A symmetry theorem on a modified jeu de taquin

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

For their bijective proof of the hook-length formula for the number of standard tableaux of a fixed shape Novelli, Pak and Stoyanovskii define a modified jeu de taquin which transforms an arbitrary filling of the Ferrers diagram with 1,2,...,n1,2,...,n (tabloid) into a standard tableau. Their definition relies on a total order of the cells in the Ferrers diagram induced by a special standard tableau, however, this definition also makes sense for the total order induced by any other standard tableau. Given two standard tableaux P,QP,Q of the same shape we show that the number of tabloids which result in PP if we perform modified jeu de taquin with respect to the total order induced by QQ is equal to the number of tabloids which result in QQ if we perform modified jeu de taquin with respect to PP. This symmetry theorem extends to skew shapes and shifted skew shapes.
