Evacuation of rectangular standard Young tableaux corresponds to reflection of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ webs
Abstract
Web graphs form a family of planar directed graphs with boundary that can be used to model quantum -invariant vectors. Standard Young tableaux on an rectangle naturally index a basis for web graphs. We prove that evacuation of the tableau corresponds to reflection of the associated web graph up to equivalence under a specific set of edge-flip relations. This extends a result of Patrias and Pechenik for the cases and mirrors analogous results about rotation of web graphs corresponding to promotion of tableau by Peterson-Pylyavskyy-Rhoades for and Gaetz-Pechenik-Pfannerer-Striker-Swanson for . We use an intermediate object called a multicolored noncrossing matching, which is closely related to the notion of strandings recently introduced by Russell and the fourth author.
