Pattern avoiding permutations and Brownian excursion

Authors:

Abstract
Permutations that avoid given patterns are some some the most classical objects in combinatorics with strong connections to many fields of mathematics, computer science and biology. In this paper we study the scaling limits of a random permutation avoiding a pattern of length 3 and their relations to Brownian excursion. Exploring this connection to Brownian excursion allows us to strengthen the recent results of Elizalde [13], Madras and Pehlivan [25] and Miner and Pak [29] as well as to understand many of the interesting phenomena that had previously gone unexplained.
