Uniquely Sorted Permutations
Abstract.
We say a permutation is uniquely sorted if it has exactly 1
preimage under West's stack-sorting map. In this extended abstract, we
describe some of the rich enumerative structure that the set of such
permutations possesses. After stating a characterization of uniquely
sorted permutations, we study their enumeration, which is given by
Lassalle's sequence and is connected to free probability theory. We
then consider five well-studied classes of posets defined on Dyck
paths, establishing bijections between uniquely sorted permutations
that avoid various patterns and intervals in these posets. We end with
several conjectures.
