International audience We show that an element $\mathcal{w}$ of a finite Weyl group W is rationally smooth if and only if the hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{I} (\mathcal{w})$ associated to the inversion set of \mathcal{w} is inductively free, and the product $(d_1+1) ...(d_l+1)$ of the coexponents $d_1,\ldots,d_l$ is equal to the size of the Bruhat interval [e,w]. We also use Peterson translation of coconvex sets to give a Shapiro-Steinberg-Kostant rule for the exponents of $\mathcal{w}$.

International audience We link Schubert varieties in the generalized flag manifolds with hyperplane arrangements. For an element of a Weyl group, we construct a certain graphical hyperplane arrangement. We show that the generating function for regions of this arrangement coincides with the Poincaré polynomial of the corresponding Schubert variety if and only if the Schubert variety is rationally smooth. Nous relions des variétés de Schubert dans le variété flag généralisée avec des arrangements des hyperplans. Pour un élément dún groupe de Weyl, nous construisons un certain arrangement graphique des hyperplans. Nous montrons que la fonction génératrice pour les régions de cet arrangement coincide avec le polynome de Poincaré de la variété de Schubert correspondante si et seulement si la variété de Schubert est rationnellement lisse.

Affine Permutations

International audience The study of Schubert varieties in G/B has led to numerous advances in algebraic combinatorics and algebraic geometry. These varieties are indexed by elements of the corresponding Weyl group, an affine Weyl group, or one of their parabolic quotients. Often times, the goal is to determine which of the algebraic and topological properties of the Schubert variety can be described in terms of the combinatorics of its corresponding Weyl group element. A celebrated example of this occurs when G/B is of type A, due to Lakshmibai and Sandhya. They showed that the smooth Schubert varieties are precisely those indexed by permutations that avoid the patterns 3412 and 4231. Our main result is a characterization of the rationally smooth Schubert varieties corresponding to affine permutations in terms of the patterns 4231 and 3412 and the twisted spiral permutations. L'étude des variétés de Schubert dans G/B a mené à plusieurs avancées en combinatoire algébrique. Ces variétés sont indexées soit par l'élément du groupe de Weyl correspondant, soit par un groupe de Weyl affine, soit par un de leurs quotients paraboliques. Souvent, le but est de déterminer quelles propriétés algébriques et topologiques des variétés de Schubert peuvent être décrites en termes des propriétés combinatoires des éléments du groupe de Weyl correspondant. Un exemple bien connu, dû à Lakshmibai et Sandhya, concerne le cas où G/B est de type A. Ils ont montré que les variétés de Schubert lisses sont exactement celles qui sont indexées par les permutations qui évitent les motifs 3412 et 4231. Notre résultat principal est une caractérisation des variétés de Schubert lisses et rationnelles qui correspondent à des permutations affines pour les motifs 4231 et 3412 et les permutations spirales tordues.

International audience Let $W \ltimes L$ be an irreducible affine Weyl group with Coxeter complex $\Sigma$, where $W$ denotes the associated finite Weyl group and $L$ the translation subgroup. The Steinberg torus is the Boolean cell complex obtained by taking the quotient of $\Sigma$ by the lattice $L$. We show that the ordinary and flag $h$-polynomials of the Steinberg torus (with the empty face deleted) are generating functions over $W$ for a descent-like statistic first studied by Cellini. We also show that the ordinary $h$-polynomial has a nonnegative $\gamma$-vector, and hence, symmetric and unimodal coefficients. In the classical cases, we also provide expansions, identities, and generating functions for the $h$-polynomials of Steinberg tori. Nous considérons un groupe de Weyl affine irréductible $W \ltimes L$ avec complexe de Coxeter $\Sigma$, où $W$ désigne le groupe de Weyl fini associé et $L$ le sous-groupe des translations. Le tore de Steinberg est le complexe cellulaire Booléen obtenu comme le quotient de $\Sigma$ par $L$. Nous montrons que les $h$-polynômes, ordinaires et de drapeaux, du tore de Steinberg (sans la face vide) sont des fonctions génératrices sur $W$ pour une statistique de type descente, étudiée en premier lieu par Cellini. Nous montrons également qu'un $h$-polynôme ordinaire possède un $\gamma$-vecteur positif, et par conséquent, a des coefficients symétriques et unimodaux. Dans les cas classiques, nous donnons également des développements, des identités et des fonctions génératrices pour les $h$-polynômes des tores de Steinberg.

