Abstract

The fundamental bijection is a bijection $\theta:\mathcal{S}_n\to\mathcal{S}_n$ in which one uses the standard cycle form of one permutation to obtain another permutation in one-line form. In this paper, we enumerate the set of permutations $\pi \in \mathcal{S}_n$ that avoids a pattern $\sigma \in \mathcal{S}_3$, whose image $\theta(\pi)$ also avoids $\sigma$. We additionally consider what happens under repeated iterations of $\theta$; in particular, we enumerate permutations $\pi \in \mathcal{S}_n$ that have the property that $\pi$ and its first $k$ iterations under $\theta$ all avoid a pattern $\sigma$. Finally, we consider permutations with the property that $\pi=\theta^2(\pi)$ that avoid a given pattern $\sigma$, and end the paper with some directions for future study.<br />Comment: 21 pages
