A bijection between (bounded) dominant Shi regions and core partitions

چکیده
It is well-known that Catalan numbers Cn = 1 n+1 ( 2n n ) count the number of dominant regions in the Shi arrangement of type A, and that they also count partitions which are both n-cores as well as (n + 1)-cores. These concepts have natural extensions, which we call here the m-Catalan numbers and m-Shi arrangement. In this paper, we construct a bijection between dominant regions of the m-Shi arrangement and partitions which are both n-cores as well as (mn+ 1)-cores. We also modify our construction to produce a bijection between bounded dominant regions of them-Shi arrangement and partitions which are both n-cores as well as (mn − 1)-cores. The bijections are natural in the sense that they commute with the action of the affine symmetric group. Résumé. Il est bien connu que les nombres de Catalan Cn = 1 n+1 ( 2n n ) comptent non seulement le nombre de régions dominantes dans le Shi arrangement de type A mais aussi les partitions qui sont à la fois n-coeur et (n + 1)-coeur. Ces concepts ont des extensions naturelles, que nous appelons ici les nombres m-Catalan et le m-Shi arrangement. Dans cet article, nous construisons une bijection entre régions dominantes du m-Shi arrangement et les partitions qui sont à la fois n-coeur et (nm+ 1)-coeur. Nous modifions également notre construction pour produire une bijection entre régions dominantes bornées dum-Shi arrangement et les partitions qui sont à la fois n-coeur et (mn− 1)-coeur. Ces bijections sont naturelles dans le sens où elles commutent avec l’action du groupe affine symétrique.

متن کاملFacets of the Generalized Cluster Complex and Regions in the Extended Catalan Arrangement of Type A
In this paper we present a bijection between two well known families of Catalan objects: the set of facets of the m-generalized cluster complex ∆(An) and that of dominant regions in the m-Catalan arrangement Cat(An), where m ∈ N>0. In particular, the map which we define bijects facets containing the negative simple root −α to dominant regions having the hyperplane {v ∈ V | 〈v, α〉 = m} as separa...
متن کاملAffine Partitions and Affine Grassmannians
We give a bijection between certain colored partitions and the elements in the quotient of an affine Weyl group modulo its Weyl group. By Bott’s formula these colored partitions give rise to some partition identities. In certain types, these identities have previously appeared in the work of Bousquet-Melou-Eriksson, Eriksson-Eriksson and Reiner. In other types the identities appear to be new. F...
متن کاملResults and conjectures on simultaneous core partitions
An n-core partition is an integer partition whose Young diagram contains no hook lengths equal to n. We consider partitions that are simultaneously a-core and b-core for two relatively prime integers a and b, which correspond to abacus diagrams and the combinatorics of the affine symmetric group (type A). We observe that self-conjugate simultaneous core partitions correspond to type C combinato...
متن کاملDominant Shi regions with a fixed separating wall: bijective enumeration
We present a purely combinatorial proof by means of an explicit bijection, of the exact number of dominant regions having as a separating wall the hyperplane associated to the longest root in the m-extended Shi hyperplane arrangement of type A and dimension n− 1.
