Abstract

We argue that Jack Littlewood-Richardson coefficients gμνλ(α)g_{\mu\nu}^{\lambda}(\alpha) are specialisations of certain novel polynomials. For the triple of partitions (μ,ν,λ)=(21,21,321)(\mu,\nu,\lambda)=(21,21,321), we prove the corresponding polynomial is invariant under S6×Z2S_6 \times \mathbb{Z}_2, which is identified as the automorphism group of the Johnson graph J(6,3)J(6,3). We conjecture that these polynomials exhibit a factorization property on certain hyperplanes, which is a consequence of compatibility relations between polynomials associated to adjacent triples in the Young graph. As a consequence of this, we conjecture that the difference of adjacent Jack Littlewood-Richardson coefficients is divisible by the shared hook length.
