We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…
We derive two multivariate generating functions for three-dimensional Young diagrams (also called plane partitions). The variables correspond to a colouring of the boxes according to a finite Abelian subgroup G of SO(3). We use the vertex…
We introduce the notion of pattern in the context of lattice paths, and investigate it in the specific case of Dyck paths. Similarly to the case of permutations, the pattern-containment relation defines a poset structure on the set of all…
We prove exact product formulas for the tiling generating functions of various halved hexagons and quartered hexagons with defects on boundary. Our results generalize the previous work of the first author and the work of Ciucu.
We study generating functions of ordinary and plane partitions coloured by the action of a finite subgroup of the corresponding special linear group. After reviewing known results for the case of ordinary partitions, we formulate a…
There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the…
We use a Hamiltonian (transition matrix) description of height-restricted Dyck paths on the plane in which generating functions for the paths arise as matrix elements of the propagator to evaluate the length and area generating function for…
We study the tiling of a two-dimensional region of the plane by $K$-cell one-dimensional tiles, or $K$-mers. Unlike previous studies, which typically allowed for one single value of $K$ or sometimes a small assortment of fixed values, here…
$k$-Dyck paths differ from ordinary Dyck paths by using an up-step of length $k$. We analyze at which level the path is after the $s$-th up-step and before the $(s+1)$st up-step. In honour of Rainer Kemp who studied a related concept 40…
We study the number of tilings of skew Young diagrams by ribbon tiles shaped like Dyck paths, in which the tiles are "vertically decreasing". We use these quantities to compute pairing probabilities in the double-dimer model: Given a planar…
In a recent preprint, Lai and Rohatgi compute the generating functions of lozenge tilings of "quartered hexagons with dents" by applying the method of "graphical condensation". The purpose of this note is to exhibit how (a generalization…
We first prove that the set of domino tilings of a fixed finite figure is a distributive lattice, even in the case when the figure has holes. We then give a geometrical interpretation of the order given by this lattice, using (not…
Closed-form generating functions for counting one-face rooted hypermaps with a known number of darts by number of vertices and edges is found, using matrix integral expressions relating to the reduced density operator of a bipartite quantum…
In this paper, we count acyclic and strongly connected uniform directed labeled hypergraphs. For these combinatorial structures, we introduce a specific generating function allowing us to recover and generalize some results on the number of…
Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…
We propose generating functions which encode the degeneracies and wall-crossing phenomena of $\mathcal{N}=2$ BPS structures. The generating functions have a representation-theoretic origin and are the analogs of the 1/4-BPS dyon counting…
We introduce and study a new notion of patterns in Stirling and $k$-Stirling permutations, which we call block patterns. We prove a general result which allows us to compute generating functions for the occurrences of various block patterns…
We initiate the study of the enumerative combinatorics of the intervals in the Dyck pattern poset. More specifically, we find some closed formulas to express the size of some specific intervals, as well as the number of their covering…
The broadcasting models on a d-ary tree T arise in many contexts such as biology, information theory, statistical physics and computer science. We consider the k-colouring model, i.e. the root of T is assigned an arbitrary colour and,…
We introduce the concept of deck transformations within the category of developable complexes of groups. Drawing inspiration from classical covering theory for topological spaces, we propose an alternative construction of the universal…
