A cyclage poset structure for Littlewood-Richardson tableaux (Q5937429)

The author defines a graded poset structure for sets of Littlewood-Richardson tableaux with given properties, which generalizes the cyclage poset on tableaux defined by Lascoux and Schützenberger. He shows that polynomials obtained by enumerating Littlewood-Richardson tableaux by shape and a generalized statistic, are the graded multiplicities of irreducibles in certain graded \(gl(n)\)-modules supported in the closure of a nilpotent conjugacy class. The relations of the obtained results to the spin-weight generating functions of ribbon tableaux introduced by \textit{A. Lascoux, B. Leclerc} and \textit{J.-Y. Thibon} [J. Math. Phys. 38, No. 2, 1041-1068 (1997; Zbl 0869.05068)] is also underlined.
