Given a matrix $X$, we consider a pyramidal array of solid minors of $X$. It turns out that this array satisfies an algebraic variant of octahedron recurrence. The main observation is that this array can also be constructed with the help of some square `genetic' array. Next we tropicalize this algebraic construction and consider $T$-{\\em polarized} pyramidal arrays (that is arrays satisfying octahedral relations). As a result we get several bijections, viz: a) a linear bijection between non-negative arrays and supermodular functions; b) a piecewise linear bijection between supermodular functions and the so called infra-modular functions; c) a linear bijection between infra-modular functions and plane partitions. A composition of these bijections yields a bijection between non-negative arrays and plane partitions coinciding with the modified RSK-correspondence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-03-14T11:47:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "octahedron recurrence", "rsk-correspondence", "pyramidal array", "plane partitions", "infra-modular functions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......3414D" } } }
