Bijection of Cores

Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar

Speaker: Chris Berg, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Thu, Apr 17 2008, 12:00AM

Last year Monica Vazirani and I put a paper on the arXiv which contains a simple bijection between p-cores with first part equal to k and p-1 cores with first part less than or equal to k. I will describe this bijection in (up to) five different ways (as time permits). Joint work with Monica Vazirani and Brant Jones.
