Abstract

Asvin G and Andrew O'Desky recently introduced the graded algebra PΛ\Lambda of polysymmetric functions as a generalization of the algebra Λ\Lambda of symmetric functions. This article develops combinatorial formulas for some multiplication rules and transition matrix entries for PΛ\Lambda that are analogous to well-known classical formulas for Λ\Lambda. In more detail, we consider pure tensor bases {sτ}\{s^{\otimes}_{\tau}\}, {pτ}\{p^{\otimes}_{\tau}\}, and {mτ}\{m^{\otimes}_{\tau}\} for PΛ\Lambda that arise as tensor products of the classical Schur basis, power-sum basis, and monomial basis for Λ\Lambda. We find expansions in these bases of the non-pure bases {Pδ}\{P_{\delta}\}, {Hδ}\{H_{\delta}\}, {Eδ+}\{E^+_{\delta}\}, and {Eδ}\{E_{\delta}\} studied by Asvin G and O'Desky. The answers involve tableau-like structures generalizing semistandard tableaux, rim-hook tableaux, and the brick tabloids of E\u{g}ecio\u{g}lu and Remmel. These objects arise by iteration of new Pieri-type rules that give expansions of products such as sσHδs^{\otimes}_{\sigma}H_{\delta}, pσEδp^{\otimes}_{\sigma}E_{\delta}, etc.
