We introduce a new class of admissible pairs of triangular sequences and prove a bijection between the set of admissible pairs of triangular sequences of length $n$ and the set of parking functions of length $n$. For all $u$ and $v=0,1,2,3$ and all $n\le 7$ we describe in terms of admissible pairs the dimensions of the bi-graded components $h_{u,v}$ of diagonal harmonics ${\Bbb{C}}[x_1,\dots,x_n;y_1,\dots,y_n]/S_n$, i.e., polynomials in two groups of $n$ variables modulo the diagonal action of symmetric group $S_n$.

International audience We examine the $q=1$ and $t=0$ special cases of the parking functions conjecture. The parking functions conjecture states that the Hilbert series for the space of diagonal harmonics is equal to the bivariate generating function of $area$ and $dinv$ over the set of parking functions. Haglund recently proved that the Hilbert series for the space of diagonal harmonics is equal to a bivariate generating function over the set of Tesler matrices–upper-triangular matrices with every hook sum equal to one. We give a combinatorial interpretation of the Haglund generating function at $q=1$ and prove the corresponding case of the parking functions conjecture (first proven by Garsia and Haiman). We also discuss a possible proof of the $t = 0$ case consistent with this combinatorial interpretation. We conclude by briefly discussing possible refinements of the parking functions conjecture arising from this research and point of view. $\textbf{Note added in proof}$: We have since found such a proof of the $t = 0$ case and conjectured more detailed refinements. This research will most likely be presented in full in a forthcoming article. On examine les cas spéciaux $q=1$ et $t=0$ de la conjecture des fonctions de stationnement. Cette conjecture déclare que la série de Hilbert pour l'espace des harmoniques diagonaux est égale à la fonction génératrice bivariée (paramètres $area$ et $dinv$) sur l'ensemble des fonctions de stationnement. Haglund a prouvé récemment que la série de Hilbert pour l'espace des harmoniques diagonaux est égale à une fonction génératrice bivariée sur l'ensemble des matrices de Tesler triangulaires supérieures dont la somme de chaque équerre vaut un. On donne une interprétation combinatoire de la fonction génératrice de Haglund pour $q=1$ et on prouve le cas correspondant de la conjecture dans le cas des fonctions de stationnement (prouvé d'abord par Garsia et Haiman). On discute aussi d'une preuve possible du cas $t=0$, cohérente avec cette interprétation combinatoire. On conclut en discutant brièvement les raffinements possibles de la conjecture des fonctions de stationnement de ce point de vue. $\textbf{Note ajoutée sur épreuve}$: j'ai trouvé depuis cet article une preuve du cas $t=0$ et conjecturé des raffinements possibles. Ces résultats seront probablement présentés dans un article ultérieur.

The lattice of noncrossing partitions can be embedded into the Cayley graph of the symmetric group. This allows us to rederive connections between noncrossing partitions and parking functions. We use an analogous embedding for type B non-crossing partitions in order to answer a question raised by R. Stanley on the edge labeling of the type B non-crossing partitions lattice.

The Hecke algebra of the pair $(\mathcal{S}_{2n},\mathcal{B}_n)$, where $\mathcal{B}_n$ is the hyperoctahedral subgroup of $\mathcal{S}_{2n}$, was introduced by James in 1961. It is a natural analogue of the center of the symmetric group algebra. In this paper, we give a polynomiality property of its structure coefficients. Our main tool is a combinatorial algebra which projects onto the Hecke algebra of $(\mathcal{S}_{2n},\mathcal{B}_n)$ for every $n$. To build it, by using partial bijections we introduce and study a new class of finite dimensional algebras.

Tesler matrices are certain integral matrices counted by the Kostant partition function and have appeared recently in Haglund's study of diagonal harmonics. In 2014, Drew Armstrong defined a poset on such matrices and conjectured that the characteristic polynomial of this poset is a power of $q-1$. We use a method of Hallam and Sagan to prove a stronger version of this conjecture for posets of a certain class of generalized Tesler matrices. We also study bounds for the number of Tesler matrices and how they compare to the number of parking functions, the dimension of the space of diagonal harmonics.

A parking function is a sequence $(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ of positive integers such that, if $b_1\leq b_2\leq \cdots\leq b_n$ is the increasing rearrangement of the sequence $(a_1,\dots, a_n),$ then $b_i\leq i$. A noncrossing partition of the set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ is a partition $\pi$ of the set $[n]$ with the property that if $a < b < c < d$ and some block $B$ of $\pi$ contains both $a$ and $c$, while some block $B'$ of $\pi$ contains both $b$ and $d$, then $B=B'$. We establish some connections between parking functions and noncrossing partitions. A generating function for the flag $f$-vector of the lattice NC$_{n+1}$ of noncrossing partitions of $[{\scriptstyle n+1}]$ is shown to coincide (up to the involution $\omega$ on symmetric function) with Haiman's parking function symmetric function. We construct an edge labeling of NC$_{n+1}$ whose chain labels are the set of all parking functions of length $n$. This leads to a local action of the symmetric group ${S}_n$ on NC$_{n+1}$.

