Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions and Alternating Sign Matrices
نویسنده
چکیده
We present multiresidue integral formulae for partial sums in the basis of link patterns of the polynomial solution to the level 1 Uq(ŝl2) quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation at generic values of the quantum parameter q. These allow for rewriting and generalizing a recent conjecture [Di Francesco ’06] connecting the above to generating polynomials for weighted Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions. We reduce the corresponding conjectures to a single integral identity.

A Connection between Alternating Sign Matrices and Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions
We give a lattice path interpretation for totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions. This is a first step in solving the long standing problem of enumerating such plane partitions. Another outstanding problem in enumerative combinatorics is the search for a bijection between alternating sign matrices and totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions. From the lattice path in...
متن کاملOn refined enumerations of totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions II
In this paper we settle a weak version of a conjecture (i.e. Conjecture 6) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey in the paper “Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions” J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277–292. In other words we show that the number of shifted plane partitions invariant under the involution γ is equal to the number of alternating sign matrices invariant under the vertical flip....
متن کاملThe Poset Perspective on Alternating Sign Matrices
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 certain poset, proving that they are in bijection with a variety of interesting combinatorial objects, including ASMs, totally symmetric self–complementary plane...
متن کاملOn the Doubly Refined Enumeration of Alternating Sign Matrices and Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions
We prove the equality of doubly refined enumerations of Alternating Sign Matrices and of Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions using integral formulae originating from certain solutions of the quantum Knizhnik– Zamolodchikov equation. The authors thank N. Kitanine for discussions, and J.-B. Zuber for a careful reading of the manuscript. PZJ was supported by EU Marie Curie Resear...
متن کاملRefined Enumerations of Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions and Constant Term Identities
In this paper we give Pfaffian or determinant expressions, and constant term identities for the conjectures in the paper “Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions” (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277–292) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey. We also settle a weak version of Conjecture 6 in the paper, i.e., the number of shifted plane partitions invariant under a certain involution is equal ...
