Permutations whose Reverse Shares the Same Recording Tableau in the RS Correspondence

Abstract. The RS correspondence is a bijection between permutations and pairs of standard Young tableaux with identical shape, where the tableaux are commonly denoted P (insertion) and Q (recording). It has been an open problem to demonstrate
                              {      (   )
                                2 n-21 nn--11 ,  n odd,
|{w ∈  𝔖n | Q (w ) = Q(wr )}| =        2
                                0,           n even,
where wr is the reverse permutation of w. First we show that for each w where Q(w) = Q(wr) the recording tableau Q(w) has a symmetric hook shape and satisfies a certain simple property. From these two results, we succeed in proving the desired identity.
