This paper contains a description of a connection between the matching arrangement and the matching polyhedron. A bijection between regions of the matching arragement and LP-orientations of the matching polyhedron is constructed. This…
In 1996, Stanley extended the classical Catalan arrangement and semiorder arrangement, which are called the Catalan-type arrangement $\mathcal{C}_{n,A}$ and the semiorder-type arrangement $\mathcal{C}_{n,A}^*$ in this paper. By establishing…
In the study of the algebra $\mathrm{NCSym}$ of symmetric functions in noncommutative variables, Bergeron and Zabrocki found a free generating set consisting of power sum symmetric functions indexed by atomic partitions. On the other hand,…
In this paper we find a class of new degenerate central configurations and bifurcations in the Newtonian $n$-body problem. In particular we analyze the Rosette central configurations, namely a coplanar configuration where $n$ particles of…
We explore partitions that lie in the intersection of several sets of classical interest: partitions with parts indivisible by $m$, appearing fewer than $m$ times, or differing by less than $m$. We find results on their behavior and…
In this paper, we construct bijections between Dyck paths, noncrossing partitions, and 231-avoiding permutations, which send the area statistic on Dyck paths to the inversion number on noncrossing partitions and on 231-avoiding…
In 1983, Lusztig defined a map $\sigma$ from affine permutations of $n$ to partitions of $n$. He conjectured that for any partition $\lambda$ of $n$, $\sigma^{-1}(\lambda)$ is a two-sided cell. Shi, in 1986, proved part of this conjecture.…
Hyperplanes of the form x_j = x_i + c are called affinographic. For an affinographic hyperplane arrangement in R^n, such as the Shi arrangement, we study the function f(M) that counts integral points in [1,M]^n that do not lie in any…
We develop a geometric approach to the study of $(s,ms-1)$-core and $(s,ms+1)$-core partitions through the associated $ms$-abaci. This perspective yields new proofs for results of H. Xiong and A. Straub (originally proposed by T.…
Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group, and let $Y$ be a Young subgroup of $S_n$. Let $\Pi_n$ be the complex of partitions of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$. Our main result is a $Y$-equivariant decomposition of $\Pi_n$. As an application, we obtain new…
The enumeration of maps and the study of uniform random maps have been classical topics of combinatorics and statistical physics ever since the seminal work of Tutte in the sixties. Following the bijective approach initiated by Cori and…
A partition of degree $n$ is a decomposition $n=i_1+i_2+\dots+i_q$, where ${i_1,i_2,\dots,i_q}$ are positive integers called the parts of the partition. Let $\lambda>0$ be an integer. The partition is said to be a $\lambda$--partition if…
We unify and extend previous bijections on plane quadrangulations to bipartite and quasibipartite plane maps. Starting from a bipartite plane map with a distinguished edge and two distinguished corners (in the same face or in two different…
The study of pattern avoidance in permutations, and specifically in flattened partitions is an active area of current research. In this paper, we count the number of distinct flattened partitions over [n] avoiding a single pattern, as well…
In this paper, we give a purely bijective proof that two different partition classes that are both combinatorial interpretations of the partition function $p_\nu(n)$, a partition function related to the third order mock theta function…
The mapping $\chi_n$ from $\F_{2}^{n}$ to itself defined by $y=\chi_n(x)$ with $y_i=x_i+x_{i+2}(1+x_{i+1})$, where the indices are computed modulo $n$, has been widely studied for its applications in lightweight cryptography. However,…
The Ward numbers $W(n,k)$ combinatorially enumerate set partitions with block sizes $\geq 2$ and phylogenetic trees (total partition trees). We prove that $W(n,k)$ also counts \emph{increasing Schr\"oder trees} by verifying they satisfy…
In this paper we show a a proof by explicit bijections of the famous Kirkman-Cayley formula for the number of dissections of a convex polygon. Our starting point is the bijective correspondence between the set of nested sets made by \(k\)…
Bargraphs are a special class of convex polyominoes. They can be identified with lattice paths with unit steps north, east, and south that start at the origin, end on the $x$-axis, and stay strictly above the $x$-axis everywhere except at…
