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 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…
Inspired by the spin-inversion statistics of Schilling et al. and Haglund et al., we relate the symmetry of ribbon functions to a result of van Leeuwen, and also describe the multiplication of a domino function by a Schur function.
We attempt to explain the ubiquity of tableaux and of Pieri and Cauchy formulae for combinatorially defined families of symmetric functions. We show that such formulae are to be expected from symmetric functions arising from representations…
We introduce a shifted analogue of the ribbon tableaux defined by James and Kerber. For any positive integer $k$, we give a bijection between the $k$-ribbon fillings of a shifted shape and regular fillings of a $\lfloor k/2\rfloor$-tuple of…
We study in detail the Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions in superspace sNSym, introduced by Fishel, Lapointe and Pinto. We introduce a family of primitive elements of sNSym and extend the noncommutative elementary and power…
Starting from known $q$-analogues of ordinary SU(n) tensor products multiplicities, we introduce $q$-analogues of the fusion coefficients of the WZW conformal field theories associated with SU(n). We conjecture combinatorial interpretations…
q-Supernomial coefficients are generalizations of the q-binomial coefficients. They can be defined as the coefficients of the Hall-Littlewood symmetric function in a product of the complete symmetric functions or the elementary symmetric…
We first introduce a new presentation for the mirabolic Hecke algebra $\mathscr{H}_{n,R}(q)$ over an arbitrary commutative ring $R$ and derive a new basis. Based on this presentation, specializing to the case of $\mathscr{H}_n(q)$ over the…
We investigate a generalization of the classical notion of a Schur functor associated to a ribbon diagram. These functors are defined with respect to an arbitrary algebra, and in the case that the underlying algebra is the…
Lam and Pylyavskyy introduced loop symmetric functions as a generalization of symmetric functions. They defined loop Schur functions as generating functions over semistandard tableaux with respect to a `colored weight,' and they proved a…
We make a systematic study of a new combinatorial construction called a dual equivalence graph. We axiomatize these graphs and prove that their generating functions are symmetric and Schur positive. By constructing a graph on ribbon…
A $k$-ribbon tiling is a decomposition of a connected skew diagram into disjoint ribbons of size $k$. In this paper, we establish a connection between a subset of $k$-ribbon tilings and Petrie symmetric functions, thus providing a…
Some new relations on skew Schur function differences are established both combinatorially using Sch\"utzenberger's jeu de taquin, and algebraically using Jacobi-Trudi determinants. These relations lead to the conclusion that certain…
We define an equivalence relation on integer compositions and show that two ribbon Schur functions are identical if and only if their defining compositions are equivalent in this sense. This equivalence is completely determined by means of…
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…
Let R_n be the ring of coinvariants for the diagonal action of the symmetric group S_n. It is known that the character of R_n as a doubly-graded S_n module can be expressed using the Frobenius characteristic map as \nabla e_n, where e_n is…
We introduce new families of cylindric symmetric functions as subcoalgebras in the ring of symmetric functions $\Lambda$ (viewed as a Hopf algebra) which have non-negative structure constants. Combinatorially these cylindric symmetric…
We study k-Schur functions characterized by k-tableaux, proving combinatorial properties such as a k-Pieri rule and a k-conjugation. This new approach relies on developing the theory of k-tableaux, and includes the introduction of a…
A Pfaffian-type Murnaghan-Nakayama rule is derived for the Hecke-Clifford algebra $\mathcal{H}^c_n$ based on the Frobenius formula and vertex operators, and this leads to a combinatorial version via the tableaux realization of Schur's…
