We define and study a generalization of the Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficients, which we call the flagged skew LR coefficients. These subsume several previously studied extensions of the LR coefficients. We establish the saturation…
In this exposition we give a simple and complete treatment of A. Knutson and T. Tao's recent proof (http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/math.RT/9807160) of the saturation conjecture, which asserts that the Littlewood-Richardson semigroup is…
The saturation theorem of [Knutson-Tao '99] concerns the nonvanishing of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. In combination with work of [Klyachko '98], it implies [Horn '62]'s conjecture about eigenvalues of sums of Hermitian matrices.…
Given dominant integral weights $\lambda, \mu, \nu$ of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and an element $w$ of its Weyl group, the refined tensor product multiplicity $c_{\lambda \mu}^\nu(w)$ is the multiplicity of the…
By inventing the notion of honeycombs, A. Knutson and T. Tao proved the saturation conjecture for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. The Newell-Littlewood numbers are a generalization of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. By…
We provide direct proofs of product and coproduct formulae for Schur functions where the coefficients (Littlewood--Richardson coefficients) are defined as counting puzzles. The product formula includes a second alphabet for the Schur…
We report about some results, interesting examples, problems and conjectures revolving around the parabolic Kostant partition functions, the parabolic Kostka polynomials and ``saturation'' properties of several generalizations of the…
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…
We introduce a family of rings of symmetric functions depending on an infinite sequence of parameters. A distinguished basis of such a ring is comprised by analogues of the Schur functions. The corresponding structure coefficients are…
The Littlewood-Richardson coefficients describe the decomposition of tensor products of irreducible representations of a simple Lie algebra into irreducibles. Assuming the number of factors is large, one gets a measure on the space of…
In their 2004 paper, Stretched Littlewood-Richardson and Kostka Coefficients, King, Tollu, and Toumazet conjectured that if a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient of value 2 is stretched by a factor of N, the resulting coefficient has value…
J. DeLoera-T. McAllister and K. D. Mulmuley-H. Narayanan-M. Sohoni independently proved that determining the vanishing of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients has strongly polynomial time computational complexity. Viewing these as Schubert…
A method how to construct Boolean-valued models of some fragments of arithmetic was developed in Krajicek (2011), with the intended applications in bounded arithmetic and proof complexity. Such a model is formed by a family of random…
The Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficient counts among many other things the LR tableaux of a given shape and a given content. We prove, that the number of LR tableaux weakly increases if one adds to the shape and the content the shape and…
Rarita-Schwinger equation plays an important role in theoretical physics. Bure\v s et al. generalized it to arbitrary spin $k/2$ in 2002 in the context of Clifford algebras. In this article, we introduce the mean value property, Cauchy's…
It is known that the Schur expansion of a skew Schur function runs over the interval of partitions, equipped with dominance order, defined by the least and the most dominant Littlewood-Richardson filling of the skew shape. We characterise…
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…
Motivated by Sato and Mori's work on the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the modified KdV equation, Mizukawa, Nakajima, and Yamada made a conjecture on 2-reduced Schur functions and Schur's Q-functions. The conjecture claims that…
We point out that the remarkable Knutson and Tao Saturation Theorem and polynomial time algorithms for LP have together an important and immediate consequence in Geometric Complexity Theory. The problem of deciding positivity of…
We continue the work begun by Mickler-Moll investigating the properties of the polynomial eigenfunctions of the Nazarov-Sklyanin quantum Lax operator. By considering products of these eigenfunctions, we produce a novel generalization of a…
