Plane partitions and rowmotion on rectangular and trapezoidal posets

Abstract

We define a birational map between labelings of a rectangular poset and its associated trapezoidal poset. This map tropicalizes to a bijection between the plane partitions of these posets of fixed height, giving a new bijective proof of a result by Proctor. We also show that this map is equivariant with respect to birational rowmotion, resolving a conjecture of Williams and implying that birational rowmotion on trapezoidal posets has finite order.
