Based on Thomas and Yong's K-theoretic jeu de taquin algorithm, we prove a uniform Littlewood-Richardson rule for the K-theoretic Schubert structure constants of all minuscule homogeneous spaces. Our formula is new in all types. For the…

Young tableaux are fundamental objects in algebraic combinatorics and representation theory, with operations such as promotion and jeu de taquin playing a central role in their structure and applications. While these operations are well…

In this paper, we study tree--like tableaux, combinatorial objects which exhibit a natural tree structure and are connected to the partially asymmetric simple exclusion process (PASEP). There was a conjecture made on the total number of…

We introduce new combinatorial objects called the shifted domino tableaux. We prove that these objects are in bijection with pairs of shifted Young tableaux. This bijection shows that shifted domino tableaux can be seen as elements of the…

We provide direct proofs of product and coproduct formulae for Schur functions where the coefficients (Littlewood--Richardson coefficients) are defined as counting puzzles. The product formula includes a second alphabet for the Schur…

The study of knot mosaics is based upon representing knot diagrams using a set of tiles on a square grid. This branch of knot theory has many unanswered questions, especially regarding the efficiency with which we draw knots as mosaics.…

Tree-like tableaux are objects in bijection with alternative or permutation tableaux. They have been the subject of a fruitful combinatorial study for the past few years. In the present work, we define and study a new subclass of tree-like…

Within this research, two combinatorial bijections using Young diagrams were studied. The first is a special case of a bijective correspondence between two classes of combinatorial objects. Its proof, based on Young diagrams, establishes…

We define P-strict labelings for a finite poset P as a generalization of semistandard Young tableaux and show that promotion on these objects is in equivariant bijection with a toggle action on B-bounded Q-partitions of an associated poset…

Rectangular standard Young tableaux with 2 or 3 rows are in bijection with $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-webs and $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_3)$-webs respectively. When $W$ is a web with a reflection symmetry, the corresponding tableau $T_W$ has a…

Using the ring space of sheared Witt vectors, we define certain ring stacks. We suggest several models for the ring stacks. Motivation: there is a conjectural description of the stack of n-truncated Barsotti-Tate groups and its Shimurian…

A family of Poisson structures, parametrised by an arbitrary odd periodic function $\phi$, is defined on the space $\cW$ of twisted polygons in $\RR^\nu$. Poisson reductions with respect to two Poisson group actions on $\cW$ are described.…

Sch\"utzenberger's jeu de taquin is an algorithm on the structure of tableaux, which transforms a skew tableau into a Young one by local transformation rules on the columns of the tableaux. This algorithm defines an equivalence relation on…

We define a set of operations called crystal operations on matrices with entries either in {0,1} or in N. There are horizontal and vertical crystal operations, giving rise to two commuting structures of a crystal graph on these matrices.…

We study birational morphisms between smooth projective surfaces that respect a given Poisson structure, with particular attention to induced birational maps between the (Poisson) moduli spaces of sheaves on those surfaces. In particular,…

We extend the theory of Littlewood-Richardson fillings (defined over the non-negative integers) to include diagrams with rows and boxes of real-valued length. We realize such fillings as invariants of matrix pairs over rings with a…
