Tiling bijections between paths and Brauer diagrams

Robert J. Marsh and Paul Martin

DOI: 10.1007/s10801-010-0252-6

Abstract

There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the two-dimensional integer lattice. We show that there is a natural bijection, extending the above tiling construction, between overhang paths and basis diagrams of the Brauer algebra.
