Abstract: Affine Weyl groups and their parabolic quotients are used extensively as indexing sets for objects in combinatorics, representation theory, algebraic geometry, and number theory. Moreover, in the classical Lie types we can conveniently realize the elements of these quotients via intuitive geometric and combinatorial models such as abaci, alcoves, coroot lattice points, core partitions, and bounded partitions. Berg, Jones, and Vazirani described a bijection between n-cores with first part equal to k and (n-1)-cores with first part less than or equal to k, and they interpret this bijection in terms of these other combinatorial models for the quotient of the affine symmetric group by the finite symmetric group. In this paper we discuss how to generalize the bijection of Berg-Jones-Vazirani to parabolic quotients of affine Weyl groups in type C. We develop techniques using the associated affine hyperplane arrangement to interpret this bijection geometrically as a projection of alcoves onto the hyperplane containing their coroot lattice points. We are thereby able to analyze this bijective projection in the language of various additional combinatorial models developed by Hanusa and Jones, such as abaci, core partitions, and canonical reduced expressions in the Coxeter group.

Review text

\textit{C. Berg} et al. [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 116, No. 8, 1344--1360 (2009; Zbl 1183.05089)] gave several interpretations of the bijection between \(n\)-cores with first part equal to \(k\) and \((n-1)\) cores with first part less than or equal to \(k\) presented in [\textit{C. Berg} and \textit{M. Vazirani}, Electron. J. Comb. 15, No. 1, Research Paper R130, 23 p. (2008; Zbl 1180.05123)]. In this paper, the authors give a generalization of the results by Berg et al. [loc. cit.] to the case of Lie type C. They analyze the bijection for Lie type C in the language of various combinatorial models such as abaci, core partitions, alcove walks and canonical reduced expressions in the Coxeter group.
