Monica Maus featured in the Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar
Wednesday, April 29 | 3-3:50 p.m. | Bridges 268
Featuring MSUM student Monica Maus
The Mathematics Undergraduate Seminar Series presents a seminar by Monica Maus on “Young Tableaux and the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth Correspondence”.
Young Tableaux are combinatorial objects that make appearances in a range of mathematical topics. We will discuss what a Young tableaux is and how to create them, primarily by using Schensted’s bumping algorithm. We will also discuss the word of a tableaux and how Schensted’s bumping algorithm can be used on words. Furthermore, we will discuss how we can build a tableau from a given word. The Robinson-Schensted correspondence will then be discussed and how it relates to pairs of tableaux, which will be generalized to the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence.
