Many algorithms for inserting elements into tableaux are known, starting with the Robinson-Schensted algorithm. Much of those processes can be incorporated into the general framework of Fomin's "growth diagrams". Even for single types of…

We introduce the dual affine Robinson-Schensted correspondence that gives a bijection between the extended affine symmetric group and tuples $(\bar{P},\bar{Q},\lambda,N)$, where $\bar{P}$ and $\bar{Q}$ are tabloids, $\lambda$ is a…

The celebrated Robinson-Schensted algorithm and each of its variants that have attracted substantial attention can be constructed using Fomin's "growth diagram" construction from a modular lattice that is also a weighted-differential poset.…

This paper makes a combinatorial study of the two monoids and the two types of tableaux that arise from the two possible generalizations of the Patience Sorting algorithm from permutations (or standard words) to words. For both types of…

Arc permutations, which were originally introduced in the study of triangulations and characters, have recently been shown to have interesting combinatorial properties. The first part of this paper continues their study by providing signed…

We introduce the notion of "type" of a tableau, that allows us to define new families of tableaux including both balanced and standard Young tableaux. We use these new objects to describe the set of reduced decompositions of any…

The numbers $f_\lambda$ of standard tableaux of shape $\lambda\vdash n$ satisfy 2 fundamental recursions: $f_\lambda = \sum f_{\lambda^-}$ and $(n + 1)f_\lambda=\sum f_{\lambda^+}$, where $\lambda^-$ and $\lambda^+$ run over all shapes…

We make a systematic study of a new combinatorial construction called a dual equivalence graph. We axiomatize these graphs and prove that their generating functions are symmetric and Schur positive. By constructing a graph on ribbon…

We show how the sign of a permutation can be deduced from the tableaux induced by the permutation under the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence. The result yields a simple proof of a conjecture on the squares of imbalances raised by…

The study of longest increasing subsequences (LIS) in permutations led to that of Young diagrams via Robinson-Schensted's (RS) correspondence. In a celebrated paper, Vershik and Kerov obtained a limit theorem for such diagrams and found…

Irreducible characters in the symmetric group are of special interest in combinatorics. They can be expressed either combinatorially with ribbon tableaux, or algebraically with contents. In this paper, these two expressions are related in a…

Let the sign of a standard Young tableau be the sign of the permutation you get by reading it row by row from left to right, like a book. A conjecture by Richard Stanley says that the sum of the signs of all SYTs with n squares is 2^[n/2].…

We give a direct proof of Schensted's lemma asserting that row and column insertion in a tableau commute.

We study "cominuscule tableau combinatorics" by generalizing constructions of M. Haiman, S. Fomin and M.-P. Sch\"utzenberger. In particular, we extend the dual equivalence ideas of [Haiman, 1992] to reformulate the generalized…

We attempt to explain the ubiquity of tableaux and of Pieri and Cauchy formulae for combinatorially defined families of symmetric functions. We show that such formulae are to be expected from symmetric functions arising from representations…

Permutation tableaux are combinatorial objects related with permutations and various statistics on them. They appeared in connection with total positivity in Grassmannians, and stationary probabilities in a PASEP model. In particular they…

Promotion permutations have recently been associated to each rectangular standard Young tableau by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--Swanson. Here we relate promotion permutations to the Robinson--Schensted (RS) correspondence. More…

We give bijective proofs using Fomin's growth diagrams for identities involving numbers of vacillating tableaux that arose in the representation theory of partition algebras or are inspired by such identities.

Let the sign of a skew standard Young tableau be the sign of the permutation you get by reading it row by row from left to right, like a book. We examine how the sign property is transferred by the skew Robinson-Schensted correspondence…

To each permutation $\sigma$ in $S_{n}$ we associate a triangulation of a fixed $(n+2)$-gon. We then determine the fibers of this association and show that they coincide with the sylvester classes depicted By Novelli, Hivert and Thibon. A…
