Two Remarks on Skew Tableaux

This paper contains two results on the number f[superscript σ/τ] of standard skew Young tableaux of shape σ/τ. The first concerns generating functions for certain classes of "periodic" shapes related to work of Gessel-Viennot and Baryshnikov-Romik. The second result gives an evaluation of...

Description
Summary:This paper contains two results on the number f[superscript σ/τ] of standard skew Young tableaux of shape σ/τ. The first concerns generating functions for certain classes of "periodic" shapes related to work of Gessel-Viennot and Baryshnikov-Romik. The second result gives an evaluation of the skew Schur function s[subscript λ/μ](x) at x = (1,1/2[superscript 2k],1/3[superscript 2k],…) for k = 1,2,3 in terms of f[superscript σ/τ] for a certain skew shape σ/τ depending on λ/μ.
