Starting with a standard Young tableau $T$, a 1-minor of $T$ is a tableau obtained by first deleting any cell of $T$, and then performing jeu de taquin slides to fill the resulting gap. This can be iterated to arrive at the set of $k$-minors of $T$. The problem is this: given $k$, what are the values of $n$ such that every tableau of size $n$ can be reconstructed from its set of $k$-minors? For $k=1$, the problem was recently solved by Cain and Lehtonen. In this paper, we solve the problem for $k=2$, proving the sharp lower bound $n \\geq 8$. In the case of multisets of $k$-minors, we also give a lower bound for arbitrary $k$, as a first step toward a sharp bound in the general multiset case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-24T22:57:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E10" ], "keywords": [ "young tableau reconstruction", "standard young tableau", "general multiset case", "tableau reconstruction problem", "sharp lower bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
