Staircase diagrams, pattern avoidance, and smooth permutations
Faqruddin Ali Azam, Edward Richmond
Source abstract
A well known result due to Lakshmibai and Sandhya states that smooth Schubert varieties of type A correspond to permutations that avoid the patterns 3412 and 4231. It was later shown by the second author and Slofstra that staircase diagrams over a simply-laced Dynkin diagram are in bijection with smooth Schubert varieties of the corresponding type. We explore how the poset structure of staircase diagrams is connected with pattern avoidance on smooth permutations. As an application, we enumerate several subclasses of smooth permutations which are characterized by pattern avoidance. These subclasses include the class of polished permutations which were studied by Gaetz and Gao.
