Fence Posets, Good Gradings and Frobenius Maximal Parabolics

Anthony Giaquinto, John Irving, Aaron Lauve +1

Let be a Frobenius maximal parabolic subalgebra of . For any for which the Kirillov form is non-degenerate, l…

Trees, Parking Functions and Factorizations of Full Cycles

John Irving, Amarpreet Rattan

Parking functions of length are well known to be in correspondence with both labelled trees on vertices and factorizations of the full cycle into…

Inequivalent Factorizations of Permutations

Gregory Berkolaiko, John Irving

Two factorizations of a permutation into products of cycles are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by repeatedly interchanging adjacent disjoint factors. This paper s…

The number of lattice paths below a cyclically shifting boundary

J. Irving, A. Rattan

We count the number of lattice paths lying under a cyclically shifting piecewise linear boundary of varying slope. Our main result extends well known enumerative formulae concernin…

Minimal transitive factorizations of permutations into cycles

John Irving

We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed i…

Factorizations of permutations into star transpositions

John Irving, Amarpreet Rattan

We give a compact expression for the number of factorizations of any permutation into a minimal number of transpositions of the form . Our result generalizes earlier work of…
