A duality-preserving extension of the Worley-Sagan insertion and Haiman's mixed insertion for the hyperoctahedral group

Source abstract

The Worley-Sagan insertion and Haiman's mixed insertion are insertion algorithms for shifted Young tableaux, and each of them gives a Robinson-Schensted-type correspondence between the symmetric group of degree $n$ and a set consisting of certain pairs of same-shape shifted Young tableaux with $n$ cells. It is a known fact that these two insertions are dual to each other. Our purpose is to give an extension of these two insertions without losing the duality relationship. The extended ones will be insertions producing pairs of shifted tableaux from colored permutations. Our extension of the Worley-Sagan insertion is different from the restriction of Sagan's own "Knuth version" to colored permutations. In proving the duality between our extended insertions, we "embed" them into Shimozono and White's doubly mixed insertion for unshifted tableaux by "doubling" shifted tableaux and use the self-duality of the doubly mixed insertion shown by Shimozono and White.
