The USPN conjecture for non-adaptive one-sided permutation-freeness testing

From papers

Let π\pi be a permutation of length kk, and let u(π)u(\pi) denote its USPN. A permutation is π\pi-free if it contains no occurrence of π\pi. A non-adaptive one-sided ε\varepsilon-test is an algorithm that always accepts π\pi-free inputs, rejects inputs that are ε\varepsilon-far from π\pi-free, and whose queries are fixed independently of the input.

USPN conjecture. For any permutation π\pi of any length, π\pi-freeness has a non-adaptive one-sided ε\varepsilon-test making

Θ~ε(n11/u(π))\tilde{\Theta}_{\varepsilon}\left(n^{1-1/u(\pi)}\right)

queries.

The preceding discussion states that this would make the USPN u(π)u(\pi) the correct parameter governing the difficulty of non-adaptively testing π\pi-freeness with one-sided tests, matching the known lower bound up to factors polynomial in ε\varepsilon and logn\log n.
