Let W be the complex reflection group G(e,1,n). In the author's previous paper, Hall-Littlewood functions associated to W were introduced. In the special case where W is a Weyl group of type B_n, they are closely related to Green…

Using the combinatorial formula for the transformed Macdonald polynomials of Haglund, Haiman, and Loehr, we investigate the combinatorics of the symmetry relation $\widetilde{H}_\mu(\mathbf{x};q,t) =…

Egge, Loehr and Warrington gave in \cite{ELW} a combinatorial formula that permits to convert the expansion of a symmetric function, homogeneous of degree $n$, in terms of Gessel's fundamental quasisymmetric functions into an expansion in…

The shuffle conjecture of Haglund et al. expresses the symmetric function $\nabla e_n$ as a sum over labeled Dyck paths. Here $\nabla$ is an operator on symmetric functions defined in terms of its diagonal action on the basis of modified…

We give a Littlewood-Richardson type rule for expanding the product of a row-strict quasisymmetric Schur function and a symmetric Schur function in terms of row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions. This expansion follows from several new…

In the seminal work of Stanley, several conjectures were made on the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions. Motivated by recent results of Alexandersson and the present author, we…

Creation operators act on symmetric functions to build Schur functions, Hall--Littlewood polynomials, and related symmetric functions one row at a time. Haglund, Morse, Zabrocki, and others have studied more general symmetric functions…

In this paper, we first prove the coefficient conjecture of Clunie and Sheil-Small for a class of univalent harmonic functions which includes functions convex in some direction. Next, we prove growth and covering theorems and some related…

Double Kostka polynomials are polynomials indexed by a pair of double partitions. As in the ordinary case, double Kostka polynomials are defined in terms of Schur functions and Hall-Littlewood functions associated to double partitions. In…

We consider families of quasisymmetric functions with the property that if a symmetric function $f$ is a positive sum of functions in one of these families, then f is necessarily a positive sum of Schur functions. Furthermore, in each of…

The Stanley-Stembridge conjecture associates a symmetric function to each natural unit interval order $\mathcal P$. In this paper, we define relations \`a la Knuth on the symmetric group for each $\mathcal P$ and conjecture that the…

It is well known that if one integrates a Schur function indexed by a partition $\lambda$ over the symplectic (resp. orthogonal) group, the integral vanishes unless all parts of $\lambda$ have even multiplicity (resp. all parts of $\lambda$…

One of the central open problems in both algebraic combinatorics and representation theory is to find a positive combinatorial rule for Kronecker coefficients $ g_{\lambda \, \mu \, \nu}$. A notable advance in this direction is due to…

Binomial formulas for Schur polynomials and Jack polynomials were studied by Lascoux in 1978, and Kaneko, Okounkov--Olshanski and Lassalle in the 1990s. We prove that the associated binomial coefficients are monotone and derive some…

When one expands a Schur function in terms of the irreducible characters of the symplectic (or orthogonal) group, the coefficient of the trivial character is 0 unless the indexing partition has an appropriate form. A number of q-analogues…
