Doppelg\"angers: Bijections of Plane Partitions

Combinatorics 2022-03-25 v3

Abstract

We say two posets are "doppelg\"angers" if they have the same number of PP-partitions of each height kk. We give a uniform framework for bijective proofs that posets are doppelg\"angers by synthesizing KK-theoretic Schubert calculus techniques of H. Thomas and A. Yong with M. Haiman's rectification bijection and an observation of R. Proctor. Geometrically, these bijections reflect the rational equivalence of certain subvarieties of minuscule flag manifolds. As a special case, we provide the first bijective proof of a 1983 theorem of R. Proctor---that plane partitions of height kk in a rectangle are equinumerous with plane partitions of height kk in a trapezoid.
