Identically distributed pairs of partition statistics.
In this paper, we study two kinds of combinatorial objects, generalized integer partitions and tilings of -gons (hexagons, octagons, decagons, etc.). We show that the sets of partitions, ordered with a simple dynamics, have the distributive lattice structure. Likewise, we show that the set of tilings of a -gon is the disjoint union of distributive lattices which we describe. We also discuss the special case of linear integer partitions, for which other dynamical models exist.
