The Littlewood-Richardson rule, and related combinatorics

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

An introduction is given to the Littlewood-Richardson rule, and various combinatorial constructions related to it. We present a proof based on tableau switching, dual equivalence, and coplactic operations. We conclude with a section relating these fairly modern techniques to earlier work on the Littlewood-Richardson rule.
