Can we construct the circular permutation from partial partition info?

Imagine a circular permutation of n points on a circle, if we draw a line connecting any pair of points, the rest of the points are divided into two sets that are on the same side. We can partition a ...

Non-crossing and crossing bijection in higher genus

This is a follow-up question of my SO post I'll briefly mention it here. So given a $n$ cycle say $(1,2,\ldots,n)$, what are the monotonic 2 -tuples, of the form $(a,b)(c,d)$, monotonicity in on the ...

The fraction $\frac{g_{\mu}}{f_{\lambda}}$ is an integer

Let $\lambda=(\lambda_1\geq\lambda_2\geq\cdots\geq\lambda_{\ell(\lambda)}>0)$ be an integer partition of $n\in\mathbb{N}$; i.e., $\lambda_1+\cdots+\lambda_{\ell(\lambda)}=n$. One may now associate $...

Partitions of finite sets and their behavior under permutations of the set

The following seems to be useful, and probably well-known, but I can't find a reference for it. If anyone can point me to a textbook or paper which states it, then I'd be grateful. Consider a ...

Wilf's conjecture: complementary Bell numbers

The complementary Bell numbers or Uppuluri–Carpenter numbers, denoted $\tilde{B}_n$, can be delivered by $$G(x):=\sum_{n\geq0}\tilde{B}_n\frac{x^n}{n!}=e^{1-e^x}.$$ Definition. Fix an integer $m\geq0$....

genus zero permutation and noncrossing partition

Question Let $g$ to be an element of permutation group $S_n$, and $\tau = (1,2,3,\cdots,n)$ is the circular permutation. $g$ and $\tau g$ have $n+1$ cycles in total(fixed point is also a cycle), ...
