The \operatorname{SC}_{132} image conjecture for maximally nonperiodic permutations
Let be the classical stack-sorting map associated with the pattern , let denote the permutations avoiding and , and define by listing the odd elements of in decreasing order followed by the even elements in increasing order when is odd, with the analogous even-then-odd construction when is even.
\operatorname{SC}_{132} image conjecture. If satisfies
then
The claim concerns permutations whose second-to-last iterate has not yet entered the known periodic-point set; the paper presents it as an additional open dynamical question.
