Positive and Negative Chains in Charged Moon Polyominoes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We associate with a moon polyominoes a charge function C :M→ {±1} such that every cell of the polyomino is either positive or negative. The charge function induces naturally a sign on the northeast and southeast chains of length 2 in 01-fillings of the moon polyomino. We prove that the joint distribution of the numbers of positive chains and negative chains is symmetric and independent of the charge function. Our result reveals a deeper symmetry between the northeast and southeast chains of length 2 in 01-fillings of moon polyominoes, and gives a new family of Mahonian statistics for many combinatorial structures.

Maximal increasing sequences in fillings of almost-moon polyominoes
It was proved by Rubey that the number of fillings with zeros and ones of a given moon polyomino that do not contain a northeast chain of size k depends only on the set of columns of the polyomino, but not the shape of the polyomino. Rubey’s proof is an adaption of jeu de taquin and promotion for arbitrary fillings of moon polyominoes. In this paper we present a bijective proof for this result ...
متن کاملIncreasing and Decreasing Sequences in Fillings of Moon Polyominoes
We present an adaptation of Jeu de Taquin for arbitrary fillings of moon polyominoes. Using this construction we show various symmetry properties of such fillings taking into account the lengths of longest increasing and decreasing chains. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Jakob Jonsson. We also relate our construction to the one recently employed by Christian Krattenthaler, thus generali...

متن کاملChains of Length 2 in Fillings of Layer Polyominoes
The symmetry of the joint distribution of the numbers of crossings and nestings of length 2 has been observed in many combinatorial structures, including permutations, matchings, set partitions, linked partitions, and certain families of graphs. These results have been unified in the larger context of enumeration of northeast and southeast chains of length 2 in 01-fillings of moon polyominoes. ...
متن کاملMajor index for 01-fillings of moon polyominoes
We propose a major index statistic on 01-fillings of moon polyominoes which, when specialized to certain shapes, reduces to the major index for permutations and set partitions. We consider the set F(M, s;A) of all 01-fillings of a moon polyomino M with given column sum s whose empty rows are A, and prove that this major index has the same distribution as the number of north-east chains, which a...
