We prove that there are permutation classes (hereditary properties of permutations) of every growth rate (Stanley-Wilf limit) at least \lambda \approx 2.48187, the unique real root of x^5-2x^4-2x^2-2x-1, thereby establishing a conjecture of…

In the antecedent paper to this it was established that there is an algebraic number $\xi\approx 2.30522$ such that while there are uncountably many growth rates of permutation classes arbitrarily close to $\xi$, there are only countably…

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 establish that there is an algebraic number $\xi\approx 2.30522$ such that while there are uncountably many growth rates of permutation classes arbitrarily close to $\xi,$ there are only countably many less than $\xi$. Central to the…

We establish a phase transition for permutation classes (downsets of permutations under the permutation containment order): there is an algebraic number $\kappa$, approximately 2.20557, for which there are only countably many permutation…

Pin sequences play an important role in the structural study of permutation classes. In this paper, we study the permutation classes that comprise all the finite subpermutations contained in an infinite pin sequence. We prove that these…

We study aspects of the enumeration of permutation classes, sets of permutations closed downwards under the subpermutation order. First, we consider monotone grid classes of permutations. We present procedures for calculating the generating…

The VC-dimension of a family P of n-permutations is the largest integer k such that the set of restrictions of the permutations in P on some k-tuple of positions is the set of all k! permutation patterns. Let r_k(n) be the maximum size of a…

We study the values of the M\"obius function $\mu$ of intervals in the containment poset of permutations. We construct a sequence of permutations $\pi_n$ of size $2n-2$ for which $\mu(1,\pi_n)$ is given by a polynomial in $n$ of degree 7.…

We answer several questions of Erd\H{o}s regarding sequences of natural numbers $A$ whose translates $n+A$ intersect with the squarefree numbers in various specified ways. For instance, we show that if every translate only contains finitely…

We consider long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, where the probability that two vertices at distance $r$ are connected by an edge is given by $p(r)=1-\exp[-\lambda(r)]\in(0,1)$ and the presence or absence of different edges are…

We show that the least exponential growth of counting functions which admits uncountably many closed permutation classes lies between 2^n and (2.33529...)^n.

Let $\cM$ be a minor-closed class of matroids that does not contain arbitrarily long lines. The growth rate function, $h:\bN\rightarrow \bN$ of $\cM$ is given by $$h(n) = \max(|M|\, : \, M\in \cM, simple, rank-$n$).$$ The Growth Rate…

For a fixed exponent $0 < \theta \leq 1$, it is expected that we have the prime number theorem in short intervals $\sum_{x \leq n < x+x^\theta} \Lambda(n) \sim x^\theta$ as $x \to \infty$. From the recent zero density estimates of Guth and…

A permutation is centrosymmetric if it is fixed by a half-turn rotation of its diagram. Initially motivated by a question by Alexander Woo, we investigate the question of whether the growth rate of a permutation class equals the growth rate…

Pin permutations play an important role in the structural study of permutation classes, most notably in relation to simple permutations and well-quasi-ordering, and in enumerative consequences arising from these. In this paper, we continue…

The exponential growth rate of non polynomially growing subgroups of $GL_d$ is conjectured to admit a uniform lower bound. This is known for non-amenable subgroups, while for amenable subgroups it is known to imply the Lehmer conjecture…

We show that once $\theta>17/30$, every sufficiently long interval $[x,x+x^\theta]$ contains many $k$-term arithmetic progressions of primes, uniformly in the starting point $x$. More precisely, for each fixed $k\ge3$ and $\theta>17/30$,…

We study the relationship between the growth rate of an integer sequence and harmonic and functional properties of the corresponding sequence of characters. In particular we show that every polynomial sequence contains a set that is…

Infinite antichains of permutations have long been used to construct interesting permutation classes and counterexamples. We prove the existence and detail the construction of infinite antichains with arbitrarily large growth rates. As a…
