Abstract

Recent works in algebraic combinatorics have brought up to date the importance of certain planar structures, called ribbon tableaux, which are generalizations of Young tableaux. This paper gives an algorithm to efficiently distribute, using PVM, the computation of the set of all ribbon tableaux of given shape and weight. It also provides a way to compute the spin polynomials associated to those sets of ribbon tableaux, these polynomials leading to generalizations of Hall-Littlewood functions.
