It was conjectured by Postnikov and confirmed by Hultman, Linusson, Shareshian and Sj\\\"{o}strand that the number of regions of $\\mathcal{A}_w$ is less than or equal to the number of permutations below $w$ in the Bruhat order, with the equality holds if and only if $w$ avoids the four patterns 4231, 35142, 42513 and 351624. In this paper, we show that the number of regions of $\\mathcal{A}_w$ is greater than or equal to the number of permutations below $w$ in the weak Bruhat order, with the equality holds if and only if $w$ avoids the patterns 231 and 312.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-14T14:33:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "weak bruhat order", "inversion arrangements", "equality holds", "inversion hyperplane arrangement", "permutation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
