David Little developed a combinatorial algorithm to study the Schur-positivity of Stanley symmetric functions and the Lascoux-Sch\"{u}tzenberger tree. We generalize this algorithm to affine Stanley symmetric functions.
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…
In this paper, we study Grothendieck polynomials from a combinatorial viewpoint. We introduce the factorial Grothendieck polynomials, analogues of the factorial Schur functions and present some of their properties, and use them to produce a…
We develop the general theory of Jack-Laurent symmetric functions, which are certain generalisations of the Jack symmetric functions, depending on an additional parameter p_0.
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 give an explicit formula for the power-sum expansion of Jack polynomials. We deduce it from a more general formula, which we provide here, that interprets Jack characters in terms of bipartite maps. We prove Lassalle's conjecture from…
We consider a deformation of Kerov character polynomials, linked to Jack symmetric functions. It has been introduced recently by M. Lassalle, who formulated several conjectures on these objects, suggesting some underlying combinatorics. We…
A new combinatorial approach to the ribbon tableaux generating functions and q-Littlewood Richardson coefficients of Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon is suggested. We define operators which add ribbons to partitions and following Fomin and…
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…
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…
We present a library of formalized results around symmetric functions and the character theory of symmetric groups. Written in Coq/Rocq and based on the Mathematical Components library, it covers a large part of the contents of a graduate…
This is a report on the global aspects of the Langlands-Shahidi method which in conjunction with converse theorems of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro has recently been instrumental in establishing a significant number of new and surprising…
Jack characters are a generalization of the characters of the symmetric groups; a generalization that is related to Jack symmetric functions. We investigate the structure coefficients for Jack characters; they are a generalization of the…
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…
A formula of Rodrigues-type for the Jack polynomials is presented. It is seen to imply a weak form of a conjecture of Macdonald and Stanley.
Stanley associated with a graph G a symmetric function X_G which reduces to G's chromatic polynomial under a certain specialization of variables. He then proved various theorems generalizing results about the chromatic polynomial, as well…
We discuss several well known results about Schur functions that can be proved using cancellations in alternating summations; notably we shall discuss the Pieri and Murnaghan-Nakayama rules, the Jacobi-Trudi identity and its dual (Von…
We give a positive equivariant Littlewood-Richardson rule also discovered independently by Molev. Our proof generalizes a proof by Stembridge of the ordinary Littlewood-Richardson rule. We describe a weight-preserving bijection between our…
We show that the shifted rank, or srank, of any partition $\lambda$ with distinct parts equals the lowest degree of the terms appearing in the expansion of Schur's $Q_{\lambda}$ function in terms of power sum symmetric functions. This gives…
The product of any finite number of factorial Schur functions can be expanded as a $Z[y]$-linear combination of Schur functions. We give a rule for computing the coefficients in such an expansion which generalizes a specialization of the…
