Large Hypercube Intervals in Bruhat Order

partialconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as partial. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

How large can a Bruhat interval in $S_n$ that is a poset hypercube be? Using a permutation pattern suggested by AlphaEvolve, the authors exhibit hypercube intervals of dimension $O(n \log n)$ for $n$ a power of 2, matching the largest possible dimension up to a constant - in the problem circle around the combinatorial invariance conjecture for Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

What AI did

AlphaEvolve

AlphaEvolve, searching evolutionarily rather than exhaustively, "produced a pattern which performed well for the n tested, and which we show works well for general n" - the agent found the construction, the humans proved it works in general.
