Coxeter and Schubert combinatorics of -Involutions

Jack Chen-An Chou, Zachary Hamaker

The variety of complete quadrics is the wonderful compactification of and admits a cell decomposition into Borel orbits indexed by combinatorial objects called -invol…

Odd Shifted Parking Functions

Zachary Hamaker, Jesse Kim

Stanley recently introduced the shifted parking function symmetric function , which is the shiftification of Haiman's parking function symmetric function . The function…

Moments of permutation statistics by cycle type

Zachary Hamaker, Brendon Rhoades

Beginning with work of Zeilberger on classical pattern counts, there are a variety of structural results for moments of permutation statistics applied to random permutations. Using…

Partial permutations and character evaluations

Zachary Hamaker, Brendon Rhoades

Let and be two length sequences drawn from . We have the group algebra element $[I,J] := \sum_{w(I) = J} w \in…

Type C -Stanley symmetric functions and Kraśkiewicz-Hecke insertion

Joshua Arroyo, Zachary Hamaker, Graham Hawkes +1

We study Type C -Stanley symmetric functions, which are -theoretic extensions of the Type C Stanley symmetric functions. They are indexed by signed permutations and can be us…

Tableau formula for vexillary double Edelman--Greene coefficients

Adam Gregory, Zachary Hamaker, Tianyi Yu

Lam, Lee and Shimozono recently introduced backstable double Grothendieck polynomials to represent -theory classes of the infinite flag variety. They used them to define double…

Dual Schubert polynomials via a Cauchy identity

Zachary Hamaker

We give a combinatorial proof that Postnikov and Stanley's formula for dual Schubert polynomials in terms of weighted chains in Bruhat order is equivalent to a classical Cauchy ide…

Lenart's bijection via bumpless pipe dreams

Adam Gregory, Zachary Hamaker

Pipe dreams and bumpless pipe dreams for vexillary permutations are each known to be in bijection with certain semistandard tableaux via maps due to Lenart and Weigandt, respective…

Characters of local and regular permutation statistics

Zachary Hamaker, Brendon Rhoades

The goal of this monograph is to study the indicator function for a set of permutations mapping one finite sequence of positive integers to another from a representation theoretic,…

Three coloring via triangle counting

Zachary Hamaker, Vincent Vatter

In the first partial result toward Steinberg's now-disproved three coloring conjecture, Abbott and Zhou used a counting argument to show that every planar graph without cycles of l…

Involutions under Bruhat order and labeled Motzkin Paths

Michael Coopman, Zachary Hamaker

In this note, we introduce a statistic on Motzkin paths that describes the rank generating function of Bruhat order for involutions. Our proof relies on a bijection introduced by P…

Bijecting hidden symmetries for skew staircase shapes

Zachary Hamaker, Alejandro H. Morales, Igor Pak +2

We present a bijection between the set of standard Young tableaux of staircase minus rectangle shape, and the set of marked shifted standard Young tableaux of a certain shifted sha…

On pattern avoidance in matchings and involutions

Jonathan J. Fang, Zachary Hamaker, Justin M. Troyka

We study the relationship between two notions of pattern avoidance for involutions in the symmetric group and their restriction to fixed-point-free involutions. The first is classi…

Gröbner geometry of Schubert polynomials through ice

Zachary Hamaker, Oliver Pechenik, Anna Weigandt

The geometric naturality of Schubert polynomials and their combinatorial pipe dream representations was established by Knutson and Miller (2005) via antidiagonal Gröbner degenerati…

Involution pipe dreams

Zachary Hamaker, Eric Marberg, Brendan Pawlowski

Involution Schubert polynomials represent cohomology classes of -orbit closures in the complete flag variety, where is the orthogonal or symplectic group. We show they also…

Derivatives of Schubert polynomials and proof of a determinant conjecture of Stanley

Zachary Hamaker, Oliver Pechenik, David E Speyer +1

We study the action of a differential operator on Schubert polynomials. Using this action, we first give a short new proof of an identity of I. Macdonald (1991). We then prove a de…

Wronskian Appell Polynomials and Symmetric Functions

Niels Bonneux, Zachary Hamaker, John Stembridge +1

We study Wronskians of Appell polynomials indexed by integer partitions. These families of polynomials appear in rational solutions of certain Painlevé equations and in the study o…

Pattern avoidance and quasisymmetric functions

Zachary Hamaker, Brendan Pawlowski, Bruce Sagan

Given a set of permutations Pi, let S_n(Pi) denote the set of permutations in the symmetric group S_n that avoid every element of Pi in the sense of pattern avoidance. Given a subs…

Weak order and descents for monotone triangles

Zachary Hamaker, Victor Reiner

Monotone triangles are a rich extension of permutations that biject with alternating sign matrices. The notions of weak order and descent sets for permutations are generalized here…

Atoms for signed permutations

Zachary Hamaker, Eric Marberg

There is a natural analogue of weak Bruhat order on the involutions in any Coxeter group. The saturated chains of intervals in this order correspond to reduced words for a certain…

Fixed-point-free involutions and Schur P-positivity

Zachary Hamaker, Eric Marberg, Brendan Pawlowski

The orbits of the symplectic group acting on the type A flag variety are indexed by the fixed-point-free involutions in a finite symmetric group. The cohomology classes of the clos…

Schur P-positivity and involution Stanley symmetric functions

Zachary Hamaker, Eric Marberg, Brendan Pawlowski

The involution Stanley symmetric functions are the stable limits of the analogues of Schubert polynomials for the orbits of the orthogonal group in the flag variety. Th…

Doppelgängers: Bijections of Plane Partitions

Zachary Hamaker, Rebecca Patrias, Oliver Pechenik +1

We say two posets are "doppelgängers" if they have the same number of -partitions of each height . We give a uniform framework for bijective proofs that posets are doppelgäng…
