The {\\sf Ish hyperplane arrangement} Ish(n) was introduced by Armstrong in the study of diagonal harmonics. Armstrong and Rhoades discovered a deep combinatorial similarity between the Shi and Ish arrangements. We solve a collection of problems posed by Armstrong and Armstrong-Rhoades by giving bijections between regions of Shi(n) and Ish(n) which preserve certain statistics. Our bijections generalize to the `deleted arrangements' Shi(G) and Ish(G) which depend on a subgraph G of the complete graph K_n on n vertices. The key tools in our bijections are the introduction of an Ish analog of parking functions called {\\sf rook words} and a new instance of the cycle lemma of enumerative combinatorics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-24T18:34:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A19" ], "keywords": [ "ish arrangements", "bijections", "shi hyperplane arrangement", "affine symmetric group", "deep combinatorial similarity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.6523L" } } }
