A multi-sequence formula for the Möbius function of the permutation poset
Let be a decomposable permutation with sequences of equal components
of respective lengths , for . Let be obtained from by reducing the -th sequence to length , where . Write and . The multi-sequence Möbius formula. The alternating sum over normal embeddings satisfies
This conjecture extends the formula for removing elements from a single sequence of equal components in the decomposable permutation . It gives an explicit product formula for the relevant alternating sum, and hence is intended to describe the Möbius function of the interval when several equal-component sequences are reduced simultaneously. Its resolution is not established by the supplied context.
