Alex Yong UIUC	Tue 16 Apr 2013, 2:00pm Discrete Math Seminar MATH 126	Jeu de taquin, increasing tableaux, and longest increasing subsequences of words
MATH 126 Tue 16 Apr 2013, 2:00pm-3:30pm Abstract I will describe a theory of jeu de taquin for increasing tableaux, extending Schutzenberger's work on standard Young tableaux. Our original motivation came from Schubert calculus. However, I'll also describe a specific connection to the study of longest increasing sequences (LIS) of words. This is joint work with Hugh Thomas (U. New Brunswick) and Ofer Zeitouni (U. Minnesota). hide
