Newell-Littlewood numbers II: extended Horn inequalities

Combinatorics 2023-02-07 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

The Newell-Littlewood numbers Nμ,ν,λN_{\mu,\nu,\lambda} are tensor product multiplicities of Weyl modules for classical Lie groups, in the stable limit. For which triples of partitions (μ,ν,λ)(\mu,\nu,\lambda) does Nμ,ν,λ>0N_{\mu,\nu,\lambda}>0 hold? The Littlewood-Richardson coefficient case is solved by the Horn inequalities (in work of A. Klyachko and A. Knutson-T. Tao). We extend these celebrated linear inequalities to a much larger family, suggesting a general solution.
