Abstract

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system of type AA, so that WW can be identified with the symmetric group Sym(n)\mathrm{Sym}(n) for some positive integer nn and SS with the set of simple transpositions {(i,i+1)1in1}\{\,(i,i+1)\mid 1\leqslant i\leqslant n-1\,\}. Let L\leqslant_{\mathsf L} denote the left weak order on WW, and for each JSJ\subseteq S let wJw_J be the longest element of the subgroup WJW_J generated by JJ. We show that the basic skew diagrams with nn boxes are in bijective correspondence with the pairs (w,J)(w,J) such that the set {xWwJLxLwwJ}\{\,x\in W\mid w_J\leqslant_{\mathsf L} x\leqslant_{\mathsf L} ww_J\,\} is a nonempty union of Kazhdan-Lusztig left cells. These are also the pairs (w,J)(w,J) such that I(w)={vWvLw}\mathscr{I}(w)=\{\,v\in W\mid v\leqslant_{\mathsf L} w\,\} is a W ⁣W\!-graph ideal with respect to JJ. Moreover, for each such pair the elements of I(w)\mathscr{I}(w) are in bijective correspondence with the standard tableaux associated with the corresponding skew diagram.
