3-Plethysms of homogeneous and elementary symmetric functions

Abstract

We introduce the new combinatorial approach of plethystic type of tableaux, as a method to understand coefficients of Schur functions appearing in plethysms sν[hλ]s_\nu[h_\lambda] and sν[eλ]s_{\nu}[e_{\lambda}], for any partitions λ\lambda and ν\nu. We first give general results about this approach, then use results on tableaux, ribbon tableaux and integer points in polytopes to understand the case where ν\nu is a partition of 33 and λ\lambda has one part. We then use a \textit{Kronecker map} to extend these results to any partition λ\lambda.
