We give a Pieri-type formula for the sum of $K$-$k$-Schur functions $\sum_{\mu\le\lambda} g^{(k)}_{\mu}$ over a principal order ideal of the poset of $k$-bounded partitions under the strong Bruhat order, which sum we denote by…

Subsequently to the author's preceding paper, we give full proofs of some explicit formulas about factorizations of $K$-$k$-Schur functions associated with any multiple $k$-rectangles.

We discuss the polarised fragmentation functions of quarks and gluons in Perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics. The Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations governing these fragmentation functions are presented. We find that the first moment of…

We consider a filtration of the symmetric function space given by $\Lambda^{(k)}_t$, the linear span of Hall-Littlewood polynomials indexed by partitions whose first part is not larger than $k$. We introduce symmetric functions called the…

We introduce the new concept of weighted $K$-$k$-Schur functions -- a novel family within the broader class of Katalan functions -- that unifies and extends both $K$-$k$-Schur functions and closed $k$-Schur Katalan functions. This new…

We give a combinatorial expansion of a Schubert homology class in the affine Grassmannian Gr_{SL_k} into Schubert homology classes in Gr_{SL_{k+1}}. This is achieved by studying the combinatorics of a new class of partitions called…

We show factorization formulas for a class of partition functions of rational six vertex model. First we show factorization formulas for partition functions under triangular boundary. Further, by combining the factorization formulas with…

We prove that a Schur function of rectangular shape $(M^n)$ whose variables are specialized to $x_1,x_1^{-1},...,x_n,x_n^{-1}$ factorizes into a product of two odd orthogonal characters of rectangular shape, one of which is evaluated at…

For closed $k$-Schur Katalan functions $\fg{\lambda}{k}$ with $k$ a positive integer and $\lambda$ a $k$-bounded partition, Blasiak, Morse and Seelinger proposed the alternating dual Pieri rule conjecture and the $k$-branching conjecture.…

Let $A_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of partition $k$-tuples of $n$ where each partition is $t$-core. In this paper, we establish formulas of $A_{t,k}(n)$ for some values of $t$ and $k$ by employing the method of modular forms, which extends…

The $K$-$k$-Schur functions and $k$-Schur functions appeared in the study of $K$-theoretic and affine Schubert Calculus as polynomial representatives of Schubert classes. In this paper, we introduce a new family of symmetric functions…

A formula for Schur $Q$-functions is presented which describes the action of the Virasoro operators. For a strict partition, we prove a concise formula for $L_{-k}Q_{\lambda}$, where $L_{-k}$ $(k\geq 1)$ is the Virasoro operator.

We consider a type of divided symmetrization $\overrightarrow{D}_{\lambda,G}$ where $\lambda$ is a nonincreasing partition on $n$ and where $G$ is a graph. We discover that in the case where $\lambda$ is a hook shape partition with first…

We study a linear map on symmetric functions that ``divides'' a partition by a positive integer $k$, sending a Schur function indexed by a partition of $kn$ to a symmetric function indexed by partitions of $n$. We determine its Schur…

A remarkable feature of Schur functions -- the common eigenfunctions of cut-and-join operators from $W_\infty$ -- is that they factorize at the peculiar two-parametric topological locus in the space of time-variables, what is known as the…

We discuss the fact that $k_t$-factorization calculations for heavy-quark production include only the $gg\rightarrow Q\bar{Q}$ contribution. The cases of fixed-flavor-number scheme and variable-flavor-number scheme calculations are analyzed…

We find and prove a factorization formula for certain Macdonald Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c_{\lambda\mu}^{\nu}(q,t)$. Namely, we consider the case that the Kostka number $K_{\mu, \nu -\lambda}$ is $1$. This settles a particular…

We develop a new closed-form arithmetic and recursive formula for the partition function and a generalization of Andrews' smallest parts (spt) function. Using the inclusion-exclusion principle, we additionally develop a formula for the…

We make a broad conjecture about the $k$-Schur positivity of Catalan functions, symmetric functions which generalize the (parabolic) Hall-Littlewood polynomials. We resolve the conjecture with positive combinatorial formulas in cases which…

We characterize the $k$-Schur functions as the graded characters of simple objects in an additive module category. This confirms a set of conjectures formulated in the Ph.D. thesis of Chen, written under the direction of Mark Haiman, and…
