Abstract

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible crystallographic root system with Weyl group $W$, coroot lattice $\check{Q}$ and Coxeter number $h$. Recently the second named author defined a uniform $W$-isomorphism $\zeta$ between the finite torus $\check{Q}/(mh+1)\check{Q}$ and the set of non-nesting parking functions $\operatorname{Park}^{(m)}(\Phi)$. If $\Phi$ is of type $A_{n-1}$ and $m=1$ this map is equivalent to a map defined on labelled Dyck paths that arises in the study of the Hilbert series of the space of diagonal harmonics. In this paper we investigate the case $m=1$ for the other infinite families of root systems ($B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$). In each type we define models for the finite torus and for the set of non-nesting parking functions in terms of labelled lattice paths. The map $\zeta$ can then be viewed as a map between these combinatorial objects. Our work entails new bijections between (square) lattice paths and ballot paths.

Summary

Introduction

The combinatorial objects Vert(An−1) and Diag(An−1) may be viewed as corresponding to the type An−1 cases of more general algebraic objects associated to any irreducible crystallographic root system Φ These are, respectively, the finite torus Q/(h + 1)Qand the set of non-nesting parking functions Park(Φ) of Φ. We define the combinatorial bijections ζB, ζC , and ζD which correspond to the uniform bijection ζ in those types Besides their meaning in the theory of reflection groups these maps can be appreciated from a purely combinatorial point of view. As such ζB and ζC are new bijections between lattice paths in an n × n-square and ballot paths with 2n steps, both of which are well-known to be counted by the central binomial coefficients. An extended abstract [ST15] of this paper containing mostly the results of Section 4 has appeared in the conference proceedings of FPSAC 2015 in Daejeon
