Let $S_{\rm lcm}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ such that ${\rm lcm}[j,\pi(j)]\le n$ for each $j\in[n]$. Further, let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the number of permutations $\pi$ of $[n]$ such that…
In a large, possibly infinite population, each subject is colored red with probability $p$, independently of the others. Then, a finite sub-population is selected, possibly as a function of the coloring. The imbalance in the sub-population…
In an evolutionary system in which the rules of mutation are local in nature, the number of possible outcomes after $m$ mutations is an exponential function of $m$ but with a rate that depends only on the set of rules and not the size of…
We study random spatial permutations on Z^3 where each jump x -> \pi(x) is penalized by a factor exp(-T ||x-\pi(x)||^2). The system is known to exhibit a phase transition for low enough T where macroscopic cycles appear. We observe that the…
We call $i$ a fixed point of a given sequence if the value of that sequence at the $i$-th position coincides with $i$. Here, we enumerate fixed points in the class of restricted growth sequences. The counting process is conducted by…
We present a new proof of a fundamental result concerning cycles of random permutations which gives some intuition for the connection between Touchard polynomials and the Poisson distribution. We also introduce a rather novel permutation…
An involution is usually defined as a mapping that is its own inverse. In this paper, we study quaternion involutions that have the additional properties of distribution over addition and multiplication. We review formal axioms for such…
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…
We find the complete equivalence group of a class of (1+1)-dimensional second-order evolution equations, which is infinite-dimensional. The equivariant moving frame methodology is invoked to construct, in the regular case of the…
A general explicit upper bound is obtained for the proportion $P(n,m)$ of elements of order dividing $m$, where $n-1 \le m \le cn$ for some constant $c$, in the finite symmetric group $S_n$. This is used to find lower bounds for the…
In the work of Varchenko, Zagier, Thibon, and Reiner, Saliola, Welker, linear algebraic properties of the multiplication map on the group algebra of the group algebra element are studied, which is the sum over all permutations weighted by…
Let $A_n\subseteq S_n$ denote the alternating and the symmetric groups on $1,...,n$. MacMahaon's theorem, about the equi-distribution of the length and the major indices in $S_n$, has received far reaching refinements and generalizations,…
In this paper we characterize permutation groups that are automorphism groups of coloured graphs and digraphs and are abelian as abstract groups. This is done in terms of basic permutation group properties. Using Schur's classical…
The goal of this paper is to go further in the analysis of the behavior of the number of descents in a random permutation. Via two different approaches relying on a suitable martingale decomposition or on the Irwin-Hall distribution, we…
A permutation $\pi$ of a multiset is said to be a {\em quasi-Stirling} permutation if there does not exist four indices $i<j<k<\ell$ such that $\pi_i=\pi_k$ and $\pi_j=\pi_{\ell}$. For a multiset $\mathcal{M}$, denote by…
We use the theory of symmetric functions to enumerate various classes of alternating permutations w of {1,2,...,n}. These classes include the following: (1) both w and w^{-1} are alternating, (2) w has certain special shapes, such as…
It has been known that the transition probability of the single species ASEP with $N$ particles is expressed as a sum of $N!$ $N$-fold contour integrals which are related to permutations in the symmetric group $S_N$. On other hand, the…
We calculate extensions between certain irreducible admissible representations of p-adic groups.
This paper is continuation of the systematic study of distribution of quadrant marked mesh patterns. We study quadrant marked mesh patterns on up-down and down-up permutations, also known as alternating and reverse alternating permutations,…
A method is proposed for the calculation of diffusion constants for one-dimensional maps exhibiting deterministic diffusion. The procedure is based on harmonic inversion and uses a known relation between the diffusion constant and the…
