Combinatorics and Algebra Seminar-Enumeration of barely set-valued tableaux and plane partitions

Title:  Enumeration of barely set-valued tableaux and plane partitions

Speaker: Sam Hopkins, Howard University
Date and time: Friday, February 25, 3–4 pm
Place: Phillips 736

Abstract: The Hook Length Formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of given shape is a deservedly celebrated result in modern enumerative and algebraic combinatorics. There is great interest in obtaining product formulas for the enumeration of other classes of tableaux, and other related 2D arrays of numbers like plane partitions. We will survey recent work which gives product formulas (and even q-analogs) for counting certain "barely set-valued" arrays.
