This thesis gives methods to obtain the right and left keys by inspection of the semistandard Young tableau. Given a partition $\\lambda$ and a Weyl group element $w$, there is a semistandard Young tableau $Y_\\lambda(w)$ of shape $\\lambda$ that corresponds to $w$. The Demazure character for $\\lambda$ and $w$ is known to be the sum of the weights of all tableaux whose right key is dominated by $Y_\\lambda(w)$. The set of all such tableaux is denoted $\\mathcal{D}_\\lambda(w)$. Exploiting the method mentioned above for obtaining right keys, this thesis describes the entry at each location in any $T \\in \\mathcal{D}_\\lambda(w)$. Lastly, we will consider $\\mathcal{D}_\\lambda(w)$ as an integral subset of Euclidean space. The final results present a condition that is both necessary and sufficient for this subset to be convex.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-29T19:08:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E10", "17B10" ], "keywords": [ "semistandard young tableau", "demazure tableaux", "descriptions", "applications", "demazure character" ], "tags": [ "dissertation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.7826W" } } }
