Abstract

We consider two recent open problems stating that certain statistics on various sets of combinatorial objects are equidistributed. The first, posed by Anders Claesson and Svante Linusson, relates nestings in matchings on $\{1,2,\ldots,2n\}$ to occurrences of a certain pattern in permutations in $S_n$. The second, posed by Miles Jones and Jeffrey Remmel, relates occurrences of a large class of consecutive permutation patterns to occurrences of the same pattern in the cycles of permutations. We develop a general method that solves both of these problems and many more. We further employ the Garsia-Milne involution principle to obtain purely bijective proofs of these results. Nous considérons deux derniers problèmes ouverts indiquant que certaines statistiques sur les divers ensembles d'objets combinatoires sont équiréparties. La première, posée par Anders Claesson et Svante Linusson, concerne les imbrications dans des filtrages sur $\{1,2,\ldots,2n\}$ pour les occurrences d'un certain modèle de permutations dans $S_n$. La seconde, posée par Miles Jones et Jeffrey Remmel, concerne les occurrences d'une large classe de schémas de permutation consécutive aux évènements du même modèle dans les cycles de permutations. Nous développons une méthode générale qui résout ces deux problèmes et beaucoup plus. Nous avons également utiliser le principe d'involution Garsia-Milne pour obtenir des preuves purement bijectives de ces résultats.

Highlights

  • We present a general method for proving that certain pairs of statistics are equidistributed

  • In addition to the examples in this paper, we have found interesting new results involving rook placements and permutation statistics

  • It is clear that the method can be applied to many more types of combinatorial objects as well

Summary

Introduction

We present a general method for proving that certain pairs of statistics are equidistributed. We embed the objects under consideration into much larger sets. Given a bijection between these larger sets with certain properties, our method can be used to prove the original statement. Our method may be augmented with the Garsia-Milne involution principle [3] to obtain bijective proofs of these results. As examples of the method, we consider two recent open problems, one by Claesson and Linusson [2] and one by Jones and Remmel [4]. In the remainder of this section, we introduce these two problems.
