A tableau inversion is a pair of entries from the same column of a row-standard tableau that lack the relative ordering necessary to make the tableau column-standard. An $i$-inverted Young tableau is a row-standard tableau with precisely $i$ inversion pairs, and may be interpreted as a generalization of (column-standard) Young tableaux. Inverted Young tableaux that lack repeated entries were introduced by Fresse to calculate the Betti numbers of Springer fibers in Type A, and were later developed as combinatorial objects in their own right by Beagley and Drube. This paper generalizes earlier notions of tableau inversions to row-standard tableaux with repeated entries, yielding an interesting new generalization of semistandard (as opposed to merely standard) Young tableaux. We develop a closed formula for the maximum numbers of inversion pairs for a row-standard tableau with a specific shape and content, and show that the number of $i$-inverted tableaux of a given shape is invariant under permutation of content. We then enumerate $i$-inverted Young tableaux for a variety of shapes and contents, and generalize an earlier result that places $1$-inverted Young tableaux of a general shape in bijection with $0$-inverted Young tableaux of a variety of related shapes.

A tableau inversion is a pair of entries in row-standard tableau $T$ that lie in the same column of $T$ yet lack the appropriate relative ordering to make $T$ column-standard.  An $i$-inverted Young tableau is a row-standard tableau along with precisely $i$ inversion pairs. Tableau inversions were originally introduced by Fresse to calculate the Betti numbers of Springer fibers in Type A, with the number of $i$-inverted tableaux that standardize to a fixed standard Young tableau corresponding to a specific Betti number of the associated fiber. In this paper we approach the topic of tableau inversions from a completely combinatorial perspective. We develop formulas enumerating the number of $i$-inverted Young tableaux for a variety of tableaux shapes, not restricting ourselves to inverted tableau that standardize a specific standard Young tableau, and construct bijections between $i$-inverted Young tableaux of a certain shape with $j$-inverted Young tableaux of different shapes. Finally, we share some the results of a computer program developed to calculate tableaux inversions.

An inverted semistandard Young tableau is a row-standard tableau along with a collection of inversion pairs that quantify how far the tableau is from being column semistandard. Such a tableau with precisely $k$ inversion pairs is said to be a $k$-inverted semistandard Young tableau. Building upon earlier work by Fresse and the author, this paper develops generating functions for the numbers of $k$-inverted semistandard Young tableaux of various shapes $\lambda$ and contents $\mu$. An easily-calculable generating function is given for the number of $k$-inverted semistandard Young tableaux that "standardize" to a fixed semistandard Young tableau. For $m$-row shapes $\lambda$ and standard content $\mu$, the total number of $k$-inverted standard Young tableaux of shape $\lambda$ is then enumerated by relating such tableaux to $m$-dimensional generalizations of Dyck paths and counting the numbers of "returns to ground" in those paths. In the rectangular specialization of $\lambda = n^m$ this yields a generating function that involves $m$-dimensional analogues of the famed Ballot numbers. Our various results are then used to directly enumerate all $k$-inverted semistandard Young tableaux with arbitrary content and two-row shape $\lambda = a^1 b^1$, as well as all $k$-inverted standard Young tableaux with two-column shape $\lambda=2^n$.

Let $g_{n_1,n_2}$ be the number of standard Young tableau of truncated shifted shape with $n_1$ rows and $n_2$ boxes in each row. By using the integral method this paper derives the recurrence relations of $g_{3,n}$, $g_{n,4}$ and $g_{n,5}$ respectively. Specifically, $g_{n,4}$ is the $(2n-1)$-st Pell number.

Motivated by the direct-sum-decomposition of the $r^{\text{th}}$ tensor power of the defining representation of the special orthogonal group $\mathrm{SO}(2k + 1)$, we present a bijection between vacillating tableaux and pairs consisting of a standard Young tableau and an orthogonal Littlewood-Richardson tableau for $\mathrm{SO}(3)$.Our bijection preserves a suitably defined descent set. Using it we determine the quasi-symmetric expansion of the Frobenius characters of the isotypic components.On the combinatorial side we obtain a bijection between Riordan paths and standard Young tableaux with 3 rows, all of even length or all of odd length.

