Shifted Domino tableaux

Abstract: We introduce new combinatorial objects called the shifted domino tableaux. We prove that these objects are in bijection with pairs of shifted Young tableaux. This bijection shows that shifted domino tableaux can be seen as elements of the super shifted plactic monoid, which is the shifted analog of the super plactic monoid. We also show that the sum over all shifted domino tableaux of a fixed shape describe a product of two Q-Schur functions, and by taking a different kind of shifted domino tableaux we describe a product of two P-Schur functions.
