This is a question that can be asked for any Coxeter group, but for the sake of simplicity I will restrict myself to symmetric groups. Recall the main definitions: Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer. ...

Let $\mathbb{S}_m$ be the symmetric group on $m$ letters. Let $n=m-1$. Let $\mathbf{w}=a_1\cdots a_r$ be a word on the alphabet $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. We say that $\mathbf{w}$ gives rise to an enumeration ...

Let $(W,S)$ be a finite Coxeter system. Let us consider the following situation: Let $v_1,v_2,w\in W$ such that $v_1=wv_2w^{-1}$. Let $s_{\beta_r}\ldots s_{\beta_1}$ be a reduced expression of $v_2$. ...

As the title says, my question is on a specific argument in Kirillov - Skew divided difference operators and Schubert polynomials (journal, MSN) on positivity of divided difference operators. I recall ...

Let $W$ be the symmetric group on $n+1$ letters. Let $\ell$ be the length function on $W$. As the title says, can we characterize all $v\in W$ such that there exists a $w\in W$ such that for all ...

How can k permutations on n-set be arranged to maximize minimal pairwise Kendall tau distance (i.e. number of discordant pairs) between them? For two permutations this is obviously when the second ...
