The circular peak set of a permutation $\sigma$ is the set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i-1)<\sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. Let $\mathcal{P}_n$ be the set of all the subset $S\subseteq [n]$ such that there exists a permutation $\sigma$ which has the…

We say a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots\pi_n$ in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ has a peak at index $i$ if $\pi_{i-1}<\pi_i>\pi_{i+1}$ and we let $P(\pi)=\{i \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} \, \vert \, \mbox{$i$ is a peak of $\pi$}\}$.…

The number of peaks of a random permutation is known to be asymptotically normal. We give a new proof of this and prove a central limit theorem for the distribution of peaks in a fixed conjugacy class of the symmetric group. Our technique…

Let $S^B_n$ be the Coxeter group of type B. We denote the set of indices where $\sigma\in S^B_n$ has a peak as $Peak(\sigma)$ and let $P^{B}(S;n)=\{\sigma \in S^{B}_n~|~ Peak(\sigma)=S\}$. In \cite{metrics}, Diaz-Lopez, Haymaker, Keough,…

In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…

Let $\pi=(\pi_1,\pi_2,\hdots,\pi_n)$ be permutation of the elements $1,2,\hdots,n. $ Positive integer $k\leq2^{n-1}$ we call index of $\pi,$ if in its binary notation as $n$-digital binary number, the 1's correspond to the ascent points. We…

The circular descent of a permutation $\sigma$ is a set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. In this paper, we focus on the enumerations of permutations by the circular descent set. Let $cdes_n(S)$ be the number of permutations of…

We obtain an explicit formula for the variance of the number of $k$-peaks in a uniformly random permutation. This is then used to obtain an asymptotic formula for the variance of the length of longest $k$-alternating subsequence in random…

Given a set $I \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, consider the sequences $\{d_n(I)\},\{p_n(I)\}$ where for any $n$, $d_n(I)$ and $p_n(I)$ respectively count the number of permutations in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ whose descent set…

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.

A permutation on an alphabet $ \Sigma $, is a sequence where every element in $ \Sigma $ occurs precisely once. Given a permutation $ \pi $= ($\pi_{1} $, $ \pi_{2} $, $ \pi_{3} $,....., $ \pi_{n} $) over the alphabet $ \Sigma $ =$\{ $0, 1,…

Initiated by Davis, Nelson, Petersen and Tenner (2018), the enumerative study of pinnacle sets of permutations has attracted a fair amount of attention recently. In this article, we provide a recurrence that can be used to compute…

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…
