Using lattice path counting arguments, we reproduce a well known formula for the number of standard Young tableaux. We also produce an interesting new formula for tableaux of height $\leq 3$ using the Fourier methods of Ault and Kicey.
By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a finite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on…
We define a new partial order on $SYT_n$, the set of all standard Young tableaux with $n$ cells, by combining the chain order with the notion of horizontal strips. We prove various desirable properties of this new order.
The uniform distribution on matrices with specified row and column sums is often a natural choice of null model when testing for structure in two-way tables (binary or nonnegative integer). Due to the difficulty of sampling from this…
Young tableaux are classical combinatorial objects playing recurring and varied roles in representation theory, algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. This article is a short exposition on Young tableaux, written for the "WHAT IS...?"…
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 number of standard Young tableaux of a fixed shape is famously given by the hook-length formula due to Frame, Robinson and Thrall. A bijective proof of Novelli, Pak and Stoyanovskii relies on a sorting algorithm akin to jeu-de-taquin…
We consider a new kind of straight and shifted plane partitions/Young tableaux --- ones whose diagrams are no longer of partition shape, but rather Young diagrams with boxes erased from their upper right ends. We find formulas for the…
Chess tableaux are a special kind of standard Young tableaux where, in the chessboard coloring of the Young diagram, even numbers always appear in white cells and odd numbers in black cells. If, for $\lambda$ a partition of $n$,…
We propose a presentation of classical propositional tableaux elaborated by application of methods that are noteworthy in program design, namely program derivation with separation of concerns. We start by deriving from a straightforward…
We provide a novel tool which may be used to construct new examples of positive maps in matrix algebras (or, equivalently, entanglement witnesses). It turns out that this can be used to prove positivity of several well known maps (such as…
The number of Young Tableaux whose shape is a k by n rectangle is famously (nk)! 0! ... (k-1)!/((n+k-1)!(n+k-2)!... n!) implying that for each specific k, that sequence satisfies a linear recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients of…
We extend work of McKay, Morse, and Wilf by giving exact formulas and asymptotic formulas for the number of skew Young tableaux T in two situations: (1) the "inside shape" and total number of cells of T are fixed, and (2) the inside shape…
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…
In this paper, we present our ongoing work and initial results on the formal specification and verification of MiniMaple (a substantial subset of Maple with slight extensions) programs. The main goal of our work is to find behavioral errors…
The study of representations of affine Hecke algebras has led to a new notion of shapes and standard Young tableaux which works for the root system of any finite Coxeter group. This paper is completely independent of affine Hecke algebra…
Let T^* be a standard Young tableau of k cells. We show that the probability that a Young tableau of n cells contains T^* as a subtableau is, in the limit n -> \infty, equal to \nu(\pi(T^*))/k!, where \pi(T^*) is the shape (= Ferrers…
Recent empirical work has shown that human children are adept at learning and reasoning with probabilities. Here, we model a recent experiment investigating the development of school-age children's non-symbolic probability reasoning ability…
Sometimes we obtain attractive results when associating facts to simple elements. The goal of this work is to introduce a possible alternative in the study of the dynamics of rational maps.
Symmetry plays a central role in accelerating symbolic computation involving polynomials. This chapter surveys recent developments and foundational methods that leverage the inherent symmetries of polynomial systems to reduce complexity,…
