Symmetry properties of the Novelli-Pak-Stoyanovskii algorithm

چکیده
The number of standard Young tableaux of a fixed shape is famously given by the hook-length formula due to Frame, Robinson and Thrall. A bijective proof of Novelli, Pak and Stoyanovskii relies on a sorting algorithm akin to jeu-de-taquin which transforms an arbitrary filling of a partition into a standard Young tableau by exchanging adjacent entries. Recently, Krattenthaler and Müller defined the complexity of this algorithm as the average number of performed exchanges, and Neumann and the author proved it fulfils some nice symmetry properties. In this paper we recall and extend the previous results and provide new bijective proofs. Résumé. Le nombre de tableaux de Young standards de forme fixée est donné par la formule des équerres bien connue, due à Frame, Robinson et Thrall. Une preuve bijective de Novelli, Pak et Stoyanovskii repose sur un algorithme de tri analogue au jeu de taquin, qui transforme un remplissage arbitraire d’une partition en un tableau de Young standard en échangeant des entrées adjacentes. Récemment, Krattenthaler et Müller ont défini la complexité de cet algorithme par le nombre moyen d’échanges effectués, et Neumann et l’auteur ont prouvé que celle-ci satisfait de belles propriétés de symétries. Dans cet article nous rappelons et étendons les résultats précédents, et nous fournissons de nouvelles preuves bijectives.

Asymptotic and Exact Results on the Complexity of the Novelli-Pak-Stoyanovskii Algorithm
The Novelli–Pak–Stoyanovskii algorithm is a sorting algorithm for Young tableaux of a fixed shape that was originally devised to give a bijective proof of the hooklength formula. We obtain new asymptotic results on the average case and worst case complexity of this algorithm as the underlying shape tends to a fixed limit curve. Furthermore, using the summation package Sigma we prove an exact fo...
متن کاملBijective proofs of the hook formula for rooted trees
We present a bijective proof of the hook length formula for rooted trees based on the ideas of the bijective proof of the hook length formula for standard tableaux by Novelli, Pak and Stoyanovskii [10]. In section 4 we present another bijection for the formula. MR Subject Classification: 05A05,05A15
متن کاملA Symmetry Theorem on a Modified Jeu De Taquin
For their bijective proof of the hook-length formula for the number of standard tableaux of a fixed shape Novelli, Pak and Stoyanovskii [2] define a modified jeu de taquin which transforms an arbitrary filling of the Ferrers diagram with 1, 2, . . . , n (tabloid) into a standard tableau. Their definition relies on a total order of the cells in the Ferrers diagram induced by a special standard t...
متن کاملAnother Involution Principle-Free Bijective Proof of Stanley's Hook-Content Formula
Another bijective proof of Stanley’s hook-content formula for the generating function for semistandard tableaux of a given shape is given that does not involve the involution principle of Garsia and Milne. It is the result of a merge of the modified jeu de taquin idea from the author’s previous bijective proof (“An involution principle-free bijective proof of Stanley’s hook-content formula”, Di...
متن کاملA direct bijective proof of the hook-length formula
The aim of this paper is to give a bijective proof of the hook-length formula for the enumeration of standard Young tableaux of a given shape. This formula was discovered by Frame, Robinson and Thrall in 1954 [1] and since then it has been the object of much study. Many proofs have been published based on different approaches, but none of them is considered satisfactory. We refer to the paper [...
