Self-complementary Plane Partitions by Proctor's Minuscule Method
نویسنده
چکیده
A method of Proctor [4] realizes the set of arbitrary plane partitions in a box and the set of symmetric plane partitions as bases of linear representations of Lie groups. We extend this method by realizing transposition and complementation of plane partitions as natural linear transformations of the representations, thereby enumerating symmetric plane partitions, self-complementary plane partitions, and transpose-complement plane partitions in a new way.

(−1)–enumeration of Plane Partitions with Complementation Symmetry
We compute the weighted enumeration of plane partitions contained in a given box with complementation symmetry where adding one half of an orbit of cubes and removing the other half of the orbit changes the weight by −1 as proposed by Kuperberg in [7, pp.25/26]. We use nonintersecting lattice path families to accomplish this for transpose–complementary, cyclically symmetric transpose–complement...
متن کاملRefined Enumerations of Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions and Lattice Path Combinatorics
This article is a short explanation of some of the results obtained in my papers “On refined enumerations of totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions I, II”. We give Pfaffian expressions for some of the conjectures in the paper “Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions” (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277–292) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey, using the lattice path method.
متن کاملThe Equivalence between Enumerating Cyclically Symmetric, Self-Complementary and Totally Symmetric, Self-Complementary Plane Partitions
We prove that the number of cyclically symmetric, self-complementary plane partitions contained in a cube of side 2n equals the square of the number of totally symmetric, self-complementary plane partitions contained in the same cube, without explicitly evaluating either of these numbers. This appears to be the first direct proof of this fact. The problem of finding such a proof was suggested b...
متن کاملA 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 I
Abstract In this paper we give Pfaffian expressions and constant term identities for three conjectures (i.e. Conjecture 2, Conjecture 3 and Conjecture 7) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey in the paper “Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions” J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277–292) concerning the refined enumeration problems of totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions. We al...
