Title: A Crystal on Decreasing Factorizations in the 0-Hecke Monoid
We introduce a type $A$ crystal structure on decreasing factorizations of fully-commu\-tative elements in the 0-Hecke monoid which we call $\star$-crystal. This crystal is a $K$-theoretic generalization of the crystal on decreasing factorizations in the symmetric group of the first and last author. We prove that under the residue map the $\star$-crystal intertwines with the crystal on set-valued tableaux recently introduced by Monical, Pechenik and Scrimshaw. We also define a new insertion from decreasing factorization to pairs of semistandard Young tableaux and prove several properties, such as its relation to the Hecke insertion and the uncrowding algorithm. The new insertion also intertwines with the crystal operators.  more » « less

  1. We introduce a type A crystal structure on decreasing factorizations on 321-avoiding elements in the 0-Hecke monoid which we call *-crystal. This crystal is a K-theoretic generalization of the crystal on decreasing factorizations in the symmetric group of the first and last author. We prove that under the residue map the *-crystal intertwines with the crystal on set-valued tableaux recently introduced by Monical, Pechenik and Scrimshaw. We also define a new insertion from decreasing factorization to pairs of semistandard Young tableaux and prove several properties, such as its relation to the Hecke insertion and the uncrowding algorithm. The new insertion also intertwines with the crystal operators.

  3. Abstract Whereas set-valued tableaux are the combinatorial objects associated to stable Grothendieck polynomials, hook-valued tableaux are associated with stable canonical Grothendieck polynomials. In this paper, we define a novel uncrowding algorithm for hook-valued tableaux. The algorithm “uncrowds” the entries in the arm of the hooks, and yields a set-valued tableau and a column-flagged increasing tableau. We prove that our uncrowding algorithm intertwines with crystal operators. An alternative uncrowding algorithm that “uncrowds” the entries in the leg instead of the arm of the hooks is also given. As an application of uncrowding, we obtain various expansions of the canonical Grothendieck polynomials.

    Abstract. In this paper, we consider the star operations for (graded) affine Hecke algebras which preserve certain natural filtrations. We show that, up to inner conjugation, there are only two such star operations for the graded Hecke algebra: the first, denoted ⋆, corresponds to the usual star operation from reductive p-adic groups, and the second, denoted • can be regarded as the analogue of the compact star operation of a real group considered by [ALTV]. We explain how the star operation • appears naturally in the Iwahori- spherical setting of p-adic groups via the endomorphism algebras of Bernstein projectives. We also prove certain results about the signature of •-invariant forms and, in particular, about •-unitary simple modules.

  5. The classical hook-length formula counts the number of standard tableaux of straight shapes, but there is no known product formula for skew shapes. Okounkov– Olshanski (1996) and Naruse (2014) found new positive formulas for the number of standard Young tableaux of a skew shape. We prove various properties of the Okounkov– Olshanski formula: a reformulation similar to the Naruse formula, determinantal formulas for the number of terms, and a q-analogue extending the formula to reverse plane partitions, which complements work by Chen and Stanley for semistandard tableaux.
