KrewerasComplement from Permutation ​

w⁻¹c, for w below the long cycle c = (1 2 ... n) in absolute order.

Permutation → Permutation

Only defined on the non-crossing permutations (the embedding of NC(n) in S_n by absolute order beneath c) — everywhere else this declines rather than answering for a word it was never defined on. K∘K is conjugation by c, and K is a bijection of NC(n) onto itself.

Called as CombinatorialMap(x, "KrewerasComplement"). The head's page has its examples.

Kreweras complement

BijectionGraded mapas FindStat records them, checked by FindStat's contributors.

Sends the permutation π∈Sn\pi \in \mathfrak{S}_n to the permutation π−1c\pi^{-1}c where c=(1,…,n)c = (1,\ldots,n) is the long cycle.
