International audience A bijective proof for Stanley's hook-content formula for the generating function for column-strict reverse plane partitions of a given shape is given that does not involve the involution principle of Garsia and Milne. It is based on the Hillman-Grassl algorithm and Schützenberger's \emphjeu de taquin.

International audience Cylindric plane partitions may be thought of as a natural generalization of reverse plane partitions. A generating series for the enumeration of cylindric plane partitions was recently given by Borodin. As in the reverse plane partition case, the right hand side of this identity admits a simple factorization form in terms of the "hook lengths'' of the individual boxes in the underlying shape. The first result of this paper is a new bijective proof of Borodin's identity which makes use of Fomin's growth diagram framework for generalized RSK correspondences. The second result of this paper is a $(q,t)$-analog of Borodin's identity which extends previous work by Okada in the reverse plane partition case. The third result of this paper is an explicit combinatorial interpretation of the Macdonald weight occurring in the $(q,t)$-analog in terms of the non-intersecting lattice path model for cylindric plane partitions. Les partitions planes cylindriques sont une généralisation naturelle des partitions planes renversées. Une série génératrice pour énumération des partitions planes cylindriques a été donnée récemment par Borodin. Comme dans le cas des partitions planes renversées, la partie droite de cette identité peut être factoriser en terme de "longueur d’équerres'' des carrés dans la forme sous-jacente. Le premier résultat de cet article est une nouvelle preuve bijective de l'identité de Borodin qui utilise le cadre de "diagramme de croissance'' de Fomin pour la correspondance de RSK généralisée. Le deuxième résultat de cette article est une $(q,t)$-déformation d'identité de Borodin qui généralise un résultat de Okada dans le cas des partitions planes renversées. Le troisième résultat de cet article est une formule combinatoire explicite pour le poids de Macdonald qui utilise le modèle des chemins non-intersectant pour les partitions planes cylindriques.

International audience We compute the generating function of some families of reduced Kronecker coefficients. We give a combi- natorial interpretation for these coefficients in terms of plane partitions. This unexpected relation allows us to check that the saturation hypothesis holds for the reduced Kronecker coefficients of our families. We also compute the quasipolynomial that govern these families, specifying the degree and period. Moving to the setting of Kronecker co- efficients, these results imply some observations related to the rate of growth experienced by the families of Kronecker coefficients associated to the reduced Kronecker coefficients already studied.

International audience A combinatorial expansion of the Hall-Littlewood functions into the Schur basis of symmetric functions was first given by Lascoux and Schützenberger, with their discovery of the charge statistic. A combinatorial expansion of stable Grassmannian Grothendieck polynomials into monomials was first given by Buch, using set-valued tableaux. The dual basis of the stable Grothendieck polynomials was given a combinatorial expansion into monomials by Lam and Pylyavskyy using reverse plane partitions. We generalize charge to set-valued tableaux and use all of these combinatorial ideas to give a nice expansion of Hall-Littlewood polynomials into the dual Grothendieck basis. \par En associant une charge à un tableau, une formule combinatoire donnant le développement des polynômes de Hall-Littlewood en termes des fonctions de Schur a été obtenue par Lascoux et Schützenberger. Une formule combinatoire donnant le développement des polynômes de Grothendieck Grassmanniens stables en termes des fonctions monomiales a quant à elle été obtenue par Buch à l'aide de tableaux à valeurs sur des ensembles. Finalement, une formule faisant intervenir des partitions planaires inverses a été obtenue par Lam et Pylyavskyy pour donner le développement de la base duale aux polynômes de Grothendieck stables en termes de monômes. Nous généralisons le concept de charge aux tableaux à valeurs sur des ensembles et, en nous servant de toutes ces notions combinatoires, nous obtenons une formule élégante donnant le développement des polynômes de Hall-Littlewood en termes de la base de Grothendieck duale.

International audience In this paper, we introduce therhombic alternative tableaux, whose weight generating functions providecombinatorial formulae to compute the steady state probabilities of the two-species ASEP. In the ASEP, there aretwo species of particles, oneheavyand onelight, on a one-dimensional finite lattice with open boundaries, and theparametersα,β, andqdescribe the hopping probabilities. The rhombic alternative tableaux are enumerated by theLah numbers, which also enumerate certainassembl ́ees of permutations. We describe a bijection between the rhombicalternative tableaux and these assembl ́ees. We also provide an insertion algorithm that gives a weight generatingfunction for the assemb ́ees. Combined, these results give a bijective proof for the weight generating function for therhombic alternative tableaux.

