• There are several packages dedicated to Young tableaux available. Which of them are you using? – marmot Apr 23 at 15:06

• use the package \usepackage{ytableau}. The documentation is very complete. – Dox Apr 30 at 9:25

For empty tableaux the ytableau package provides \ydiagram; it is thought for “skewed tableaux”, but works well also in this case.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}

\usepackage{ytableau}

\newcommand{\tabgt}{\mathrel{\unrhd}}

\begin{document}

\ytableausetup{aligntableaux=center} \thickmuskip=12mu % wider in this context \ydiagram{0+4} \tabgt \ydiagram{0+3,0+1} \tabgt \ydiagram{0+2,0+2} \tabgt \ydiagram{0+2,0+1,0+1} \tabgt \ydiagram{0+1,0+1,0+1,0+1}

\end{document}


One out of many possible ways.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ytableau}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\begin{document}

\ytableausetup{aligntableaux=center} \begin{ytableau} ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ \\ \end{ytableau}~\unrhd~ \begin{ytableau} ~ & ~ & ~ \\ ~ & \none & \none\\ \end{ytableau}~\unrhd~ \begin{ytableau} ~ & ~ \\ ~ & ~\\ \end{ytableau}~\unrhd~ \begin{ytableau} ~ & ~ \\ ~ & \none \\ ~ & \none \\ \end{ytableau}~\unrhd~ \begin{ytableau} ~ \\ ~\\ ~\\ ~\\ \end{ytableau}
\end{document}


Of course you can shorten this considerably.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[vcentermath]{youngtab}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}

$\yng(4)~\unrhd~\yng(3,1)~\unrhd~\yng(2,2)~\unrhd~\yng(2,1,1)~\unrhd~ \yng(1,1,1,1)$
\end{document}


• +1 for the latter code – The old JouleV Apr 23 at 16:29
• @JouleV I actually like the first one better since most likely the OP will eventually need to fill these tableaux with something, so I wanted to provide something that can easily be adopted to that case. – marmot Apr 23 at 16:38
• I think adding some text is also possible (and easy) with youngtab. – The old JouleV Apr 23 at 16:38
• @JouleV Sure. There is another package, young, which is also useful and easy to use. – marmot Apr 23 at 16:41
