Crossings and nestings in matchings of [2n]
� (cr2, ne2) are symmetric! e.g. cr2 ne2
2 0 1 1 1 1 0 2

# noncrossing matchings of [2n] = # nonnesting matchings of [2n]
k-crossings/nestings
February 2014
Conjecture: #Matchings of [2n] with no k-crossings = # Matchings of [2n] with no k-nestings
Theorem [Chen, Deng, Du] # matchings of [2n] with no 3-crossings = # matching of [2n] with no 3-nestings = # pairs of noncrossing Dyck paths
Crossing and nesting number
� For a matching M, cr(M)=max{ k: M has a k-crossing} ne(M)=max{k: M has a k-nesting }
Goal: symmetry between cr and ne
February 2014
# k-crossing and # k-nesting: not symmetric How about “maximal crossing” and “maximal nesting”?
Main result on Matchings Theorem [Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley & Y, 07] The pair (cr(M), ne(M)) has a symmetric joint distribution over all matchings on [2n].

Corollary.
# matchings with no k-crossing = # matchings with no k-nesting

Theorem [Stanley & Sundaram’90] There is a bijection between matchings of [2n] and oscillating tableaux of length 2n.
� It is realized by using standard Young tableaux and applying the RSK algorithm.
February 2014
Theorem [CDDSY] Taking conjugation in the tableaux exchanges cr(M) and ne(M).
Set Partitions of [n]
� A graphical representation π= {1,4, 5, 7} {2,6} {3} � Theorem. [CDDSY] (cr(¼), ne(¼)) has a symmetric distribution over all partitions of [n].

Results about k-triangulation � [Capoyleas & Pach’92] k-triangulations of an n-gon has at most k(2n-2k-1) lines. � [Dress, Koolen & Moulton’02] maximal k-triangulation always has k(2n-2k-1) lines � [Jonsson’05] #maximal k-triangulations =a determinant of Catalan numbers.

Stack polyominoes
February 2014
[Jonsson’05, Jonsson & Welker’07]: The number of 01- fillings with m nonzero entries that avoid the matrix Jk depends only on the size of the columns, not on the ordering of the columns.

[Rubey’11]: The number of 01- fillings with m nonzero entries that avoid the matrix Jk depends only on the size of the columns, not on the ordering of the columns.

2: k-noncrossing vs k-nonnesting
Problem: # fillings with no k-crossing = # fillings with no k-nesting Method: Start with a filling with no k-crossing, then replace every appearance of k-nesting by other patterns. � [Backelin, West, Xin’07] for 01-fillings of
Ferrers diagrams � [de Mier’07] for multi-graphs with fixed
degree sequences February 2014
It applies to other patterns.
� Both papers compared patterns Jk and
� One can get more Wilf-equivalent pairs.

Example 3. The major index
� For a word a1 a2 … an , a descent is a position i such that ai > ai+1.
� maj(w) = ∑ { i : i 2 DES(w) }. � [MacMahon’1916] The major index is
equa-distributed to inv(w) over words.

February 2014
[Chen, Poznanovik, Y & Yang’ 10] The major index can be extended to 01-fillings of moon polyominoes, which has the same distribution as ne2.
Foata’s map Φ with inv(Φ(w))=maj(w)
� Recursive Definition: ◦ If w has length 1, Φ(w)=w.
◦ Otherwise, w= w’ a, then Φ(w) = γa(Φ (w’)) a

Many transformations!
� [CPYY] Foata-type transformations can be defined on fillings of left-aligned stack polyominoes which carry maj to ne2
