Merges

Definition

Permutation π is a merge of permutations σ and τ if the elements of π can be colored red and blue, so that the red elements are a copy of σ and the blue ones

  • f τ.

One possible merge of 132 and 321 is 624531.

Splittability

Definition

For two sets P and Q of permutations, let P ⊙ Q be the set of permutations

  • btained by merging a σ ∈ P with a τ ∈ Q.

Definition

A permutation class C is splittable if it has two proper subclasses A and B such that C ⊆ A ⊙ B. Otherwise we say that C is unsplittable. Facts: If σ is a simple permutation, then Av(σ) is an unsplittable class. If σ is a decomposable permutation other than 12, 213 or 132, then Av(σ) is a splittable class.

Amalgamation

Definition

Let σ1 and σ2 be two permutations, each having a prescribed occurrence of a permutation π. An amalgamation of σ1 and σ2 is a permutation obtained from σ1 and σ2 by identifying the two prescribed occurrences of π (and possibly identifying some more elements as well). , − →

One possible 132-amalgamation of 2413 and 2431 is the permutation 35142.

Amalgamability

Definition

A permutation class C is π-amalgamable if for any two permutations σ1, σ2 ∈ C and any prescribed

  • ccurrences of π in σ1 and σ2, there is an amalgamation of σ1 and σ2 in C.

amalgamable if it is π-amalgamable for every π ∈ C. k-amalgamable if it is π-amalgamable for every π ∈ C of length at most k.

Theorem (Cameron, 2002)

There are only 5 nontrivial amalgamable classes - Av(12), Av(21), Av(231, 213), Av(132, 213) and the class of all permutations. Fact: If a permutation class C is unsplittable, then C is also 1-amalgamable.

Motivation and plan

Questions

Is there a splittable 1-amalgamable class? Are there infinitely many such classes? Main result: Av(1342, 1423) is both splittable and 1-amalgamable.

LR-inflations

Definition

For permutation π with k left-to-right minima and σ1, . . . , σk non-empty permutations, the LR-inflation of π by the sequence σ1, . . . , σk is the inflation of LR-minima of π by σ1, . . . , σk.

LR-closures

Definition

A permutation class C is closed under LR-inflations if for every π ∈ C and for every k-tuple σ1, . . . , σk of permutations from C, the LR-inflation πσ1, . . . , σk belongs to C. The closure of C under LR-inflations, denoted C lr, is the smallest class which contains C and is closed under LR-inflations. Our plan: Show that Av(1342, 1423) is in fact the LR-closure of Av(123). Find properties of a permutation class C that imply splittability and 1-amalgamability of C lr. Show that Av(123) has these properties.

Av(1342, 1423) = Av(123)lr

Sketch of proof: Any π ∈ Av(123)lr avoids both 1342 and 1423. For π ∈ Av(1342, 1423):

Consider the right-to-left maxima of π. π does not contain 132 with only one of the letters mapped to a RL-maximum. Occurrence of 132 with only the letter 3 mapped to RL-maximum forces 1423.

Av(1342, 1423) = Av(123)lr

Sketch of proof: For π ∈ Av(1342, 1423):

Split other elements of π into grid defined by the RL-maxima. Show that non-empty sets create a descending sequence of intervals. π is an LR-inflation of 123-avoiding permutation with shorter permutations. A1,1 A1,2 A1,3 A2,2 A2,3 A3,3 πi1 πi2 πi3 A1,1 A2,2 A2,3 A3,3 πi1 πi2 πi3

LR-merge

Definition

Permutation π is a LR-merge of permutations σ and τ if the elements of π that are not LR-minima can be colored red and blue, so that the red elements together with LR-minima are a copy of σ and the blue ones of τ.

One possible LR-merge of 45213 and 3214 is 462153.

LR-splittability

Definition

For two sets P and Q of permutations, let P ⊙lr Q be the set of permutations

  • btained by LR-merging a σ ∈ P with a τ ∈ Q.

Definition

A permutation class C is LR-splittable if it has two proper subclasses A and B such that C ⊆ A ⊙lr B. Observation: LR-splittability ⇒ splittability.

Proposition (Tool #1)

For C, D and E permutation classes, C ⊆ D ⊙lr E ⇒ C lr ⊆ Dlr ⊙lr E lr.

Av(123) and LR-splittability

Lemma

Av(123) is LR-splittable. Constructing a coloring of π ∈ Av(123): π is a merge of two descending sequences, LR-minima and the remaining elements. We split the non-minimal elements into consecutive runs with a greedy algorithm. Finally, every odd run is colored blue and every even run red.

LR-amalgamation

Definition

Let σ1 and σ2 be two permutations, each having a prescribed occurrence of a permutation π that does not use any LR-minima. An LR-amalgamation of σ1 and σ2 is an amalgamation σ1 and σ2 that preserves the property of being a LR-minimum.

Two different 1-amalgamations of 132 and 213, only the left one is a LR-amalgamation.

LR-amalgamability

Definition

A permutation class C is LR-amalgamable if for any two permutations σ1, σ2 ∈ C and any prescribed occurrence of 1 in σ1 and σ2, there is an LR-amalgamation of σ1 and σ2 in C.

Proposition (Tool #2)

If a permutation class C is LR-amalgamable then its LR-closure C lr is LR-amalgamable and thus also 1-amalgamable.

Av(123) and LR-amalgamability

Proposition (Waton, 2007)

The class of permutations that can be drawn on any two parallel lines of negative slope is Av(123).

Lemma

The class Av(123) is LR-amalgamable. − →

Possible LR-amalgamation of 3142 and 231 is the permutation 532614.

Av(1342, 1423)

Corollary

Av(1342, 1423) is both 1-amalgamable and splittable, which shows that 1-amalgamability ⇒ splittability.

Further directions

Question

Are there infinitely many 1-amalgamable and splittable classes? Observation: An element πi is LR-minimum ⇔ there is no occurrence of 12 that maps 2 on πi. It is possible to generalize the notions of LR-amalgamability and LR-splittability for elements that are not a specific letter in an occurrence of some permutation σ. Maybe that could help find infinitely many 1-amalgamable and splittable classes.
