Enumerating Permutations Avoiding Split Patterns 3|12 and 23|1

Abstract: In this paper, we give a formula for the number of permutations that avoid the split patterns $3|12$ and $23|1$ with respect to a position $r$. Such permutations count the number of Schubert varieties for which the projection map from the flag variety to a Grassmannian induces a fiber bundle structure. We also study the corresponding bivariate generating function and show how it is related to modified Bessel functions.
