Rational Shi tableaux and the skew length statistic

Combinatorics 2016-09-16 v2

Abstract

We define two refinements of the skew length statistic on simultaneous core partitions. The first one relies on hook lengths and is used to prove a refined version of the theorem stating that the skew length is invariant under conjugation of the core. The second one is equivalent to a generalisation of Shi tableaux to the rational level of Catalan combinatorics. These rational Shi tableaux encode dominant pp-stable elements in the affine symmetric group. We prove that the rational Shi tableau is injective, that is, each dominant pp-stable affine permutation is determined uniquely by its Shi tableau. Moreover, we provide a uniform generalisation of rational Shi tableaux to Weyl groups, and conjecture injectivity in the general case.
