Lattice Paths, Young Tableaux, and Weight Multiplicities

Lattice Paths, Young Tableaux, and Weight Multiplicities For $${\ell \geq 1}$$ ℓ ≥ 1 and $${k \geq 2}$$ k ≥ 2 , we consider certain admissible sequences of k−1 lattice paths in a colored $${\ell \times \ell}$$ ℓ × ℓ square. We show that the number of such admissible sequences of lattice paths is given by the sum of squares of the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $${\lambda \vdash \ell}$$ λ ⊢ ℓ with $${l(\lambda) \leq k}$$ l ( λ ) ≤ k , which is also the number of (k + 1)k··· 21-avoiding permutations in $${S_\ell}$$ S ℓ . Finally, we apply this result to the representation theory of the affine Lie algebra $${\widehat{sl}(n)}$$ sl ^ ( n ) and show that this gives the multiplicity of certain maximal dominant weights in the irreducible highest weight $${\widehat{sl}(n)}$$ sl ^ ( n ) -module $${V(k \Lambda_0)}$$ V ( k Λ 0 ) . http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Combinatorics Springer Journals

Abstract

For $${\ell \geq 1}$$ ℓ ≥ 1 and $${k \geq 2}$$ k ≥ 2 , we consider certain admissible sequences of k−1 lattice paths in a colored $${\ell \times \ell}$$ ℓ × ℓ square. We show that the number of such admissible sequences of lattice paths is given by the sum of squares of the number of standard Young tableaux of shape $${\lambda \vdash \ell}$$ λ ⊢ ℓ with $${l(\lambda) \leq k}$$ l ( λ ) ≤ k , which is also the number of (k + 1)k··· 21-avoiding permutations in $${S_\ell}$$ S ℓ . Finally, we apply this result to the representation theory of the affine Lie algebra $${\widehat{sl}(n)}$$ sl ^ ( n ) and show that this gives the multiplicity of certain maximal dominant weights in the irreducible highest weight $${\widehat{sl}(n)}$$ sl ^ ( n ) -module $${V(k \Lambda_0)}$$ V ( k Λ 0 ) .
