title:Avoiding maximal parabolic subgroups of Sk
keywords:permutations, forbidden patterns, parabolic subgroups, Laguerre polynomials, rook polynomials
abstract:We find an explicit expression for the generating function of the number of permutations in Sn avoiding a subgroup of Sk generated by all but one simple transpositions. The generating function turns out to be rational, and its denominator is a rook polynomial for a rectangular board.
