Rigidity, Descents, and Cone Walks in Pattern-Avoiding Canon Permutations

This preprint proves four conjectures on pattern avoidance in canon permutations, gives all twelve counting formulas for the 64 subsets of three-letter forbidden permutations at fixed alphabet size three, and determines principal descent factorizations. It also solves the intermediate repeated-endpoint enumeration by multichain and cone-walk methods and enumerates general alternating orbits by Davenport-Schinzel skeleton order polynomials. A Lean 4 formalization of the principal results is in progress; the present version does not claim completed formal verification. Subsequent development has been reorganized into two focused articles. The combinatorial continuation is 10.5281/zenodo.22091632, and the focused analytic cone-walk companion is 10.5281/zenodo.22091634. Version 1 remains the original unified preprint and priority record for the results stated here.

Abstract

This preprint proves four conjectures on pattern avoidance in canon permutations, gives all twelve counting formulas for the 64 subsets of three-letter forbidden permutations at fixed alphabet size three, and determines principal descent factorizations. It also solves the intermediate repeated-endpoint enumeration by multichain and cone-walk methods and enumerates general alternating orbits by Davenport-Schinzel skeleton order polynomials. A Lean 4 formalization of the principal results is in progress; the present version does not claim completed formal verification. Subsequent development has been reorganized into two focused articles. The combinatorial continuation is 10.5281/zenodo.22091632, and the focused analytic cone-walk companion is 10.5281/zenodo.22091634. Version 1 remains the original unified preprint and priority record for the results stated here.
