We describe the standard monomial basis of $R_{n,k}^{(r)}$ and use the combinatorial notion of the {em coinversion code} of an ordered set partition to reprove and generalize some results of Haglund et. al. in a more direct way.

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if and only if $xy$ is an edge in $E$. Thus, edges of $G$ are defined by avoiding the consecutive pattern 11 in a word representing $G$, that is, by avoiding $xx$ and $yy$. \u0000In 2017, Jeff Remmel has introduced the notion of a $k$-11-representable graph for a non-negative integer $k$, which generalizes the notion of a word-representable graph. Under this representation, edges of $G$ are defined by containing at most $k$ occurrences of the consecutive pattern 11 in a word representing $G$. Thus, word-representable graphs are precisely $0$-11-representable graphs. In this paper, we study properties of $k$-11-representable graphs for $kgeq 1$, in particular, showing that the class of word-representable graphs, studied intensively in the literature, is contained strictly in the class of 1-11-representable graphs. Another particular result that we prove is the fact that the class of interval graphs is precisely the class of 1-11-representable graphs that can be represented by uniform words containing two copies of each letter. This result can be compared with the known fact that the class of circle graphs is precisely the class of 0-11-representable graphs that can be represented by uniform words containing two copies of each letter. Also, one of our key results in this paper is the fact that any graph is $k$-11-representable for some $kgeq 0$.","PeriodicalId":44683,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Combinatorics","volume":"1997 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88189461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is called the Delta Conjecture. It was recently proved in cite{GHRY} that the Delta Conjecture is true when either $q=0$ or $t=0$. In this paper we complete a work initiated by Remmel whose initial aim was to explore the symmetric function $Delta_{s_nu} e_n$ by the same methods developed in cite{GHRY}. Our first need here is a method for constructing a symmetric function that may be viewed as a \"combinatorial side\" for the symmetric function $Delta_{s_nu} e_n$ for $t=0$. Based on what was discovered in cite{GHRY} we conjectured such a construction mechanism. We prove here that in the case that $nu=(m-k,1^k)$ with $1le m< n$ the equality of the two sides can be established by the same methods used in cite{GHRY}. While this work was in progress, we learned that Rhodes and Shimozono had previously constructed also such a \"combinatorial side\". Very recently, Jim Haglund was able to prove that their conjecture follows from the results in cite{GHRY}. We show here that an appropriate modification of the Haglund arguments proves that the polynomial $Delta_{s_nu}e_n$ as well as the Rhoades-Shimozono \"combinatorial side\" have a plethystic evaluation with hook Schur function expansion.","PeriodicalId":44683,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Combinatorics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84760217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The game ends when all vertices are colored. The score of the game is the sum of the sizes of all sets marked by Lister. The goal of Painter is to minimize the score, while Lister tries to maximize it. We provide strategies for Painter on various classes of graphs whose vertices can be partitioned into a bounded number of sets inducing forests, including $k$-degenerate, acyclically $k$-colorable, planar, and outerplanar graphs. For example, we show that on an $n$-vertex graph $G$, Painter can keep the score to at most $frac{3k+4}4n$ when $G$ is $k$-degenerate, $3.9857n$ when $G$ is acyclically $5$-colorable, $3n$ when $G$ is planar with a Hamiltonian dual, $frac{8n+3m}5$ when $G$ is $4$-colorable with $m$ edges (hence $3.4n$ when $G$ is planar), and $frac73n$ when $G$ is outerplanar.","PeriodicalId":44683,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Combinatorics","volume":"218 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76969642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interpretation differs from similar ones for a different Hopf structure on hypergraphs provided recently by Aguiar and Ardila. Furthermore, making use of the tools and definitions developed here regarding orientations of hypergraphs we provide a characterization of hypergraphs giving rise to simple hypergraphic polytopes in terms of acyclic orientations of the hypergraph.
