Plactic relations for \(r\)-domino tableaux (Q426801): Difference between revisions

Summary: The work of \textit{C. Bonnafé}, \textit{M. Geck}, \textit{L. Iancu} and \textit{T. Lam} [``On the insertion and Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in type \(B_n\),'' Progress Math. (to appear)] shows through two conjectures that \(r\)-domino tableaux have an important role in Kazhdan-Lusztig theory of type \(B\) with unequal parameters. In this paper we provide plactic relations on signed permutations which determine whether two given signed permutations have the same insertion \(r\)-domino tableaux in Garfinkle's algorithm. Moreover, we show that a particular extension of these relations can describe Garfinkle's equivalence relation on \(r\)-domino tableaux which is given through the notion of open cycles. With these results we enunciate the conjectures of Bonnafé et al. and provide necessary tools for their proofs.