International audience Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We put ASMs into a larger context by studying the order ideals of subposets of a certain poset, proving that they are in bijection with a variety of interesting combinatorial objects, including ASMs, totally symmetric self―complementary plane partitions (TSSCPPs), Catalan objects, tournaments, semistandard Young tableaux, and totally symmetric plane partitions. We use this perspective to prove an expansion of the tournament generating function as a sum over TSSCPPs which is analogous to a known formula involving ASMs. Les matrices à signe alternant (ASMs) sont des matrices carrées dont les coefficients sont 0,1 ou -1, telles que dans chaque ligne et chaque colonne la somme des entrées vaut 1 et les entrées non nulles ont des signes qui alternent. Nous incluons les ASMs dans un cadre plus vaste, en étudiant les idéaux des sous-posets d'un certain poset, dont nous prouvons qu'ils sont en bijection avec de nombreux objets combinatoires intéressants, tels que les ASMs, les partitions planes totalement symétriques autocomplémentaires (TSSCPPs), des objets comptés par les nombres de Catalan, les tournois, les tableaux semistandards, ou les partitions planes totalement symétriques. Nous utilisons ce point de vue pour démontrer un développement de la série génératrice des tournois en une somme portant sur les TSSCPPs, analogue à une formule déjà connue faisant appara\^ıtre les ASMs.

International audience We consider a new kind of straight and shifted plane partitions/Young tableaux — ones whose diagrams are no longer of partition shape, but rather Young diagrams with boxes erased from their upper right ends. We find formulas for the number of standard tableaux in certain cases, namely a shifted staircase without the box in its upper right corner, i.e. truncated by a box, a rectangle truncated by a staircase and a rectangle truncated by a square minus a box. The proofs involve finding the generating function of the corresponding plane partitions using interpretations and formulas for sums of restricted Schur functions and their specializations. The number of standard tableaux is then found as a certain limit of this function. Nous considérons un nouveau type de partitions planes, ou de tableaux de Young, droits ou décalés, obtenus en privant leurs diagrammes de certaines cellules en haut à droite, et dans certains cas nous trouvons des formules d'énumération pour les tableaux standard. Les preuves impliquent le calcul de la fonction génératrice pour les partitions planes correspondantes, en utilisant des interprétations et des formules pour les sommes de fonctions de Schur restreintes et leurs spécialisations. Le nombre de tableaux standard est alors obtenu comme une certaine limite de cette fonction.

International audience A new triple product formulae for plane partitions with bounded size of parts is derived from a combinato- rial interpretation of biorthogonal polynomials in terms of lattice paths. Biorthogonal polynomials which generalize the little q-Laguerre polynomials are introduced to derive a new triple product formula which recovers the classical generating function in a triple product by MacMahon and generalizes the trace-type generating functions in double products by Stanley and Gansner.

International audience The dual stable Grothendieck polynomials are a deformation of the Schur functions, originating in the study of the K-theory of the Grassmannian. We generalize these polynomials by introducing a countable family of additional parameters such that the generalization still defines symmetric functions. We outline two self-contained proofs of this fact, one of which constructs a family of involutions on the set of reverse plane partitions generalizing the Bender-Knuth involutions on semistandard tableaux, whereas the other classifies the structure of reverse plane partitions with entries 1 and 2.

Combinatorics International audience A composition is a sequence of positive integers, called parts, having a fixed sum. By an m-congruence succession, we will mean a pair of adjacent parts x and y within a composition such that x=y(modm). Here, we consider the problem of counting the compositions of size n according to the number of m-congruence successions, extending recent results concerning successions on subsets and permutations. A general formula is obtained, which reduces in the limiting case to the known generating function formula for the number of Carlitz compositions. Special attention is paid to the case m=2, where further enumerative results may be obtained by means of combinatorial arguments. Finally, an asymptotic estimate is provided for the number of compositions of size n having no m-congruence successions.
