Abstract:
Jeu de taquin is a well-known operation on standard Young tableaux that
may be used to define an equivalence relation on tableaux of any fixed
rectangular shape. Via the well-studied bijection between two-row
standard Young tableaux and non-crossing matchings, jeu de taquin is
known to correspond to rotation of the associated matching by one
strand. In this paper, we adapt jeu de taquin to standard set-valued
Young tableaux a generalization of standard Young tableaux where cells
contain unordered sets of integers. Our modified jeu de taquin
operation is shown to correspond to to rotation of various classes of
non-crossing matchings by one strand. In the case corresponding to
k-equal non-crossing matchings, closed formulas are derived for the
number of jeu de taquin equivalence classes of standard set-valued
Young tableaux.
