Combinatorial properties of permutation tableaux

Paper in proceeding, 2008

We give another construction of a permutation tableau from its corresponding permutation and construct a permutation-preserving bijection between 1-hinge and 0-hinge tableaux. We also consider certain alignment and crossing statistics on permutation tableaux that have previously been shown to be equidistributed by mapping them to patterns in related permutations. We give two direct maps on tableaux that prove the equidistribution of those statistics by exchanging some statistics and preserving the rest. Finally, we enumerate some sets of permutations that are restricted both by pattern avoidance and by certain parameters of their associated permutation tableaux.
