Let $\chi^{\lambda}_{\mu}$ be the value of the irreducible character $\chi^{\lambda}$ of the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group on the conjugacy class of type $\mu$. The usual Murnaghan-Nakayama rule provides an iterative algorithm based…
Given natural numbers m and n, we define a deflation map from the characters of the symmetric group S_{mn} to the characters of S_n. This map is obtained by first restricting a character of S_{mn} to the wreath product S_m \wr S_n, and then…
We bound the number of standard tableaux of skew shapes via thick hook decompositions in the Naruse hook length formula. Combining this with elementary counting arguments in the Murnaghan--Nakayama rule, we establish a uniform bound on…
A Pfaffian-type Murnaghan-Nakayama rule is derived for the Hecke-Clifford algebra $\mathcal{H}^c_n$ based on the Frobenius formula and vertex operators, and this leads to a combinatorial version via the tableaux realization of Schur's…
We give a combinatorial proof of a natural generalization of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule to loop Schur functions. We also define shifted loop Schur functions and prove that they satisfy a similar relation.
The plethystic Murnaghan-Nakayama rule describes how to decompose the product of a Schur function and a plethysm of the form $p_r\circ h_m$ as a sum of Schur functions. We provide a short, entirely combinatorial proof of this rule using the…
We prove a Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for the noncommutative Schur functions introduced by Bessenrodt, Luoto and van Willigenburg. In other words, we give an explicit combinatorial formula for expanding the product of a noncommutative power…
The Murnaghan-Nakayama rule expresses the product of a Schur function with a Newton power sum in the basis of Schur functions. We establish a version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Schubert polynomials and a version for the quantum…
We consider the Grothendieck polynomials appearing in the K-theory of Grassmannians, which are analogs of Schur polynomials. This paper aims to establish a version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Grothendieck polynomials of the…
Given an identity relating families of Schur and power sum symmetric functions, this may be thought of as encoding representation-theoretic properties according to how the $p$-to-$s$ transition matrices provide the irreducible character…

The branching theorem expresses irreducible character values for the symmetric group $S_n$ in terms of those for $S_{n-1}$, but it gives the values only at elements of $S_n$ having a fixed point. We extend the theorem by providing a…
We provide a self-contained proof of the main properties of Brauer quotients of Young modules. We then use these results to give a new inductive proof of Nakayama's Conjecture on the blocks of the symmetric group.
Lusztig's fake degree is the generating polynomial for the major index of standard Young tableaux of a given shape. Results of Springer and James & Kerber imply that, mysteriously, its evaluation at a $k$-th primitive root of unity yields…

The representation theory of the symmetric groups S_n is intimately related to combinatorics: combinatorial objects such as Young tableaux and combinatorial algorithms such as Murnaghan-Nakayama rule. In the limit as n tends to infinity,…
