Abstract

Fix two finite sets I = { 1, 2, …, n}, J = { 1, 2, …, m} and consider a rectangular table with n columns and m rows numbered by the elements of I and J respectively in such a way that indices I increase horizontally from left to right, and indices j increase vertically from bottom to top.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Or just an effective word if a is clear from the context or inessential to the discussion.

  2. 2.

    Note that if i = j and both L i, D i act effectively, then L iD i and D iL i move one ball from the (i, i) cell to the (i − 1, i − 1) cell in two different ways.

  3. 3.

    Or dense downward.

  4. 4.

    We follow Sect. 3.4.2 on p. 63 and think of a Young diagram as an infinite sequence of nonincreasing nonnegative integers tending to zero.

  5. 5.

    Recall that this means that every element of I appears in the tableau exactly once; see Sect. 4.2.3 on p. 81.

  6. 6.

    That is, σ ∈ S n satisfying σ 2 = 1.

  8. 8.

    In combinatorics, the central symmetry aa is called the Schützenberger involution; see Problem 4.10 on p. 98.

  9. 9.

  10. 10.

    See Sect. 13.2 of Algebra I.

  11. 11.

    See Sect. 13.1 of Algebra I.

  12. 12.

    Since every Young diagram λ = (λ 1, λ 2, …, λ m) can be viewed as a vector in \(\mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant 0}^{m}\), the domination relation \(\lambda ' \trianglerighteq \lambda ''\) is well defined.

  13. 13.

    Recall that the weight of a Young diagram λ is the total number of cells in λ.

  14. 14.

    See Sect. 3.3 on p. 61.

  15. 15.

    See Sect. 3.2 on p. 60.

  16. 16.

    See Sect. 4.2.4 on p. 82.

  17. 17.

    See Sect. 3.2 on p. 60.

  18. 18.

    See Sect. 3.3 on p. 61.

  19. 19.

    See formula (4.23) and formula (4.12) on p. 89.

  20. 20.

    See Sect. 10.3.1 of Algebra I.

  21. 21.

    Compare with formulas (3.17)–(3.18) from Proposition 3.5 on p. 64.

  22. 22.

    See formula (4.16) on p. 91.

  23. 23.

    Recall that the first tableau is the row scan of the D-condensation of the graph of g: I ≃ J, whereas the second is the column scan of the L-condensation of the same graph.

  24. 24.

    That is, a map commuting with all the vertical operations D j, U j.

  25. 25.

    That is, λμ and for every η, \(\lambda \trianglerighteq \eta \trianglerighteq \mu\) forces either λ = η or η = μ.

  26. 26.

    Formally, \(\gamma _{i} ={\bigl (\lambda _{i} - i + 1, 1^{\lambda _{i}^{t}-i}\bigr )}\) for every i = 1, 2,  , k.

  27. 27.

    That is, the Young diagram encoding the DL-condensation of the array; see Sect. 4.2.2 on p. 80.

  28. 28.

    See Sect. 1.4 of Algebra I.

  29. 29.

    Note that this forces the shape of P(a) to be a Young diagram, which is completely nonobvious from the definition of a poset’s shape.
