A generalization of RSK to $d$-complete posets

Combinatorics 2025-08-22 v2

Abstract

The hook length formula for dd-complete posets expresses the number of linear extensions of a dd-complete poset PP in terms of hooks of PP. It generalizes the usual hook length formula for standard Young tableaux, as well as hook length formulas for shifted Young tableaux and trees. We give a new proof of the hook length formula for dd-complete posets which is elementary and purely combinatorial. Our approach is to define a generalization of the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth bijection for dd-complete posets, which may be of independent interest.