International audience The Selberg integral is an important integral first evaluated by Selberg in 1944. Stanley found a combinatorial interpretation of the Selberg integral in terms of permutations. In this paper, new combinatorial objects "Young books'' are introduced and shown to have a connection with the Selberg integral. This connection gives an enumeration formula for Young books. It is shown that special cases of Young books become standard Young tableaux of various shapes: shifted staircases, squares, certain skew shapes, and certain truncated shapes. As a consequence, enumeration formulas for standard Young tableaux of these shapes are obtained. L’intégrale de Selberg est une partie intégrante importante abord évaluée par Selberg en 1944. Stanley a trouvé une interprétation combinatoire de la Selberg aide en permutations. Dans ce papier, de nouveaux objets combinatoires “livres de Young” sont introduits et présentés à avoir un lien avec l’intégrale de Selberg. Cette connexion donne une formule d'énumération pour les livres de Young. Il est démontré que des cas spéciaux de livres de Young deviennent tableaux standards de Young de formes diverses: escaliers décalés, places, certaines formes gauches et certaines formes tronquées. En conséquence, l’énumération des formules pour tableaux standards de Young de ces formes sont obtenues.

International audience 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.

We show that $J_n$, the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the $n$-cycle, has a free resolution supported on the $(n-3)$-dimensional simplicial associahedron $A_n$. This resolution is not minimal for $n \geq 6$; in this case the Betti numbers of $J_n$ are strictly smaller than the $f$-vector of $A_n$. We show that in fact the Betti numbers $\beta_{d}$ of $J_n$ are in bijection with the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $(d+1, 2, 1^{n-d-3})$. This complements the fact that the number of $(d-1)$-dimensional faces of $A_n$ are given by the number of standard Young tableaux of (super)shape $(d+1, d+1, 1^{n-d-3})$; a bijective proof of this result was first provided by Stanley. An application of discrete Morse theory yields a cellular resolution of $J_n$ that we show is minimal at the first syzygy. We furthermore exhibit a simple involution on the set of associahedron tableaux with fixed points given by the Betti tableaux, suggesting a Morse matching and in particular a poset structure on these objects.

We consider two partial orders on the set of standard Young tableaux. The first one is induced to this set from the weak right order on symmetric group by Robinson-Schensted algorithm. The second one is induced to it from the dominance order on Young diagrams by considering a Young tableau as a chain of Young diagrams. We prove that these two orders of completely different nature coincide on the subset of Young tableaux with 2 columns or with 2 rows. This fact has very interesting geometric implications for orbital varieties of nilpotent order 2 in special linear algebra $sl_n.$

Let $\mu$ be a partition of $k$, and $T$ a standard Young tableau of shape $\mu$. McKay, Morse, and Wilf show that the probability a randomly chosen Young tableau of $N$ cells contains $T$ as a subtableau is asymptotic to $f^\mu/k!$ as $N$ goes to infinity, where $f^\mu$ is the number of all tableaux of shape $\mu$. We use a random-walk argument to show that the analogous asymptotic probability for randomly chosen Young tableaux with at most $n$ rows is proportional to $\prod_{1\le i < j\le n}\bigl((\mu_i-i)-(\mu_j-j)\bigr)$; as $n$ goes to infinity, the probabilities approach $f^\mu/k!$ as expected. We have a similar formula for up-down tableaux; the probability approaches $f^\mu/k!$ if $\mu$ has $k$ cells and thus the up-down tableau is actually a standard tableau, and approaches 0 if $\mu$ has fewer than $k$ cells.

Many invertible actions $\tau$ on a set $\mathcal{S}$ of combinatorial objects, along with a natural statistic $f$ on $\mathcal{S}$, exhibit the following property which we dub homomesy: the average of $f$ over each $\tau$-orbit in $\mathcal{S}$ is the same as the average of $f$ over the whole set $\mathcal{S}$. This phenomenon was first noticed by Panyushev in 2007 in the context of the rowmotion action on the set of antichains of a root poset; Armstrong, Stump, and Thomas proved Panyushev's conjecture in 2011. We describe a theoretical framework for results of this kind  that applies more broadly, giving examples in a variety of contexts. These include linear actions on vector spaces, sandpile dynamics, Suter's action on certain subposets of Young's Lattice, Lyness 5-cycles, promotion of rectangular semi-standard Young tableaux, and the rowmotion and promotion actions on certain posets. We give a detailed description of the latter situation for products of two chains.
