Catalan structures arising from pattern-avoiding Stoimenow matchings and other Fishburn objects

Shuzhen Lv, Sergey Kitaev, Philip B. Zhang

In connection with Vassiliev's knot invariants, Stoimenow introduced in 1998 a class of matchings, also known as regular linearized chord diagrams. These matchings are linked to va…

Distribution of statistics on separable permutations restricted by a flat POP

Alice L. L. Gao, Sergey Kitaev, Ya-Xing Li +1

Finding distributions of statistics in pattern-avoiding permutations has attracted significant attention in the literature. In particular, Chen, Kitaev, and Zhang derived functiona…

Stoimenow matchings avoiding multiple Catalan patterns simultaneously

Shuzhen Lv, Sergey Kitaev

Motivated by Vassiliev's knot invariants, Stoimenow introduced a special class of matchings, now known as Stoimenow matchings. These matchings have since been linked to various com…

A bijection between - and -avoiding permutations preserving -stack-sortability

Yang Li, Sergey Kitaev, Zhicong Lin +1

We construct a bijection between - and -avoiding permutations that preserves the property of -stack-sortability. Our bijection transforms natural statistics between th…

Joint distributions of statistics over permutations avoiding two patterns of length 3

Tian Han, Sergey Kitaev

Finding distributions of permutation statistics over pattern-avoiding classes of permutations attracted much attention in the literature. In particular, Bukata et al. found distrib…

Distribution of maxima and minima statistics on alternating permutations, Springer numbers, and avoidance of flat POPs

Tian Han, Sergey Kitaev, Philip B. Zhang

In this paper, we find distributions of the left-to-right maxima, right-to-left maxima, left-to-right minima and right-to-left-minima statistics on up-down and down-up permutations…
