The question of classifying when two skew Schur functions are equal is a substantial open problem, which remains unsolved for over a century. In 2022, Aliniaeifard, Li and van Willigenburg introduced skew Schur functions in noncommuting…

In this paper we introduce doubly symmetric functions, arising from the equivalence of particular linear combinations of Schur functions and hook Schur functions. We study algebraic and combinatorial aspects of doubly symmetric functions,…

The present paper is a detailed version of math/0003031. We introduce and study a new basis in the algebra of symmetric functions. The elements of this basis are called the Frobenius-Schur functions (FS-functions, for short). Our main…

This work highlights the existence of partial symmetries in large families of iterated plethystic coefficients. The plethystic coefficients involved come from the expansion in the Schur basis of iterated plethysms of Schur functions indexed…

Let $\Lambda$ be the space of symmetric functions and $V_k$ be the subspace spanned by the modified Schur functions $\{S_\lambda[X/(1-t)]\}_{\lambda_1\leq k}$. We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials,…

We introduce the quasi-key basis of the polynomial ring. We prove this basis contains the quasi-Schur polynomials of of Haglund, Luoto, Mason and van Willigenburg and that stable limits of quasi-key polynomials are quasi-Schur functions,…

Cylindric skew Schur functions, which are a generalisation of skew Schur functions, arise naturally in the study of P-partitions. Also, recent work of A. Postnikov shows they have a strong connection with a problem of considerable current…

This paper presents a noncommutative theory of symmetric functions, based on the notion of quasi-determinant. We begin with a formal theory, corresponding to the case of symmetric functions in an infinite number of independent variables.…

In this paper, we study shifted Schur functions $S_\mu^\star$, as well as a new family of shifted symmetric functions $\mathfrak{K}_\mu$ linked to Kostka numbers. We prove that both are polynomials in multi-rectangular coordinates, with…

We describe a combinatorial formula for the coefficients when the dual immaculate quasisymmetric functions are decomposed into Young quasisymmetric Schur functions. We prove this using an analogue of Schensted insertion. Using this result,…

We introduce a new basis of the non-commutative symmetric functions whose commutative images are Schur functions. Dually, we build a basis of the quasi-symmetric functions which expand positively in the fundamental quasi-symmetric functions…

Using the vertex operator representations for symplectic and orthogonal Schur functions, we define two families of symmetric functions and show thatthey are the skew symplectic and skew orthogonal Schur polynomials defined implicitly by…

We introduce a ring of noncommutative shifted symmetric functions based on an integer-indexed sequence of shift parameters. Using generating series and quasideterminants, this multiparameter approach produces deformations of the ring of…

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…

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 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. We then discuss a family of polynomials…
