Abstract: We introduce a lifting of West's stack-sorting map s to partition diagrams, which are combinatorial objects indexing bases of partition algebras. Our lifting mathscrS of s is such that mathscrS behaves in the same way as s when restricted to diagram basis elements in the order-n symmetric group algebra as a diagram subalgebra of the partition algebra mathscrPnxi. We then introduce a lifting of the notion of 1-stack-sortability, using our lifting of s. By direct analogy with Knuth's famous result that a permutation is 1-stack-sortable if and only if it avoids the pattern 231, we prove a related pattern-avoidance property for partition diagrams, as opposed to permutations, according to what we refer to as stretch-stack-sortability.
