Abstract
In this work we continue our study of Fully Packed Loop (FPL) configurations in a triangle. These are certain subgraphs on a triangular subset of Z2Z2, which first arose in the study of the usual FPL configurations on a square grid. We show that, in a special case, the enumeration of these FPLs in a triangle is given by Littlewood–Richardson coefficients. The proof consists of a bijection with Knutson–Tao puzzles.
