Fully inhomogeneous spin Hall-Littlewood symmetric rational functions $F_\lambda$ are multiparameter deformations of the classical Hall-Littlewood symmetric polynomials and can be viewed as partition functions in $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ higher…
We prove two identities of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, which appeared recently in a paper by two of the authors. We also conjecture, and in some cases prove, new identities which relate infinite sums of symmetric polynomials and partition…
We extend results of Andrews and Bressoud on the vanishing of coefficients in the series expansions of certain infinite products. These results have the form that if \begin{equation*} \frac{(q^{r-tk}, q^{mk-(r-tk)};…
For $\boldsymbol{\large {\lambda}} = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_d)$ with $\lambda_i > 0$, it is proved that \begin{equation*} \prod_{i=1}^d \frac{ 1}{(1- r x_i)^{\lambda_i}} = \frac{\Gamma(|\boldsymbol{\large {\lambda}}|)}{\prod_{i=1}^{d}…
When $\lambda$ is a partition, the specialized non-symmetric Macdonald polynomial $E_{\lambda}(x;q;0)$ is symmetric and related to a modified Hall--Littlewood polynomial. We show that whenever all parts of the integer partition $\lambda$ is…
We introduce and study a generalization of Schur's $P$-/$Q$-functions associated to a polynomial sequence, which can be viewed as ``Macdonald's ninth variation'' for $P$-/$Q$-functions. This variation includes as special cases Schur's…
The identities which are in the literature often called ``bounded Littlewood identities" are determinantal formulas for the sum of Schur functions indexed by partitions with bounded height. They have interesting combinatorial consequences…
For any Schur function $s_{\nu}$, the associated {\em delta operator} $\Delta'_{s_{\nu}}$ is a linear operator on the ring of symmetric functions which has the modified Macdonald polynomials as an eigenbasis. When $\nu = (1^{n-1})$ is a…
A key issue in the solution of partial differential equations via integral equation methods is the evaluation of possibly singular integrals involving the Green's function and its derivatives multiplied by simple functions over discretized…
Our results revolve around a new operation on partitions, which we call overlap. We prove two overlap identities for so-called Littlewood-Schur functions. Littlewood-Schur functions are a generalization of Schur functions, whose study was…
We describe a method, based on the theory of Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials, for proving bounded Littlewood identities. Our approach provides an alternative to Macdonald's partial fraction technique and results in the first examples of…
We study the asymptotics of Schur polynomials with partitions $\lambda$ which are almost staircase; more precisely, partitions that differ from $((m-1)(N-1),(m-1)(N-2),\ldots,(m-1),0)$ by at most one component at the beginning as…
This paper uses the theory of dual equivalence graphs to give explicit Schur expansions for several families of symmetric functions. We begin by giving a combinatorial definition of the modified Macdonald polynomials and modified…
We note that the vanishing and injectivity theorems of Koll\'ar and Esnault-Viehweg can be used to give a quick algebraic proof of a strengthening of the Ein-Lazarsfeld Skoda-type division theorem for global sections of adjoint line bundles…
This paper proves a combinatorial rule giving all maximal and minimal partitions $\lambda$ such that the Schur function $s_\lambda$ appears in a plethysm of two arbitrary Schur functions. Determining the decomposition of these plethysms has…
In the 1940s Littlewood formulated three fundamental correspondences for the immanants and Schur symmetric functions on the general linear group, which establish deep connections between representation theory of the symmetric group and the…

The classical algebra $\Lambda$ of symmetric functions has a remarkable deformation $\Lambda^*$, which we call the algebra of shifted symmetric functions. In the latter algebra, there is a distinguished basis formed by shifted Schur…
In a recent paper with Sahi and Stokman, we introduced quasi-polynomial generalizations of Macdonald polynomials for arbitrary root systems via a new class of representations of the double affine Hecke algebra. These objects depend on a…
