Starting with Knutson and Tao's hive model (in J. Amer. Math. Soc., 1999) we characterize the Littlewood-Richardson coefficient $c_{\lambda,\mu}^\nu$ of given partitions $\lambda,\mu,\nu\in N^n$ as the number of capacity achieving hive…
By inventing the notion of honeycombs, A. Knutson and T. Tao proved the saturation conjecture for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. The Newell-Littlewood numbers are a generalization of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. By…
We prove a Littlewood-Richardson type formula for $(s_{\lambda/\mu},s_{\nu/\kappa})_{t^k,t}$, the pairing of two skew Schur functions in the MacDonald inner product at $q = t^k$ for positive integers $k$. This pairing counts graded…
We give a new interpretation of the shifted Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $f_{\lambda\mu}^\nu$ ($\lambda,\mu,\nu$ are strict partitions). The coefficients $g_{\lambda\mu}$ which appear in the decomposition of Schur $Q$-function…
Littlewood-Richardson rule gives the decomposition formula for the multiplication of two Schur functions, while the decomposition formula for the multiplication of two Hall-Littlewood functions or two universal characters is also given by…
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 develop structural insights into the Littlewood-Richardson graph, whose number of vertices equals the Littlewood-Richardson coefficient c({\lambda},{\mu},{\nu}) for given partitions {\lambda}, {\mu}, and {\nu}. This graph was first…
The Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^\nu_{\lambda,\mu}$ are the multiplicities in the tensor product decomposition of two irreducible representations of the general linear group GL$(n, {\mathbb C})$. They are parametrized by the…
We introduce the honeycomb model of BZ polytopes, which calculate Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, the tensor product rule for GL(n). Our main result is the existence of a particularly well-behaved honeycomb with given boundary…
We extend the theory of Littlewood-Richardson fillings (defined over the non-negative integers) to include diagrams with rows and boxes of real-valued length. We realize such fillings as invariants of matrix pairs over rings with a…
An introduction is given to the Littlewood-Richardson rule, and various combinatorial constructions related to it. We present a proof based on tableau switching, dual equivalence, and coplactic operations. We conclude with a section…
We provide direct proofs of product and coproduct formulae for Schur functions where the coefficients (Littlewood--Richardson coefficients) are defined as counting puzzles. The product formula includes a second alphabet for the Schur…
We propose a new formulation of Hall polynomials in terms of honeycombs, which were previously introduced in the context of the Littlewood--Richardson rule. We prove a Pieri rule and associativity for our honeycomb formula, thus showing…
A Dirichlet $k$-partition of a closed $d$-dimensional surface is a collection of $k$ pairwise disjoint open subsets such that the sum of their first Laplace-Beltrami-Dirichlet eigenvalues is minimal. In this paper, we develop a simple and…
We make progress towards understanding the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $g_{\lambda,\mu}^{\nu}$ for products of Jack symmetric functions. Building on recent results of the second author, we are able to prove new cases of…
We provide a manifestly positive expression for the volume of the moduli spaces of flat $\mathrm{U}(n)$-valued connections on punctured compact oriented surfaces. This volume is obtained by summing volumes of explicit polytopes describing…
We define mosaics, which are naturally in bijection with Knutson-Tao puzzles. We define an operation on mosaics, which shows they are also in bijection with Littlewood-Richardson skew-tableaux. Another consequence of this construction is…
In this paper, we define a realizability semantics for the simply typed $\lambda\mu$-calculus. We show that if a term is typable, then it inhabits the interpretation of its type. This result serves to give characterizations of the…
A bijection is defined from Littlewood-Richardson tableaux to rigged configurations. It is shown that this map preserves the appropriate statistics, thereby proving a quasi-particle expression for the generalized Kostka polynomials, which…
We prove a novel pair of Littlewood identities for Schur functions, recently conjectured by Lee, Rains and Warnaar in the Macdonald case, in which the sum is over partitions with empty 2-core. As a byproduct we obtain a new Littlewood…
