Promotion and rowmotion are intriguing actions in dynamical algebraic combinatorics which have inspired much work in recent years. In this paper, we study $P$-strict labelings of a finite, graded poset $P$ of rank $n$ and labels at most…

We generalize the notion of the toggle group, as defined in [P. Cameron-D. Fon-der-Flaass '95] and further explored in [J. Striker-N. Williams '12], from the set of order ideals of a poset to any family of subsets of a finite set. We prove…

Sch\"{u}tzenberger's promotion operator is an extensively-studied bijection that permutes the linear extensions of a finite poset. We introduce a natural extension $\partial$ of this operator that acts on all labelings of a poset. We prove…

Denote by $V$ the poset consisting of the elements $\{A,B,C\}$ with cover relations $\{A\lessdot B, A\lessdot C\}$. We show that $P$-strict promotion, as defined by Bernstein, Striker, and Vorland, on $P$-strict labelings of $V\times…

We use the octahedron recurrence to give a simplified statement and proof of a formula for iterated birational rowmotion on a product of two chains, first described by Musiker and Roby. Using this, we show that weights of certain chains in…

We relate Reiner, Tenner, and Yong's coincidental down-degree expectations (CDE) property of posets to the minuscule doppelg\"{a}nger pairs studied by Hamaker, Patrias, Pechenik, and Williams. Via this relation, we put forward a series of…

Inspired by recent work on refraction billiards in dynamics, we introduce a notion of refraction for combinatorial billiards. This allows us to define a generalization of toric promotion that we call toric promotion with reflections and…

The rowmotion operator acting on the set of order ideals of a finite poset has been the focus of a significant amount of recent research. One of the major goals has been to exhibit homomesies: statistics that have the same average along…

We investigate analogues of alternating sign matrices, called partial alternating sign matrices. We prove bijections between these matrices and several other combinatorial objects. We use an analogue of Wieland's gyration on fully-packed…

We introduce toric promotion as a cyclic analogue of Sch\"utzenberger's promotion operator. Toric promotion acts on the set of labelings of a graph $G$. We discuss connections between toric promotion and previously-studied notions such as…

We survey all known examples of finite posets whose order polynomials have product formulas, and we propose the heuristic that these are the same posets with good dynamical behavior. Here the dynamics in question are the actions of…

We study four bijections, which are promotion, evacuation, rowmotion, and rowvacuation, on generalized Dyck paths in rational Catalan combinatorics. We define the maps on generalized Dyck paths, which have their origins in maps on Dyck…

Given a linear extension $\sigma$ of a finite poset $R$, we consider the permutation matrix indexing the Schubert cell containing the Cartan matrix of $R$ with respect to $\sigma$. This yields a bijection $\mathrm{Ech}_\sigma\colon R\to R$…

We introduce the notion of orbitmesy, which is related to homomesy, a central phenomenon in dynamical algebraic combinatorics. An orbit $O$ is said to be orbitmesic with respect to a statistic if the orbit's average statistic value is equal…

Birational toggling on Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns appeared first in the study of geometric crystals and geometric Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence. Based on these birational toggle relations, Einstein and Propp introduced a discrete…

In this paper, in addition to the earlier introduced involutive divisions, we consider a new class of divisions induced by admissible monomial orderings. We prove that these divisions are noetherian and constructive. Thereby each of them…
