Dominance for Generalized Tabloids

Sorry I forgot to post this yesterday afternoon.

You could probably have predicted this: we’re going to have orders on generalized tabloids analogous to the dominance and column dominance orders for tabloids without repetitions. Each tabloid (or column tabloid) gives a sequence of compositions, and at the $i$ th step we throw in all the entries with value $i$ .

For example, the generalized column tabloid

$\displaystyle[S]=\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2&1&1\\3&2&\multicolumn{1}{c}{}\end{array}$

gives the sequence of compositions

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}\lambda^1&=(0,1,1)\\\lambda^2&=(1,2,1)\\\lambda^3&=(2,2,1)\end{aligned}$

while the semistandard generalized column tabloid

$\displaystyle[T]=\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}1&1&1\\2&3&\multicolumn{1}{c}{}\end{array}$

gives the sequence of compositions

$\displaystyle\begin{aligned}\mu^1&=(1,1,1)\\\mu^2&=(2,1,1)\\\mu^3&=(2,2,1)\end{aligned}$

and we find that $[S]\trianglelefteq[T]$ since $\lambda^i\trianglelefteq\mu^i$ for all $i$ .

We of course have a dominance lemma: if $k<l$ , $k$ occurs in a column to the left of $l$ in $T$ , and $S$ is obtained from $T$ by swapping these two entries, then $[T]\triangleright[S]$ . As an immediate corollary, we find that if $T$ is semistandard and $S\in\{T\}$ is different from $T$ , then $[T]\triangleright[S]$ . That is, $[T]$ is the "largest" (in the dominance order) equivalence class in $\theta_T{t}$ . The proofs of these facts are almost exactly as they were before.

About this weblog

This is mainly an expository blath, with occasional high-level excursions, humorous observations, rants, and musings. The main-line exposition should be accessible to the “Generally Interested Lay Audience”, as long as you trace the links back towards the basics. Check the sidebar for specific topics (under “Categories”).

I’m in the process of tweaking some aspects of the site to make it easier to refer back to older topics, so try to make the best of it for now.
