Abstract
A method of Proctor [European J. Combin. 5 (1984), no. 4, 331-350] realizes the set of arbitrary plane partitions in a box and the set of symmetric plane partitions as bases of linear representations of Lie groups. We extend this method by realizing transposition and complementation of plane partitions as natural linear transformations of the representations, thereby enumerating symmetric plane partitions, self-complementary plane partitions, and transpose-complement plane partitions in a new way.
