Abstract
We provide a cyclic permutation analogue of the Erd\H os-Szekeres theorem. In particular, we show that every cyclic permutation of length has either an increasing cyclic sub-permutation of length or a decreasing cyclic sub-permutation of length , and show that the result is tight. We also characterize all maximum-length cyclic permutations that do not have an increasing cyclic sub-permutation of length or a decreasing cyclic sub-permutation of length .
