We introduce and study new refinements of inversion statistics for permutations, such as k-step inversions, (the number of inversions with fixed position differences) and non-inversion sums (the sum of the differences of positions of the…

Let M be an arbitrary Hermitian matrix of order n, and k be a positive integer less than or equal to n. We show that if k is large, the distribution of eigenvalues on the real line is almost the same for almost all principal submatrices of…

The Delta Conjecture of Haglund, Remmel, and Wilson is a recent generalization of the Shuffle Conjecture in the field of diagonal harmonics. In this paper we give evidence for the Delta Conjecture by proving a pair of conjectures of Wilson…

Normal approximations for descents and inversions of permutations of the set $\{1,2,...,n\}$ are well known. A number of sequences that occur in practice, such as the human genome and other genomes, contain many repeated elements. Motivated…

By a re-examination of MacMahon's original proof of his celebrated theorem on the distribution of the major indices over permutations, we give a reformulation of his argument in terms of the structure of labeled partitions. In this…

In a recent paper, Baxter and Zeilberger show that the two most important Mahonian statistics, the inversion number and the major index, are asymptotically independently normally distributed on permutations. In another recent paper,…

In this paper we study the inverse of so-called unfair permutations, and explore various properties of them. Our investigation begins with comparing this class of permutations with uniformly random permutations, and showing that they behave…

We introduce the notion of a weighted inversion statistic on the symmetric group, and examine its distribution on each conjugacy class. Our work generalizes the study of several common permutation statistics, including the number of…

The $k$-arrangements are permutations whose fixed points are $k$-colored. We prove enumerative results related to statistics and patterns on $k$-arrangements, confirming several conjectures by Blitvi\'c and Steingr\'imsson. In particular,…

We prove that the Mahonian-Stirling pairs of permutation statistics $(\sor, \cyc)$ and $(\inv, \mathrm{rlmin})$ are equidistributed on the set of permutations that correspond to arrangements of $n$ non-atacking rooks on a Ferrers board with…

In this paper, we generalise several recent results by Archer and Geary on descents in powers of permutations, and confirm all their conjectures. Specifically, for all $k\in\mathbb{Z}^+$, we prove explicit formulas for the expected numbers…

For a finite subset $I$ of positive integers, the descent polynomial $\mathcal{D}(I;n)$ counts the number of permutations in $S_n$ that have descent set $I$. We generalize descent polynomials by considering permutations with a specific…

A ballot permutation is a permutation $\pi$ such that in any prefix of $\pi$ the descent number is not more than the ascent number. By using a reversal concatenation map, we give a formula for the joint distribution (pk, des) of the peak…

We provide two explicit bijections demonstrating that, among permutations, the number of invisible inversions is equidistributed with the number of occurrences of the vincular pattern 13-2 after sorting the set of runs.

A classical result of MacMahon shows that the length function and the major index are equi-distributed over the symmetric group. Foata and Sch\"utzenberger gave a remarkable refinement and proved that these parameters are equi-distributed…
