Generating function for A225114

Let $a(n)$ be A225114 (i.e., number of skew partitions of $n$ whose diagrams have no empty rows and columns). Let $b(n)$ be an integer sequence with generating function $B(x)$ such that $$ B(x) = \...

Inequality for hook numbers in Young diagrams

Consider a Young diagram $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_\ell)$. For a square $(i,j) \in \lambda$, define hook numbers $h_{ij} = \lambda_i + \lambda_j' -i - j +1$ and complementary hook numbers $...

Skewed plane partition with only row fillings reversed

The number of plane partitions in a bounded box is well-studied and dates back to MacMahon, at the start of this paper by Sam Hopkins and Tri Lai, p9, they summarized current results on the ...

hook length formula for plane partitions

The hook length formula give a simple product expression for the number of standard Young tableaux of a given shape $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an integer partition, or equivalently, the number of ...

Counting integer partitions below some Young diagram

Question: Given positive, coprime integers $m<n$, consider the Young diagram $Y$ formed by the lattice points in the Cartesian plane lying below the line from $(0,0)$ to $(m,n)$ and within the ...

Plane partitions with equal margins

A plane partition of $n$ is an table of integers $A=(a_{ij})$ which add up to $n$ and non-increase in rows and columns. For example, $$A= \begin{matrix} 331 \\ 32 \ \ \\ 11 \ \ \end{matrix} $$ is a ...

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 ...

A variation on Bulgarian solitare

It appears that a variation on Bulgarian solitare has a fixed point regardless of the starting $n$. For example, let $n=69$, and consider this partition: $$ (8,8,7,7,5,5,5,5,5,4,3,3,2,2) $$ In ...

Generating random weak k-bounded reverse plane partitions

Fix a partition $\lambda$. A weak reverse plane partition of shape $\lambda$ is a filling $0\leq \pi_{ij}$ of $\lambda$ with $\pi_{ij}\leq \pi_{kl}$ whenever $i\leq k$ or $j\leq l$. Note that $\pi_{ij}...

Box-dual of a partition - what is it called?

Fix natural numbers $n,m\in\mathbb{N}$. Given a partition $\lambda\vdash d$ with at most $n$ rows (and at most $m$ columns), we can define a partition $\lambda^\ast=(\lambda^\ast_1,\ldots,\lambda^\...
