A product formula for multivariate Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomials

Combinatorics 2013-05-13 v1

Abstract

Let Hn(t)H_n(t) denote the classical Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomial, and let \tHn(t1,,tl)\tH_n(t_1, \ldots, t_l) denote the homogeneous Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomial in ll variables, with indeterminate qq. There is a classical product formula for Hk(t)Hn(t)H_k(t)H_n(t) as a sum of Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomials with coefficients being polynomials in qq. We generalize this to a product formula for the multivariate homogeneous polynomials \tHn(t1,,tl)\tH_n(t_1, \ldots, t_l). The coefficients given in the product formula are polynomials in qq which are defined recursively, and we find closed formulas for several interesting cases. We then reinterpret the product formula in terms of symmetric function theory, where these coefficients become structure constants.
