Recent work has generalized these results to $S_n\\wr C_c$, the objects of which can be viewed as \"colored permutations\". Another body of research that has grown from the study of pattern avoidance in permutations is pattern avoidance in $\\Pi_n$, the set of set partitions of $[n]$. Pattern avoidance in set partitions is a generalization of the well-studied notion of noncrossing partitions. Motivated by recent results in pattern avoidance in $S_n \\wr C_c$ we provide a catalog of initial results for pattern avoidance in colored partitions, $\\Pi_n \\wr C_c$. We note that colored set partitions are not a completely new concept. \\emph{Signed} (2-colored) set partitions appear in the work of Bj\\\"{o}rner and Wachs involving the homology of partition lattices. However, we seek to study these objects in a new enumerative context.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2011-08-12T15:54:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A18" ], "keywords": [ "pattern avoidance", "avoiding colored partitions", "set partitions appear", "schubert varieties", "initial results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.0239G" } } }
