A Little Bijection for Affine Stanley Symmetric Functions

Abstract. Little [Adv. Math. 174 (2003), 236-253] developed a combinatorial algorithm to study the Schur-positivity of Stanley symmetric functions and the Lascoux-Schützenberger tree. We generalize this algorithm to affine Stanley symmetric functions, which were introduced recently in [T. Lam: ``Affine Stanley symmetric functions," Amer. J. Math., to appear].
