On the Algebraic Combinatorics of Injections and its Applications to Injection Codes

Combinatorics 2019-12-11 v1

Abstract

We consider the algebraic combinatorics of the set of injections from a kk-element set to an nn-element set. In particular, we give a new combinatorial formula for the spherical functions of the Gelfand pair (Sk×Sn,diag(Sk)×Snk)(S_k \times S_n, \text{diag}(S_k) \times S_{n-k}). We use this combinatorial formula to give new Delsarte linear programming bounds on the size of codes over injections.
