6 Resonance in dynamical algebraic combinatorics Definition Dynamical algebraic combinatorics is the study of actions on objects important in algebraic combinatorics. Compose local actions to get interesting global actions. Toy example: (12)(23)(34)(45)(56) = (123456) Examples of interesting actions in algebraic combinatorics: Gyration on alternating sign matrices Promotion on tableaux Rowmotion on order ideals of a poset J.

7 Resonance in dynamical algebraic combinatorics Definition (Dilks, Pechenik, Striker 2015+) Let G = g be a cyclic group acting on a set X, C ω = c a cyclic group of order ω acting nontrivially on a set Y, and f : X Y a surjection. If c f (x) = f (g x) for all x X, we say the triple (X, G, f ) exhibits resonance with frequency ω. X g X f f Y c Y J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

23 Resonance of gyration The following theorem of Wieland gives a remarkable property of gyration. Theorem (B. Wieland 2000) Gyration of an FPL rotates the link pattern by an angle of 2π/2n. We reformulate this theorem into a statement of resonance. Corollary Let f be the map from an ASM thru its FPL to the link pattern. Then, (ASM n, < Gyr >, f ) exhibits resonance with frequency 2n. J.

43 Promotion and rowmotion Theorem (N. Williams and S. 2012) In any ranked poset, there is an equivariant bijection between the order ideals under rowmotion (toggle top to bottom) and promotion (toggle left to right). Promotion and rowmotion have the same orbit structure! J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

44 Partition promotion and rowmotion Theorem (A. Brouwer and A. Schrijver 1974) The order of rowmotion on J(a b) is a + b. Explanation (as a corollary of the theorem on the previous slide): Corollary (N. Williams and S. 2012) There is an equivariant bijection between the order ideals of [a] [b] under rowmotion and binary words of length a + b with n ones under rotation. {1100, 1001, 0011, 0110} {1010, 0101} J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

45 the resulting words are balanced. Figure 12 translates the boundary path matrices of Figure 11 to balanced words. We show that this bijection is equivariant, using the definition of ψ in Theorem 7.5. The first rule, ψ [ A] = A, 3,9 corresponds to the case when the first column of the boundary path matrix is (0, 0). This column 2,8 can swap with all other columns without violating the boundary path matrix condition, and so it is 3,7 moved to the end of the word under promotion. 5,7 Consider when 0,6 the first column is (1, 0) 2,6. This column can swap with (0, 0) and (1, 0) without violating the boundary path matrix condition, but it cannot swap with (0, 1) or (1, 1) The second rule, ψ [(A 1,5 1)A 2] = A 1(A 3,5 2), corresponds to when the first column is (1, 0) and the first column it encounters 0,4 that it cannot 2,4 swap with is (0, 1). In this case, the (1, 0) remains fixed, Plane partition promotion and rowmotion 4,8 Theorem (P. Cameron 1,7 and D. Fon-der-Flaass 1995) 4,6 The order of 1,5 rowmotion on J(a b 2) is a + b + 1.

Then the (1, 0) remains and the (1, 1) can swap to the right without violating the boundary path matrix condition until it reaches the first (0, 1) such Figure that 9. the On columns the left to is the [2] left [3] have [4] drawn the same as an number rc poset of 1s of height in the 2. top When and bottom there rows.

46 Plane partition resonance What can we say about the orbit structure of rowmotion on J(a b c) for a, b, c > 2? Theorem (K. Dilks, O. Pechenik, S ) (J(a b c), Row, X max D) exhibits resonance with frequency a + b + c 1. In [N. Williams S. 2012], we characterized J(a b c) in terms of boundary path matrices, b (a + b + c 1) matrices with entries in {0, 1} such that the rows each sum to a and satisfy a certain inequality. We noted that Pro traces from left to right through the columns of the matrix, swapping each pair of entries in adjacent columns and the same row that result in a matrix still satisfying the inequality. J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

47 Plane partition resonance Given I J(a b c), define X max (I ) to be the vector of length a + b + c 1 whose jth component is the maximum entry in column j of the boundary path matrix. Lemma Let I J(a b c). If X max (I ) = (x 1, x 2,..., x a+b+c 1 ), then X max (Pro(I )) is the cyclic shift (x 2,..., x a+b+c 1, x 1 ). Proposition (K. Dilks, O. Pechenik, S ) (J(a b c), Pro, X max ) exhibits resonance with frequency a + b + c 1. Let D be the toggle group element conjugating Row to Pro. Theorem (K. Dilks, O. Pechenik, S ) (J(a b c), Row, X max D) exhibits resonance with frequency a + b + c 1. J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

48 Corollary Suppose a + b + c 1 is prime and I J(a b c). Suppose there is a zero in X max (I ). Then the size of the promotion orbit of I is a multiple of a + b + c 1. Theorem (P. Cameron and D. Fon-der-Flaass 1995) If a + b + c 1 is prime and c > ab a b + 1, then the cardinality of every orbit of rowmotion on J(a b c) is a multiple of a + b + c 1. New proof: If a + b + c 1 is prime and c > ab a b + 1, then there are a total of ab ones in the boundary path matrix, but a total of a + b + c 1 > ab columns in the matrix, so there must be a column of all zeros. Thus, there is a zero in X max (I ) for any I J(a b c), and the promotion orbit is a multiple of a + b + c 1. So the orbits of rowmotion are also multiples of a + b + c 1. J.

Let T i π,v be the product of toggles t x for all elements x of P that lie on the affine hyperplane π(x), v = i. Then define promotion with respect to π and v as Pro π,v =... T 2 π,vt 1 π,vt 0 π,vt 1 π,vt 2 π,v.... Two elements of the poset that lie on the same affine hyperplane π(x), v = i cannot be part of a covering relation, so the operator T i π,v is well-defined and (T i π,v) 2 = 1. J.

Let v = (v 1, v 2, v 3,..., v n ) and w = (w 1, w 2, w 3,..., w n ), where v j, w j {±1}. Then there is an equivariant bijection between J(P) under Pro π,v and J(P) under Pro π,w. Rowmotion and 2 n 1 other promotions have the same orbit structure! J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

Let Inc q (λ) denote the set of increasing tableaux of shape λ with entries at most q. An increasing tableau in Inc 10 (4, 4, 4, 2): J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

Lemma Let T Inc q (λ). If Con(T ) = (a 1, a 2,..., a q ), then Con(K-Pro(T )) is the cyclic shift (a 2,..., a q, a 1 ). Theorem (K. Dilks, O. Pechenik, S ) (Inc q (λ), K-Pro, Con) exhibits resonance with frequency q. Corollary Suppose q is prime and T Inc q (λ) does not have full content. Then the size of the K-promotion orbit of T is a multiple of q. J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

90 Corollaries of the equivariant bijection Corollary The order of K-Pro on Inc a+b+1 (a b) is a + b + 1. Proof. Using the tri-fold symmetry, there is a K-Pro-equivariant bijection between the sets Inc a+b+1 (a b) and Inc a+b+1 (2 a).

91 A conjecture Conjecture The order of Row on J(a b 3) is a + b + 2. This is equivalent to the order of K-promotion being a + b + 2 on either Inc a+b+2 (a b) or Inc a+b+2 (3 a). We have verified conjecture for a 7 and b arbitrary. J. Striker (NDSU) Resonance February 19, / 69

Pechenik, S ) If a + b + c 1 is prime and c > 2 3 ab a b + 4 3, then the cardinality of every orbit of Row on J(a b c) is a multiple of a + b + c 1. Proof.
