The Art of Bijections
(Non-trivial) bijections are one of the most beautiful things incombinatorics, which can be extremely powerful and insightful.
In the best case, they provide one-picture proofs of surprising
identities and relations between seemingly totally different
objects.In this course, I shall explain various classical and not-so-classical
bijections for paths, trees, combinatorial maps, set and integer partitions, tilings, tableaux, etc., culminating in the "queen of all bijections", the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence and its "relatives".While explaining an individual bijection, I will use the opportunity to
tell more about the respective subject.Nothing except basic combinatorial facts (generating functions) are required.Open problems are plenty (but probably very difficult).
