Abstract

The Kronecker coefficients and the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are nonnegative integers depending on three partitions. By definition, these coefficients are the multiplicities of the tensor product decomposition of two irreducible representations of symmetric groups (resp. linear groups). By a classical Littlewood-Murnaghan's result the Kronecker coefficients extend the Littlewood-Richardson ones.The nonvanishing of a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient implies linear inequalities on the triple of partitions, called Horn inequalities. In thispaper, we extend the essential Horn inequalities to the triples of partitions corresponding to a nonzero Kronecker coefficient.
