With Alain Lascoux, Sch¨štzenberger is credited with the foundation of the notion of the plactic monoid,reflected in the name of the combinatorial structure called by some the Lascoux¨CSch¨štzenberger tree. ; > ; > #Q4 ; > #W.T GOWERS ; > #WHY WAS Dr.Z DISAPPOINTED AT THE GREAT Sir W. THIMOTY GOWERS ; > ; > #Guru Sir Timothy Gowers Has abdicated his implicit moral responsibility to integrity, objectivity and fairness, by, following a perfunctory, half-hearted, expression of disapproval of the "unacceptances", he went on a tirade against Hill's paper itself, completely trashing it, and stating that it "should not have been accepted in the first place". As a few of the 360 responses to his blog post already pointed out, the actual merit of the paper in question is completely irrelevant to the shameful behavior of the editors. By trashing the paper he attempted to minimize the editorial injustice.So even if Tim would have been right, and the paper is "garbage", it was completely inappropriate to lump a meta-level discussion with an object-level discussion. In other words, he committed a grave category error. ; > ; > ;
