This paper focuses on the $GL_n$ tensor product algebra, which encapsulates the decomposition of tensor products of arbitrary finite dimensional irreducible representations of $GL_n$. We will describe an explicit basis for this algebra.…
We present a polynomiality property of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients c_{\lambda\mu}^{\nu}. The coefficients are shown to be given by polynomials in \lambda, \mu and \nu on the cones of the chamber complex of a vector partition…
We are interested in identities between Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, and hence in comparing different tensor product decompositions of the irreducible modules of the linear group GL n (C). A family of partitions-called…
The tensor product algebra TA(n) for the complex general linear group GL(n), introduced by Howe et al., describes the decomposition of tensor products of irreducible polynomial representations of GL(n). Using the hive model for the…
Newell-Littlewood coefficients $n_{\mu,\nu}^{\lambda}$ are the multiplicities occurring in the decomposition of products of universal characters of the orthogonal and symplectic groups. They may also be expressed, or even defined directly…
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…
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…
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…
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…
The stretched Littlewood-Richardson coefficient $c^{t\nu}_{t\lambda,t\mu}$ was conjectured by King, Tollu, and Toumazet to be a polynomial function in $t.$ It was shown to be true by Derksen and Weyman using semi-invariants of quivers.…
We determine the necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions for which the tensor product of two irreducible polynomial representations of $GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ is isomorphic to another. As a consequence we discover families of…
The Newell-Littlewood numbers $N_{\mu,\nu,\lambda}$ are tensor product multiplicities of Weyl modules for classical Lie groups, in the stable limit. For which triples of partitions $(\mu,\nu,\lambda)$ does $N_{\mu,\nu,\lambda}>0$ hold? The…
The main aim of the paper is to present a~combinatorial algorithm that, applying Littlewood-Richardson tableaux with entries equal to $1$, computes generic extensions of semisimple invariant subspaces of nilpotent linear operators.…
We investigate the problem of computing tensor product multiplicities for complex semisimple Lie algebras. Even though computing these numbers is #P-hard in general, we show that if the rank of the Lie algebra is assumed fixed, then there…
Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically-closed field of characteristic zero. In this note we show that every regular face of the Littlewood-Richardson cone of G gives rise to a reduction rule: a rule which, given a…
Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficients and Kostka Numbers appear in representation theory and combinatorics related to $GL_n$. It is known that Kostka numbers can be represented as special Littlewood-Rischardson coefficient. In this paper,…
