We survey some recent works on standard Young tableaux of bounded height. We focus on consequences resulting from numerous bijections to lattice walks in Weyl chambers.

We provide a new lower bound on the number of $(\leq k)$-edges of a set of $n$ points in the plane in general position. We show that for $0 \leq k \leq\lfloor\frac{n-2}{2}\rfloor$ the number of $(\leq k)$-edges is at least $$ E_k(S) \geq…

Given two vectors $u$ and $v$, their outer sum is given by the matrix $A$ with entries $A_{ij} = u_{i} + v_{j}$. If the entries of $u$ and $v$ are increasing and sufficiently generic, the total ordering of the entries of the matrix is a…

The enumeration of standard Young tableaux (SYTs) of shape {\lambda} can be easily computed by the hook-length formula. In 1981, Amitai Regev proved that the number of SYTs having at most three rows with n entries equals the nth Motzkin…

We introduce notions of linear reduction and linear equivalence of bijections for the purposes of study bijections between Young tableaux. Originating in Theoretical Computer Science, these notions allow us to give a unified view of a…

A k-queue layout is a special type of a linear layout, in which the linear order avoids (k+1)-rainbows, i.e., k+1 independent edges that pairwise form a nested pair. The optimization goal is to determine the queue number of a graph, i.e.,…

The random polytope $K_n$, defined as the convex hull of $n$ points chosen uniformly at random on the boundary of a smooth convex body, is considered. Proofs for lower and upper variance bounds, strong laws of large numbers and central…

Tree-child networks are an important class of phylogenetic network used to model reticulate evolutionary processes. These networks have attracted increasing attention from researchers with interests in both combinatorics and algorithms. A…

We give a bijective proof that the Betti numbers of a minimal free resolution of the Stanley-Reisner ring of a cycle graph (viewed as a one-dimensional simplicial complex) are given by the number of standard Young tableaux of a given shape.

Let $e_{n}^k$ be the entries in the classical Euler's difference table. We consider the array $d_{n}^{k}=e_n^k/k!$ for $0\leq k \leq n$, where $d_n^k$ can be interpreted as the number of k-fixed-points-permutations of [n]. We show that the…

It is known that every proper minor-closed class of graphs has bounded stack-number (a.k.a. book thickness and page number). While this includes notable graph families such as planar graphs and graphs of bounded genus, many other graph…

We obtain scaling and local limit results for large random Young tableaux of fixed shape $\lambda^0$ via the asymptotic analysis of a determinantal point process due to Gorin and Rahman (2019). More precisely, we prove: (1) an explicit…

We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…

We give a new characterization of maximal repetitions (or runs) in strings based on Lyndon words. The characterization leads to a proof of what was known as the "runs" conjecture (Kolpakov \& Kucherov (FOCS '99)), which states that the…

We prove a conjecture of Okada giving an exact formula for a certain statistic for hook-lengths of partitions: \frac{1}{n!} \sum_{\lambda \vdash n} f_{\lambda}^2 \sum_{u \in \lambda} \prod_{i=1}^{r}(h_u^2 - i^2) = \frac{1}{2(r+1)^2}…

We establish a combinatorial connection between the sequence $(i_{n,k})$ counting the involutions on $n$ letters with $k$ descents and the sequence $(a_{n,k})$ enumerating the semistandard Young tableaux on $n$ cells with $k$ symbols. This…

The celebrated hook-length formula gives a product formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of a straight shape. In 2014, Naruse announced a more general formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shapes as a…

We consider the problem of testing, for a given set of planar regions $\cal R$ and an integer $k$, whether there exists a convex shape whose boundary intersects at least $k$ regions of $\cal R$. We provide a polynomial time algorithm for…

For a permutationally invariant unconditional convex body K in R^n we define a finite sequence (K_j), j = 1, ..., n of projections of the body K to the space spanned by first j vectors of the standard basis of R^n. We prove that the…

We study the impact of forbidding short cycles to the edge density of $k$-planar graphs; a $k$-planar graph is one that can be drawn in the plane with at most $k$ crossings per edge. Specifically, we consider three settings, according to…
