Has Reifegerste's Theorem on RSK and Knuth relations received a slick proof by now?
For the notations I am using, I refer to the Appendix at the end of this post.
Here is what, for the sake of this post, I consider to be Reifegerste's theorem:
Theorem 1. Let $n\in\mathbb N$ and $i\...

3D generalizations of permutations, RSK correspondence, contingency tables, etc.
I want to gather facts and questions related to 3D generalizations
of permutations, RSK correspondence, contingency tables,
etc. One reason I am interested in this is because it is potentially
related ...

A basic question about Young symmetrizers
This is probably elementary for experts on the representation theory of the symmetric group, but I did not find the answers I need by a cursory look at the usual textbooks (they could be there, but I ...

On an asymptotic formula of Keating and Snaith involving the Riemann zeta function
Keating and Snaith have a famous conjecture on the asymptotics of the
integral $\int_0^T |\zeta(\frac 12+it)|^{2k}\, dt$, where $\zeta$
denotes the Riemann zeta function. See page 510 of the book ...

Most computationally efficient Littlewood-Richardson rule
There are many, many different versions of the Littlewood-Richardson rule: the original characterization via Yamanouchi words, Remmel's version, a description via the Poirier-Reutenauer bialgebra, the ...

Random RSK and Plancherel Measure
Let $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. It is known that if these random variables are distributed uniformly on the unit interval, then applying the RSK algorithm to this ...

bijection between number of partitions of 2n satisfying certain conditions with number of partitions of n
Suppose $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\lambda_2,.....,\lambda_k)$ is a partition of $2n$ where $n \in \mathbb N$ satisfying the following conditions:
(1) $\lambda_{k} = 1$.
(2) $\lambda_{i} - \lambda_{i+1} \...

Does there exist a sequence of groups whose representation theory is described by plane partitions?
More precisely, does there exist a sequence $G_1 < G_2 < \cdots$ of finite groups such that the irreducible representations of $G_n$ are parameterized by the plane partitions of total size $n$?

Determinantal formula for plane partitions of shifted shape
For $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_{\ell})$ a partition, a (weak) plane partition of shape $\lambda$ is a filling of the Young diagram of $\lambda$ with nonnegative integers such that entries ...

Iterated derivative and rectangular standard Young tableaux
We first make a few definitions, seemingly out of the blue (they are introduced/defined in this paper).
Let $F^0_{a}(z) = (1-z)^{-1}$ and define recursively
$$
F^{k+1}_{a}(z) = z^{a-1} \frac{d^a}{dz^...

Hook-content polynomial 2
Recently I have proven the following identity
\begin{align}
\sum_{\lambda\in \text{different hook of size d}} \frac{1}{d!} (-1)^{ht(\lambda)-1} \, \dim \lambda \, \prod_{\Box \in \lambda} \frac{1}{1-...
