The Robinson-Schensted correspondence and \(A 2\)-web bases




Abstract: We study natural bases for two constructions of the irreducible representation of the symmetric group corresponding to [n,n,n]: the {em reduced web} basis associated to Kuperberg's combinatorial description of the spider category; and the {em left cell basis} for the left cell construction of Kazhdan and Lusztig. In the case of [n,n], the spider category is the Temperley-Lieb category; reduced webs correspond to planar matchings, which are equivalent to left cell bases. This paper compares the images of these bases under classical maps: the {em Robinson-Schensted algorithm} between permutations and Young tableaux and {em Khovanov-Kuperberg's bijection} between Young tableaux and reduced webs. One main result uses Vogan's generalized au-invariant to uncover a close structural relationship between the web basis and the left cell basis. Intuitively, generalized au-invariants refine the data of the inversion set of a permutation. We define generalized au-invariants intrinsically for Kazhdan-Lusztig left cell basis elements and for webs. We then show that the generalized au-invariant is preserved by these classical maps. Thus, our result allows one to interpret Khovanov-Kuperberg's bijection as an analogue of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Despite all of this, our second main result proves that the reduced web and left cell bases are inequivalent; that is, these bijections are not S3n-equivariant maps.
