Abstract
We give explicit positive combinatorial interpretations for the plethysm coefficients , when has at most two rows, as counting certain marked trees. In the special case , this also yields a combinatorial interpretation for the corresponding rectangular Kronecker coefficient . While it is easy to express these quantities as differences of counting problems in the complexity class , putting the problem in , our interpretations give a positive counting formula over explicit marked trees.
