Billey–Pawlowski pattern-avoidance conjecture for multiplicity-free Stanley symmetric functions
Billey–Pawlowski pattern-avoidance conjecture for multiplicity-free Stanley symmetric functions
Let be the Stanley symmetric function of a permutation . Call multiplicity-free when, in its Schur expansion, every coefficient is either or . Billey–Pawlowski's pattern-avoidance conjecture. The multiplicity-free Stanley symmetric functions are characterized by avoidance of 189 patterns in the symmetric groups through . The source cites partial or subsequent work but does not state that the characterization has been proved in full.
