For $\eta\in S_3$, let $S_n^{\text{av}(\eta)}$ denote the set of permutations in $S_n$ that avoid the pattern $\eta$, and let $E_n^{\text{av}(\eta)}$ denote the expectation with respect to the uniform probability measure on…

A descent $k$ of a permutation $\pi=\pi_{1}\pi_{2}\dots\pi_{n}$ is called a big descent if $\pi_{k}>\pi_{k+1}+1$; denote the number of big descents of $\pi$ by $\operatorname{bdes}(\pi)$. We study the distribution of the…

Given a set of permutations Pi, let S_n(Pi) denote the set of permutations in the symmetric group S_n that avoid every element of Pi in the sense of pattern avoidance. Given a subset S of {1,...,n-1}, let F_S be the fundamental…

In this paper we consider the enumeration of ordered set partitions avoiding a permutation pattern of length 2 or 3. We provide an exact enumeration for avoiding the permutation 12. We also give exact enumeration for ordered partitions with…

We study Mallows random permutations conditioned to avoid a given pattern $\alpha$ of length~$3$. When the bias parameter is of the form $e^{\beta/n}$, we prove that these permutations converge to a non-trivial explicit deterministic…

After fixing a canonical ordering (or labeling) of the elements of a finite poset, one can associate each linear extension of the poset with a permutation. Some recent papers consider specific families of posets and ask how many linear…

Pattern avoiding machines were recently introduced by Claesson, Ferrari and the current author to gain a better understanding of the classical $2$-stacksort problem. In this paper we generalize these devices by allowing permutations with…

A permutation whose any prefix has no more descents than ascents is called a ballot permutation. In this paper, we present a decomposition of ballot permutations that enables us to construct a bijection between ballot permutations and odd…

We characterize permutations whose Bruhat graphs can be drawn in the plane and those whose Bruhat graphs can be drawn in the torus. In particular, we show these properties are characterized by avoiding finitely many permutations.

A permutation $\pi \in S_n$ is said to {\it avoid} a permutation $\sigma \in S_k$ whenever $\pi$ contains no subsequence with all of the same pairwise comparisons as $\sigma$. For any set $R$ of permutations, we write $S_n(R)$ to denote the…

We determine a set of permutation patterns $q$ so that the number of permutations with $r$ occurrences of $q$ is asymptotically $n^r$ times the number of permutations avoiding $q$, partially settling a conjecture of Conway and Guttman. We…

We consider the problem of bounding the number of permutations $\sigma\in S_n$ that avoid a fixed permutation $\pi\in S_k$ in specific indices given by a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\Lambda$. We obtain relatively sharp bounds in the case where…

We give the avoidance indices (morphic and antimorphic) for all unary patterns with involution.

The large Schroder numbers are known to count several classes of permutations avoiding two 4-letter patterns. Here we show they count another family of permutations, those whose left to right minima decomposition, when reversed, is…

In this paper, we introduce the definitions of simsun succession, simsun cycle succession and simsun pattern. In particular, the ordinary simsun permutations are permutations avoiding simsun pattern 321. We study the descent and peak…

We study random uniform permutations in an important class of pattern-avoiding permutations: the separable permutations. We describe the asymptotics of the number of occurrences of any fixed given pattern in such a random permutation in…

An occurrence of a classical pattern p in a permutation \pi is a subsequence of \pi whose letters are in the same relative order (of size) as those in p. In an occurrence of a generalized pattern, some letters of that subsequence may be…

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…

In a recent preprint, Mike Cummings showed that the smooth components of suitably parametrized Springer fibers are in bijection with contracted, fully reduced Pl\"ucker degree-two $\mathfrak{sl}_r$-webs of standard type and that are…

The diagram of a 132-avoiding permutation can easily be characterized: it is simply the diagram of a partition. Based on this fact, we present a new bijection between 132-avoiding and 321-avoiding permutations. We will show that this…
