Refined Enumerations of Alternating Sign Triangles
Abstract.
We generalise alternating sign triangles, which were recently
introduced by Ayyer, Behrend and Fischer and shown to be equinumerous
with ASMs, to AS-trapezoids and introduce a refinement by Catalan
objects. We show that the number of AS-trapezoids associated with a
fixed Catalan object is a polynomial in the length of the shorter base
of the trapezoid. As a special case we obtain an analogue of a
polynomiality theorem for fully packed loops with nested arches.
