RIMS - 1824 Rigged Configurations and Catalan , Stretched Parabolic Kostka

We will look at the Catalan numbers from the Rigged Configurations point of view originated [9] from an combinatorial analysis of the Bethe Ansatz Equations associated with the higher spin anisotropic Heisenberg models . Our strategy is to take a combinatorial interpretation of Catalan numbers Cn as the number of standard Young tableaux of rectangular shape (n2), or equivalently, as the Kostka ...

9 M ay 2 00 8 IDENTITIES INVOLVING NARAYANA POLYNOMIALS AND CATALAN NUMBERS

Abstract. We first establish the result that the Narayana polynomials can be represented as the integrals of the Legendre polynomials. Then we represent the Catalan numbers in terms of the Narayana polynomials by three different identities. We give three different proofs for these identities, namely, two algebraic proofs and one combinatorial proof. Some applications are also given which lead t...

Catalan Triangle Numbers and Binomial Coefficients

The binomial coefficients and Catalan triangle numbers appear as weight multiplicities of the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras and affine Kac–Moody algebras. We prove that any binomial coefficient can be written as weighted sums along rows of the Catalan triangle. The coefficients in the sums form a triangular array, which we call the alternating Jacobsthal triangle. We study various subs...

A Combinatorial Identity with Application to Catalan Numbers 3

l k=0 (−1) m−k l k m − k n 2k k − 2l + m = l k=0 l k 2k n n − l m + n − 3k − l. On the basis of this identity, for d ∈ {0, 1, 2,. .. } and ε ∈ {0, ±1} we construct explicit f ε (d) and g ε (d) such that for any prime p > d we have p−1 k=1 k ε C k+d ≡ f ε (d) if p ≡ 1 (mod 3), g ε (d) if p ≡ 2 (mod 3), where C n denotes the Catalan number 1 n+1 2n n ; for example, if p 5 is a prime then 0<k<p−4 ...

Staircase tilings and k-Catalan structures

Many interesting combinatorial objects are enumerated by the k-Catalan numbers, one possible generalization of the Catalan numbers. We will present a new combinatorial object that is enumerated by the k-Catalan numbers, staircase tilings. We give a bijection between staircase tilings and k-good paths, and between k-good paths and k-ary trees. In addition, we enumerate k-ary paths according to D...
