Weighted file placements on Ferrers boards

DefinitionCells of a Ferrers board#✓fully proved

For a list \(b = (b_1, \ldots, b_n)\) of natural numbers, the cells of the Ferrers board with column heights \(b\) are the pairs \((i, r)\) of natural numbers with \(i < n\) and \(r < b_{i+1}\); columns and rows are numbered from \(0\), so column \(i\) has height \(b_{i+1}\).

Let \(m \ge 1\) and let \(B = (b_1, \dots, b_n)\) be a Ferrers board, that is \(b_1 \le \dots \le b_n\). Write \(\lfloor b \rfloor_m = m \lfloor b/m \rfloor\) for the largest multiple of \(m\) that is at most \(b\), and \(\rho_i = b_i - \lfloor b_i \rfloor_m\). The zone of column \(i\) is the set \(z\) of columns \(k\) with \(\lfloor b_k \rfloor_m = \lfloor b_i \rfloor_m\) (a maximal run of consecutive columns, since the heights increase weakly), and \(\rho_z = \sum_{k \in z} \rho_k\). Column \(i\) is last in its zone when \(i = n\) or \(\lfloor b_{i+1} \rfloor_m \ne \lfloor b_i \rfloor_m\). Let \(\varepsilon_i = \rho_z\), for \(z\) the zone of \(i\), if column \(i\) is last in its zone, and \(\varepsilon_i = 0\) otherwise. Then for every integer \(x\),

TheoremLevel-number factorization of the \(m\)-level rook polynomial#●ready to prove

Let \(m \ge 1\) and let \(B = (b_1, \dots, b_n)\) be a Ferrers board, that is \(b_1 \le \dots \le b_n\), with \(b_i \le mn\) for every \(i\). Number the rows from \(0\) at the bottom, so that column \(i\) has the cells in rows \(0, \dots, b_i - 1\), and for \(1 \le j \le n\) let \(l_j\) be the number of cells of \(B\) whose row \(r\) satisfies \(\lfloor r/m \rfloor = n - j\) (the \(j\)-th level from the top). Then for every integer \(x\),

\[ \sum_{k=0}^{n} r_{k,m}(B)\, x\downarrow_{n-k,m} = \prod_{j=1}^{n} \bigl(x + l_j - m(j-1)\bigr), \]

The bound \(b_i \le mn\) makes \(B\) lie in \(n\) levels, as in the paper's setting; without it the formula fails (\(m = 1\), \(B = (2)\)).

TheoremWeighted file numbers equal level rook numbers on singleton boards#●ready to prove

Let \(m \ge 1\) and let \(B\) be a singleton board for \(m\). Then for every \(k \in \mathbb{N}\) the \(k\)-th \(m\)-weighted file placement number of \(B\) equals its \(k\)-th \(m\)-level rook number: \(f_{k,m}(B) = r_{k,m}(B)\).

Equivalently, the \(m\)-weights of the file placements with \(k\) cells that are not \(m\)-level rook placements sum to \(0\). The paper prints the corollary as the polynomial identity \(\sum_k f_{k,m}(B)\, x\downarrow_{n-k,m} = \sum_k r_{k,m}(B)\, x\downarrow_{n-k,m}\), where \(n\) is the number of columns and \(x\downarrow_{j,m} = \prod_{i\lt j} (x - mi)\); it follows by summing, and the paper derives it from this cancellation for each \(k\).
