in $S_n$, then $G=S_n$. The analogue for $A_n$ holds if $n \ge 7$. We…

The number of parts in the partitions (resp. distinct partitions) of $n$ with parts from a set were considered. Its generating functions were obtained. Consequently, we derive several recurrence identities for the following functions: the…

For each positive integer n this paper considers a one-parameter family of complex-valued measures on the symmetric group S_n, depending on a complex parameter z. For parameter values z=p^f a prime power, this measure describes splitting…

In this note, we represent integers in a type of factoradic notation. Rather than use the corresponding Lehmer code, we will view integers as permutations. Given a pair of integers n and k, we give a formula for n mod k in terms of the…

We derive a generating function for the number of integer compositions of $n$ into $k$ parts (i.e., $k$-compositions of $n$) with a given number of inversions, and obtain similar results for $k$-compositions of $n$ with a given number of…

The article contains some important classes of multisets. Combinatorial proofs of problems on the number of m-submultisets and m-permutations of multiset elements are considered and effective algorithms for their calculation are given. In…

Let $N(n)$ denote the number of isomorphism types of groups of order $n$. We consider the integers $n$ that are products of at most $4$ not necessarily distinct primes and exhibit formulas for $N(n)$ for such $n$.

The pentagonal number theorem is extended to the sequence of the number of integer partitions with all parts equal. The new pentagonal number theorem implies that the distribution of the primes is just a specific detail of the application…

A composition of a nonnegative integer (n) is a sequence of positive integers whose sum is (n). A composition is palindromic if it is unchanged when its terms are read in reverse order. We provide a generating function for the number of…

We give an explicit expression of the normalized characters of the symmetric group in terms of the contents of the partition labelling the representation.
