We study several of these objects and their $q$-analogues in the case of permutations $w$ that are not necessarily Grassmannian. We give two main results: first, we show that certain acyclic orientations, rook placements avoiding a diagram of $w$, and fillings of a diagram of $w$ are equinumerous for all permutations $w$. Second, we give a $q$-analogue of a result of Hultman-Linusson-Shareshian-Sj\\\"ostrand by showing that under a certain pattern condition the Poincar\\'e polynomial for the Bruhat interval of $w$ essentially counts invertible matrices avoiding a diagram of $w$ over a finite field. In addition to our main results, we include at the end a number of open questions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-07-10T18:28:39.000Z", "comment": "v2: 29 pages, 11 figures.
