The alternating sign matrices-descending plane partitions (ASM-DPP) bijection problem is one of the most intriguing open problems in bijective combinatorics, which is also relevant to integrable combinatorics. The notion of a signed set and…

A tournament is an oriented complete graph. The problem of ranking tournaments was firstly investigated by P. Erd\H{o}s and J. W. Moon. By probabilistic methods, the existence of "unrankable" tournaments was proved. On the other hand, they…

A sub-problem of the open problem of finding an explicit bijection between alternating sign matrices and totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions consists in finding an explicit bijection between so-called $(n,k)$ Gog…

We consider bicolored maps, i.e. graphs which are drawn on surfaces, and construct a bijection between (i) oriented maps with arbitary face structure, and (ii) (weighted) non-oriented maps with exactly one face. Above, each non-oriented map…

For each positive integer $n$, we construct a bijection between the odd partitions and the distinct partitions of $n$ which extends Bressoud's bijection between the odd-and-distinct partitions of $n$ and the splitting partitions of $n$. We…

We construct an explicit bijection between bipartite pointed maps of an arbitrary surface $\mathbb{S}$, and specific unicellular blossoming maps of the same surface. Our bijection gives access to the degrees of all the faces, and distances…

We introduce a new combinatorial object called tower diagrams and prove fundamental properties of these objects. We also introduce an algorithm that allows us to slide words to tower diagrams. We show that the algorithm is well-defined only…

This paper is the second in a series of planned papers which provide first bijective proofs of alternating sign matrix results. Based on the main result from the first paper, we construct a bijective proof of the enumeration formula for…

The active bijection forms a package of results studied by the authors in a series of papers in oriented matroids. The present paper is intended to state the main results in the particular case, and more widespread language, of graphs. We…

For a subclass of matchings, set partitions, and permutations, we describe a direct bijection involving only arc annotated diagrams that not only interchanges maximum nesting and crossing numbers, but also all refinements of crossing and…

In this note a bijection is constructed between the set of partitions of n simultaneously s-regular and t-distinct, and those simultaneously t-regular and s-distinct. Some implications of the map are discussed. As a generalized version of…

In an earlier paper the first two authors have shown that self-complementary graphs can always be oriented in such a way that the union of the oriented version and its isomorphically oriented complement gives a transitive tournament. We…

Motivated by his work on the classification of countable homogeneous oriented graphs, Cherlin asked about the typical structure of oriented graphs (i) without a transitive triangle, or (ii) without an oriented triangle. We give an answer to…

The orientation completion problem for a class of oriented graphs asks whether a given partially oriented graph can be completed to an oriented graph in the class by orienting the unoriented edges of the partially oriented graph.…

In this paper we give a bijective proof for a relation between uni- bi- and tricellular maps of certain topological genus. While this relation can formally be obtained using Matrix-theory as a result of the Schwinger-Dyson equation, we here…

The orientation completion problem for a fixed class of oriented graphs asks whether a given partially oriented graph can be completed to an oriented graph in the class. Orientation completion problems have been studied recently for several…

Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We put ASMs into a larger context by studying the order ideals of subposets of a…

Ranking the participants of a tournament has applications in voting, paired comparisons analysis, sports and other domains. In this paper we introduce bipartite tournaments, which model situations in which two different kinds of entity…

Recently, Jel\'inek conjectured that there exists a bijection between certain restricted permutations and Fishburn matrices such that the bijection verifies the equidistribution of several statistics. The main objective of this paper is to…

A graph is called odd if there is an orientation of its edges and an automorphism that reverses the sense of an odd number of its edges, and even otherwise. Pontus von Br\"omssen (n\'e Andersson) showed that the existence of such an…