International audience We introduce a multiplicity Tutte polynomial $M(x,y)$, which generalizes the ordinary one and has applications to zonotopes and toric arrangements. We prove that $M(x,y)$ satisfies a deletion-restriction recurrence and has positive coefficients. The characteristic polynomial and the Poincaré polynomial of a toric arrangement are shown to be specializations of the associated polynomial $M(x,y)$, likewise the corresponding polynomials for a hyperplane arrangement are specializations of the ordinary Tutte polynomial. Furthermore, $M(1,y)$ is the Hilbert series of the related discrete Dahmen-Micchelli space, while $M(x,1)$ computes the volume and the number of integral points of the associated zonotope. On introduit un polynôme de Tutte avec multiplicité $M(x, y)$, qui généralise le polynôme de Tutte ordinaire et a des applications aux zonotopes et aux arrangements toriques. Nous prouvons que $M(x, y)$ satisfait une récurrence de "deletion-restriction'' et a des coefficients positifs. Le polynôme caractéristique et le polynôme de Poincaré d'un arrangement torique sont des spécialisations du polynôme associé $M(x, y)$, de même que les polynômes correspondants pour un arrangement d'hyperplans sont des spécialisations du polynôme de Tutte ordinaire. En outre, $M(1, y)$ est la série de Hilbert de l'espace discret de Dahmen-Micchelli associé, et $M(x, 1)$ calcule le volume et le nombre de points entiers du zonotope associé.

The Relationship

International audience Lusztig's theory of PBW bases gives a way to realize the crystal B(∞) for any simple complex Lie algebra where the underlying set consists of Kostant partitions. In fact, there are many different such realizations, one for each reduced expression for the longest element of the Weyl group. There is an algorithm to calculate the actions of the crystal operators, but it can be quite complicated. For ADE types, we give conditions on the reduced expression which ensure that the corresponding crystal operators are given by simple combinatorial bracketing rules. We then give at least one reduced expression satisfying our conditions in every type except E8, and discuss the resulting combinatorics. Finally, we describe the relationship with more standard tableaux combinatorics in types A and D.

International audience We prove that the Lam-Shimozono ``down operator'' on the affine Weyl group induces a derivation of the affine Fomin-Stanley subalgebra of the affine nilCoxeter algebra. We use this to verify a conjecture of Berg, Bergeron, Pon and Zabrocki describing the expansion of k-Schur functions of ``near rectangles'' in the affine nilCoxeter algebra. Consequently, we obtain a combinatorial interpretation of the corresponding k-Littlewood–Richardson coefficients. Nous montrons que l’opérateur ``down'', défini par Lam et Shimozono sur le groupe de Weyl affine, induit une dérivation de la sous-algèbre affine de Fomin-Stanley de l'algèbre affine de nilCoxeter. Nous employons cette dérivation pour vérifier une conjecture de Berg, Bergeron, Pon et Zabrocki sur l'expansion des k-fonctions de Schur indexées par les partitions qui sont ``presque rectangles''. Par conséquent, nous obtenons une interprétation combinatoire des k-coefficients de Littlewood–Richardson correspondants.

Affine Type

International audience In his study of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in affine type A, Shi has introduced an affine analog of Robinson- Schensted correspondence. We generalize the Matrix-Ball Construction of Viennot and Fulton to give a more combi- natorial realization of Shi's algorithm. As a biproduct, we also give a way to realize the affine correspondence via the usual Robinson-Schensted bumping algorithm. Next, inspired by Honeywill, we extend the algorithm to a bijection between extended affine symmetric group and triples (P, Q, ρ) where P and Q are tabloids and ρ is a dominant weight. The weights ρ get a natural interpretation in terms of the Affine Matrix-Ball Construction. Finally, we prove that fibers of the inverse map possess a Weyl group symmetry, explaining the dominance condition on weights.

International audience The positroid decomposition of the Grassmannian refines the well-known Schubert decomposition, and has a rich combinatorial structure. There are a number of interesting combinatorial posets which index positroid varieties,just as Young diagrams index Schubert varieties. In addition, Postnikov’s boundary measurement map gives a family of parametrizations for each positroid variety. The domain of each parametrization is the space of edge weights of a weighted planar network. The positroid stratification of the Grassmannian provides an elementary example of Lusztig’s theory of total non negativity for partial flag varieties, and has remarkable applications to particle physics.We generalize the combinatorics of positroid varieties to the Lagrangian Grassmannian, the moduli space of maximal isotropic subspaces with respect to a symplectic form

International audience The Schubert polynomials lift the Schur basis of symmetric polynomials into a basis for Z[x1; x2; : : :]. We suggest the prism tableau model for these polynomials. A novel aspect of this alternative to earlier results is that it directly invokes semistandard tableaux; it does so as part of a colored tableau amalgam. In the Grassmannian case, a prism tableau with colors ignored is a semistandard Young tableau. Our arguments are developed from the Gr¨obner geometry of matrix Schubert varieties.
