Prefix Exchanging and Pattern Avoidance by Involutions
Let In() denote the number of involutions in the symmetric group Sn which avoid the permutation . We say that two permutations , Sj may be exchanged if for every n, k, and order...

On Certain Integral Schreier Graphs of the Symmetric Group
We compute the spectrum of the Schreier graph of the symmetric group Sn corresponding to the Young subgroup S2 × Sn−2 and the generating set consisting of initial reversals. In ...

A Survey on Packing and Covering Problems in the Hamming Permutation Space
Consider the symmetric group Sn equipped with the Hamming metric dH . Packing and covering problems in the finite metric space (Sn, dH ) are surveyed, including a combination of b...

Fix-Mahonian calculus, I: Two transformations
We construct two bijections of the symmetric group Sn onto itself that enable us to show that three new three-variable statistics are equidistributed with classical statistics invo...