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible crystallographic root system with Weyl group $W$, coroot lattice $\check{Q}$ and Coxeter number $h$. Recently the second named author defined a uniform $W$-isomorphism $\zeta$ between the finite torus $\check{Q}/(mh+1)\check{Q}$ and the set of non-nesting parking functions $\operatorname{Park}^{(m)}(\Phi)$. If $\Phi$ is of type $A_{n-1}$ and $m=1$ this map is equivalent to a map defined on labelled Dyck paths that arises in the study of the Hilbert series of the space of diagonal harmonics. In this paper we investigate the case $m=1$ for the other infinite families of root systems ($B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$). In each type we define models for the finite torus and for the set of non-nesting parking functions in terms of labelled lattice paths. The map $\zeta$ can then be viewed as a map between these combinatorial objects. Our work entails new bijections between (square) lattice paths and ballot paths.

Haglund and Loehr previously conjectured two equivalent combinatorial formulas for the Hilbert series of the Garsia-Haiman diagonal harmonics modules. These formulas involve weighted sums of labelled Dyck paths (or parking functions) relative to suitable statistics. This article introduces a third combinatorial formula that is shown to be equivalent to the first two. We show that the four statistics on labelled Dyck paths appearing in these formulas all have the same univariate distribution, which settles an earlier question of Haglund and Loehr. We then introduce analogous statistics on other collections of labelled lattice paths contained in trapezoids. We obtain a fermionic formula for the generating function for these statistics. We give bijective proofs of the equivalence of several forms of this generating function. These bijections imply that all the new statistics have the same univariate distribution. Using these new statistics, we conjecture combinatorial formulas for the Hilbert series of certain generalizations of the diagonal harmonics modules.

International audience An $m$-ballot path of size $n$ is a path on the square grid consisting of north and east unit steps, starting at (0,0), ending at $(mn,n)$, and never going below the line $\{x=my\}$. The set of these paths can be equipped with a lattice structure, called the $m$-Tamari lattice and denoted by $\mathcal{T}{_n}^{(m)}$, which generalizes the usual Tamari lattice $\mathcal{T}n$ obtained when $m=1$. This lattice was introduced by F. Bergeron in connection with the study of diagonally coinvariant spaces in three sets of $n$ variables. The representation of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on these spaces is conjectured to be closely related to the natural representation of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on (labelled) intervals of the $m$-Tamari lattice studied in this paper. An interval $[P,Q$] of $\mathcal{T}{_n}^{(m)}$ is labelled if the north steps of $Q$ are labelled from 1 to $n$ in such a way the labels increase along any sequence of consecutive north steps. The symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ acts on labelled intervals of $\mathcal{T}{_n}^{(m)}$by permutation of the labels. We prove an explicit formula, conjectured by F. Bergeron and the third author, for the character of the associated representation of $\mathfrak{S}_n$. In particular, the dimension of the representation, that is, the number of labelled $m$-Tamari intervals of size $n$, is found to be $(m+1)^n(mn+1)^{n-2}$. These results are new, even when $m=1$. The form of these numbers suggests a connection with parking functions, but our proof is not bijective. The starting point is a recursive description of $m$-Tamari intervals. It yields an equation for an associated generating function, which is a refined version of the Frobenius series of the representation. The form of this equation is highly non-standard: it involves two additional variables $x$ and $y$, a derivative with respect to $y$ and iterated divided differences with respect to $x$. The hardest part of the proof consists in solving it, and we develop original techniques to do so.

International audience The Hilbert series of the Garsia-Haiman module can be written as a generating function of standard fillings of Ferrers diagrams. It is conjectured by Haglund and Loehr that the Hilbert series of the diagonal harmonics can be written as a generating function of parking functions. In this paper we present a weight-preserving injection from standard fillings to parking functions for certain cases. La série Hilbert du module Garsia-Haiman peut être écrite comme fonction génératrice de tableaux des diagrammes Ferrers. Haglund et Loehr conjecturent que la série Hilbert de l'harmonic diagonale peut être écrite comme fonction génératrice des fonctions parking. Dans cet essai nous présentons une injection des tableaux vers les fonctions parking pour certains cas.
