Bijections between oscillating tableaux and (semi)standard tableaux via growth diagrams

Combinatorics 2016-08-29 v3

Abstract

We prove that the number of oscillating tableaux of length nn with at most kk columns, starting at \emptyset and ending at the one-column shape (1m)(1^m), is equal to the number of standard Young tableaux of size~nn with mm columns of odd length, all columns of length at most 2k2k. This refines a conjecture of Burrill, which it thereby establishes. We prove as well a "Knuth-type" extension stating a similar equi-enumeration result between generalised oscillating tableaux and semistandard tableaux.
