Abstract

Symmetric joint distribution between crossings and nestings was established in several combinatorial objects. Recently, Marberg extended Chen and Guo's result on coloured matchings to coloured set partitions following a multi-dimensional generalization of the bijection and enumerative methods from Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley, and Yan. We complete the study for arc-coloured permutations by establishing symmetric joint distribution for crossings and nestings and by showing that the ordinary generating functions for $j$-noncrossing, $k$-nonnesting, $r$-coloured permutations according to size $n$ are rational functions. Finally, we automate the generation of these rational functions and analyse the first $70$ series.
