On the Möbius Function of Permutations with One Descent
نویسنده
چکیده
The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, is a poset. We give a formula for the Möbius function of intervals [1, π] in this poset, for any permutation π with at most one descent. We compute the Möbius function as a function of the number and positions of pairs of consecutive letters in π that are consecutive in value. As a result of this we show that the Möbius function is unbounded on the poset of all permutations. We show that the Möbius function is zero on any interval [1, π] where π has a triple of consecutive letters whose values are consecutive and monotone. We also conjecture values of the Möbius function on some other intervals of permutations with at most one descent.

Intervals of permutations with a fixed number of descents are shellable
The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, is a poset. We present an order isomorphism from the poset of permutations with a fixed number of descents to a certain poset of words with subword order. We use this bijection to show that intervals of permutations with a fixed number of descents are shellable, and we present a formula for the Möbius function of these intervals. We p...
متن کاملThe Möbius function of partitions with restricted block sizes
The purpose of this paper is to compute the Möbius function of filters in the partition lattice formed by restricting to partitions by type. The Möbius function is determined in terms of the descent set statistics on permutations and the Möbius function of filters in the lattice of integer compositions. When the underlying integer partition is a knapsack partition, the Möbius function on intege...
