Abstract

H.Choi-D.Kim-S.J.Lee and S.J.Lee introduced a new kind of tableaux, semistandard oscillating tableaux (SSOT), around 2024 in the context of Lusztig qq-weight multiplicities, KR crystals and King tableaux. In this paper, we study generating function of the SSOTs and its symmetry. First, we extend Gessel's and Assaf-Searles' expansion of a Schur function in terms of fundamental quasi-symmetric functions to our generating function. As a consequence, we show that it is FF-positive. Further, we improve Sundaram's work on oscillating tableaux by proving that it is symmetric, Schur-positive, and has Saturated Newton polytope.
