Patterns in random permutations avoiding the pattern 321

Abstract

We consider a random permutation drawn from the set of 321-avoiding permutations of length $n$ and show that the number of occurrences of another pattern $\sigma$ has a limit distribution, after scaling by $n^{m+\ell }$ where $m$ is the length of $\sigma$ and $\ell$ is the number of blocks in it. The limit is not normal, and can be expressed as a functional of a Brownian excursion.
