A Type B Analogue to Ribbon Tableaux

Combinatorics 2025-04-08 v2

Abstract

We introduce a shifted analogue of the ribbon tableaux defined by James and Kerber. For any positive integer kk, we give a bijection between the kk-ribbon fillings of a shifted shape and regular fillings of a k/2\lfloor k/2\rfloor-tuple of shapes called its kk-quotient. We also define the corresponding generating functions, and prove that they are symmetric, Schur positive and Schur QQ-positive.
