Linked partitions and permutation tableaux

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Linked partitions are introduced by Dykema in the study of transforms in free probability theory, whereas permutation tableaux are introduced by Steingr'{i}msson and Williams in the study of totally positive Grassmannian cells. Let [n]=1,2,ldots,n. Let L(n,k) denote the set of linked partitions of [n] with k blocks, let P(n,k) denote the set of permutations of [n] with k descents, and let T(n,k) denote the set of permutation tableaux of length n with k rows. Steingr'{i}msson and Williams found a bijection between the set of permutation tableaux of length n with k rows and the set of permutations of [n] with k weak excedances. Corteel and Nadeau gave a bijection from the set of permutation tableaux of length n with k columns to the set of permutations of [n] with k descents. In this paper, we establish a bijection between L(n,k) and P(n,k1) and a bijection between L(n,k) and T(n,k). Restricting the latter bijection to noncrossing linked partitions, we find that the corresponding permutation tableaux can be characterized by pattern avoidance.
