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…
We introduce the multiple zeta functions with structures similar to those of symmetric functions such as Schur $P$-, Schur $Q$-, symplectic and orthogonal functions in the representation theory. We first consider their basic properties such…
We present a family of analogs of the Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions in the $Q$-function algebra. The change of basis coefficients between this family and Schur's $Q$-functions are $q$-analogs of numbers of marked shifted tableaux.…
By considering the specialisation $s_{\lambda}(1,q,q^2,...,q^{n-1})$ of the Schur function, Stanley was able to describe a formula for the number of semistandard Young tableaux of shape $\lambda$ in terms of two properties of the boxes in…
This paper is about a family of symmetric rational functions that form a one-parameter generalization of the classical Hall-Littlewood polynomials. We introduce two sets of (skew and non-skew) functions that are akin to P and Q…
We introduce an intermediate family of Laurent polynomials between Schur's $Q$-functions and S. Okada's symplectic $Q$-functions. It can also be regarded as a $Q$-function analogue of Proctor's intermediate symplectic characters, and is…
In our previous works we introduced a $q$-deformation of the generating functions for enriched $P$-partitions. We call the evaluation of this generating functions on labelled chains, the $q$-fundamental quasisymmetric functions. These…
In this paper, we introduce {\it factorial} analogues of the ordinary Hall--Littlewood $P$- and $Q$-polynomials, which we call the {\it factorial Hall--Littlewood $P$- and $Q$-polynomials}. Using the {\it universal} formal group law, we…
We introduce a new family of symmetric functions, which are $q$-analogues of products of Schur functions defined in terms of ribbon tableaux. These functions can be interpreted in terms of the Fock space representation of the quantum affine…
We construct a lift of Schur's Q-functions to the peak algebra of the symmetric group, called the noncommutative Schur Q-functions, and extract from them a new natural basis with several nice properties such as the positive right-Pieri…
Schur's $Q$-functions with reduced variables are discussed by employing a combinatorics of strict partitions. They are called reduced $Q$-functions. We give a description of the linear relations among reduced $Q$-functions.
We introduce two families of symmetric functions generalizing the factorial Schur $P$- and $Q$- functions due to Ivanov. We call them $K$-theoretic analogues of factorial Schur $P$- and $Q$- functions. We prove various combinatorial…
We classify the $Q$-homogeneous skew Schur $Q$-functions, i.e., those of the form $Q_{\lambda/\mu} = k \cdot Q_{\nu}$. On the way we develop new tools that are useful also in the context of other classification problems for skew Schur…
We introduce a Pfaffian formula that extends Schur's $Q$-functions $Q_\lambda$ to be indexed by compositions $\lambda$ with negative parts. This formula makes the Pfaffian construction more consistent with other constructions, such as the…
We investigate relations among Schur multiple zeta functions and zeta-functions of root systems attached to semisimple Lie algebras. Schur multiple zeta functions are defined as sums over semi-standard Young tableaux. Then, assuming the…
In this paper, we construct the q-analogue of Poirier-Reutenauer algebras, related deeply with other q-combinatorial Hopf algebras. As an application, we use them to realize the odd Schur functions defined in \cite{EK}, and naturally obtain…
We give a new characterization of Littlewood-Richardson-Stembridge tableaux for Schur $P$-functions by using the theory of $\mf{q}(n)$-crystals. We also give alternate proofs of the Schur $P$-expansion of a skew Schur function due to Ardila…
We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…
As a spin analog of the plethystic Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Schur functions, the plethystic Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Schur $Q$-functions is established with the help of the vertex operator realization. This generalizes both the…
We define universal factorial Schur $P,Q$-functions and their duals, which specialize to generalized (co)-homology "Schubert basis" for loop spaces of the classical groups. We also investigate some of their properties.
