On the $q$-Enumeration of Barely Set-Valued Tableaux and Plane Partitions

Abstract

Barely set-valued tableaux are a variant of Young tableaux in which one box contains two numbers as its entry. It has recently been discovered that there are product formulas enumerating certain classes of barely set-valued tableaux. We give some qq-analogs of these product formulas by introducing a version of major index for these tableaux. We also give product formulas and qq-analogs for barely set-valued plane partitions. Many of the results are stated in the generality of PP-partitions that then specialize to particularly nice formulas for rectangles and minuscule posets. The proofs use several probability distributions on the set of order ideals of a poset, depending on the real parameter q>0q>0, which we think could be of independent interest.
