We study integral representation of so-called $d$-dimensional Catalan numbers $C_{d}(n)$, defined by $[\prod_{p=0}^{d-1} \frac{p!}{(n+p)!}] (d n)!$, $d = 2, 3, ...$, $n=0, 1, ...$. We prove that the $C_{d}(n)$'s are the $n$th Hausdorff…

In this paper we give a combinatorial interpretation for the coefficient of $s_{\nu}$ in the Kronecker product $s_{(n-p,p)}\ast s_{\lambda}$, where $\lambda=(\lambda_1, ..., \lambda_{\ell(\lambda)})\vdash n$, if $\ell(\lambda)\geq 2p-1$ or…

In this note we make explicit a stability property for Kronecker coefficients that is implicit in a theorem of Y. Dvir. Even in the simplest nontrivial case this property was overlooked despite of the work of several authors. As an…

Using an algorithm for computing the symmetric function Kronecker product of D-finite symmetric functions we find some new Kronecker product identities. The identities give closed form formulas for trace-like values of the Kronecker…

Compound matrices play an important role in many fields of mathematics and have recently found new applications in systems and control theory. However, the explicit formulas for these compounds are non-trivial and not always easy to use.…

What might a combinatorial interpretation of the Kronecker coefficients even look like? We introduce a class of combinatorial objects called bitableaux, which we believe are a natural candidate, and we formulate a purely combinatorial…

By using the Newton interpolation formula, we generalize the recent identities on the Catalan triangle obtained by Miana and Romero as well as those of Chen and Chu. We further study divisibility properties of sums of products of binomial…

We present the new combinatorial class of product-coproduct prographs which are planar assemblies of two types of operators: products having two inputs and a single output and coproducts having a single input and two outputs. We show that…

We give explicit positive combinatorial interpretations for the plethysm coefficients $\langle s_\mu[s_\nu], s_\lambda\rangle$, when $\lambda$ has at most two rows, as counting certain marked trees. In the special case $\mu=(n)$, this also…

We give formulae for computing Kronecker coefficients occurring in the expansion of $s_{\mu}*s_{\nu}$, where both $\mu$ and $\nu$ are nearly rectangular, and have smallest parts equal to either 1 or 2. In particular, we study…

While there has been some progress on the decomposition of Kronecker products of characters of the symmetric groups in recent times, results on the symmetric and alternating part of Kronecker squares are still scarce. Here, new results (and…

Our main goal is to compute the decomposition of arbitrary Kronecker powers of the Harmonics of $S_n$. To do this, we give a new way of decomposing the character for the action of $S_n$ on polynomial rings with $k$ sets of $n$ variables.…

Let $n$ be any nonnegative integer and \[ D_n^{(h)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n+k}{2k}^{h}\binom{2k}{k}^{h}{x}^{k} \text{ and } S_{n}^{(h)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n+k}{2k}^{h}C_{k}^{h}{x}^{k} \] be the generalized Delannoy polynomials and…

We prove the following conjecture of Zeilberger. Denoting by $C_n$ the Catalan number, define inductively $A_n$ by $(-1)^{n-1}A_n=C_n+\sum_{j=1}^{n-1} (-1)^{j} \binom{2n-1}{2j-1} A_j \,C_{n-j}$ and $a_n=2A_n/C_n$. Then $a_n$ (hence $A_n$)…

We study the Kronecker product of two Schur functions $s_\lambda\ast s_\mu$, defined as the image of the characteristic map of the product of two $S_n$ irreducible characters. We prove special cases of a conjecture of Monical--Tokcan--Yong…

The computation of Kronecker coefficients is a challenging problem with a variety of applications. In this paper we present an approach based on methods from symplectic geometry and residue calculus. We outline a general algorithm for the…

The Kronecker product of two Schur functions $s_{\mu}$ and $s_{\nu}$, denoted by $s_{\mu}*s_{\nu}$, is the Frobenius characteristic of the tensor product of the irreducible representations of the symmetric group corresponding to the…

Products, multiplicative Chern characters, and finite coefficients, are unarguably among the most important tools in algebraic K-theory. Although they admit numerous different constructions, they are not yet fully understood at the…

We study the remarkable Saxl conjecture which states that tensor squares of certain irreducible representations of the symmetric groups S_n contain all irreducibles as their constituents. Our main result is that they contain representations…

In this paper we establish some new congruences involving central binomial coefficients as well as Catalan numbers. Let $p$ be a prime and let $a$ be any positive integer. We determine $\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}$ mod $p^2$ for…
