Plactic monoids: a braided approach

Abstract: Young tableaux carry an associative product, described by the Schensted algorithm. They thus form a monoid mathbfPl, called emph{plactic}. It is central in numerous combinatorial and algebraic applications. In this paper, the tableaux product is shown to be completely determined by a braiding sigma on the (much simpler!) set of columns mathbfCol. Here a emph{braiding} is a set-theoretic solution to the Yang--Baxter equation. As an application, we identify the Hochschild cohomology of mathbfPl, which resists classical approaches, with the more accessible braided cohomology of (mathbfCol,sigma). The cohomological dimension of mathbfPl is obtained as a corollary. Also, the braiding~sigma is proved to commute with the classical crystal reflection operators~si.
