# Ribbon Shaped Tableaux¶

class sage.combinat.ribbon_shaped_tableau.RibbonShapedTableau(parent, t)

A ribbon shaped tableau.

For the purposes of this class, a ribbon shaped tableau is a skew tableau whose shape is a skew partition which:

• has at least one cell in row $$1$$;

• has at least one cell in column $$1$$;

• has exactly one cell in each of $$q$$ consecutive diagonals, for some nonnegative integer $$q$$.

A ribbon is given by a list of the rows from top to bottom.

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = RibbonShapedTableau([[None, None, None, 2, 3], [None, 1, 4, 5], [3, 2]]); x
[[None, None, None, 2, 3], [None, 1, 4, 5], [3, 2]]
sage: x.pp()
.  .  .  2  3
.  1  4  5
3  2
sage: x.shape()
[5, 4, 2] / [3, 1]


The entries labeled by None correspond to the inner partition. Using None is optional; the entries will be shifted accordingly.

sage: x = RibbonShapedTableau([[2,3],[1,4,5],[3,2]]); x.pp()
.  .  .  2  3
.  1  4  5
3  2

height()

Return the height of self.

The height is given by the number of rows in the outer partition.

EXAMPLES:

sage: RibbonShapedTableau([[2,3],[1,4,5]]).height()
2

spin()

Return the spin of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: RibbonShapedTableau([[2,3],[1,4,5]]).spin()
1/2

width()

Return the width of the ribbon.

This is given by the length of the longest row in the outer partition.

EXAMPLES:

sage: RibbonShapedTableau([[2,3],[1,4,5]]).width()
4
sage: RibbonShapedTableau([]).width()
0

class sage.combinat.ribbon_shaped_tableau.RibbonShapedTableaux(category=None)

The set of all ribbon shaped tableaux.

Element

alias of RibbonShapedTableau

from_shape_and_word(shape, word)

Return the ribbon corresponding to the given ribbon shape and word.

EXAMPLES:

sage: RibbonShapedTableaux().from_shape_and_word([1,3],[1,3,3,7])
[[None, None, 1], [3, 3, 7]]

options(*get_value, **set_value)

Sets the global options for elements of the tableau, skew_tableau, and tableau tuple classes. The defaults are for tableau to be displayed as a list, latexed as a Young diagram using the English convention.

OPTIONS:

• ascii_art – (default: repr) Controls the ascii art output for tableaux

• compact – minimal length ascii art

• repr – display using the diagram string representation

• table – display as a table

• convention – (default: English) Sets the convention used for displaying tableaux and partitions

• English – use the English convention

• French – use the French convention

• display – (default: list) Controls the way in which tableaux are printed

• array – alias for diagram

• compact – minimal length string representation

• diagram – display as Young diagram (similar to pp()

• ferrers_diagram – alias for diagram

• list – print tableaux as lists

• young_diagram – alias for diagram

• latex – (default: diagram) Controls the way in which tableaux are latexed

• array – alias for diagram

• diagram – as a Young diagram

• ferrers_diagram – alias for diagram

• list – as a list

• young_diagram – alias for diagram

• notation – alternative name for convention

Note

Changing the convention for tableaux also changes the convention for partitions.

If no parameters are set, then the function returns a copy of the options dictionary.

EXAMPLES:

sage: T = Tableau([[1,2,3],[4,5]])
sage: T
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]]
sage: Tableaux.options.display="array"
sage: T
1  2  3
4  5
sage: Tableaux.options.convention="french"
sage: T
4  5
1  2  3


Changing the convention for tableaux also changes the convention for partitions and vice versa:

sage: P = Partition([3,3,1])
sage: print(P.ferrers_diagram())
*
***
***
sage: Partitions.options.convention="english"
sage: print(P.ferrers_diagram())
***
***
*
sage: T
1  2  3
4  5


The ASCII art can also be changed:

sage: t = Tableau([[1,2,3],[4,5]])
sage: ascii_art(t)
1  2  3
4  5
sage: Tableaux.options.ascii_art = "table"
sage: ascii_art(t)
+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
+---+---+---+
| 4 | 5 |
+---+---+
sage: Tableaux.options.ascii_art = "compact"
sage: ascii_art(t)
|1|2|3|
|4|5|
sage: Tableaux.options._reset()

INPUT:

• shape – (optional) the composition shape of the rows

Element

alias of RibbonShapedTableau

from_permutation(p)

Return a standard ribbon of size len(p) from a permutation p. The lengths of each row are given by the distance between the descents of the permutation p.

EXAMPLES:

sage: import sage.combinat.ribbon_shaped_tableau as rst
sage: [StandardRibbonShapedTableaux().from_permutation(p) for p in Permutations(3)]
[[[1, 2, 3]],
[[None, 2], [1, 3]],
