Structure constants for spin Hall--Littlewood functions

Combinatorics 2025-05-09 v2

Abstract

We provide a combinatorial formula for the structure constants of spin Hall--Littlewood functions. This is achieved by representing these functions and the structure constants as the partition function of a lattice model and applying the underlying Yang--Baxter equation. Our combinatorial expression is in terms of generalised honeycombs; the latter were introduced by Knutson and Tao for ordinary Littlewood--Richardson coefficients and applied to the computation of Hall polynomials by Zinn--Justin.
