Intervals of Permutations with a Fixed Number of Descents are Shellable
The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, is a poset. We
present an order isomorphism from the poset of permutations with a fixed number
of descents to a certain poset of words with subword order. We use this
bijection to show that intervals of permutations with a fixed number of
descents are shellable, and we present a formula for the M\"obius function of
these intervals. We present an alternative proof for a result on the M\"obius
function of intervals such that has exactly one descent. We
prove that if has exactly one descent and avoids 456123 and 356124, then
the intervals have no nontrivial disconnected subintervals; we
conjecture that these intervals are shellable
Insights on the spatial configuration of collective spaces within forming dynamics: the relation between infrastructure and urban transformation in Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes
The research seeks to produce insights on the spatial configuration of collective spaces where large scale
infrastructure propels urban transformation. Focusing on the meaning, character and programmatic qualities
of urban spaces in transformation as outcomes of fluctuating processes, it deals with complex spatial forming
dynamics of urban streetscapes: the non-traditional conjugations of spaces, boundaries and territories.
These spaces foster unexpected notions of proximity, territoriality, permeability and critical boundaries,
investigated by means of specific parameters manifesting and interacting in time. This can help upgrade the
design of architecture and urban projects to innovative techno-cultural practices and improve their integration
in the urban fabric; urgent matter within the hyper-complex conditions of contemporary urban realities. The
case of Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes in Barcelona, where a car-oriented open-space based on a variety of
spatial manifestations turns into a formalized urban centrality, is used to unveil the complex convergence of
streetscapes and urban infrastructures in contemporary urban transformations
