Stanley Symmetric Functions and Peterson Algebras
These are (mostly) expository notes for lectures on affine Stanley symmetric functions given at the Fields Institute in 2010. We focus on the algebraic and combinatorial parts of the theory. The notes contain a number of exercises and open problems. Stanley symmetric functions are a family {Fw | w ∈ Sn} of symmetric functions indexed by permutations. They were invented by Stanley [Sta] to enume...
متن کاملSymmetric functions Lecture Notes: Schur functions
If f ∈ Z[Xn]n and g ∈ An then fg ∈ An and so An is a Z[Xn]n -module. The symmetric group Sn acts on Z≥0 by permuting the coordinates. If Z = {(γ1, . . . , γ) | γi ∈ Z}, P = {(γ1, . . . , γ) ∈ Z | γ1 ≥ γ2 ≥ · · · ≥ γn}, and P = {(γ1, . . . , γ) ∈ Z | γ1 > γ2 > · · · > γn}, then P is a set of representatives of the orbits of the Sn action on Z and the map defined by P −→ P λ 7−→ λ+ ρ where ρ = (n...
متن کاملAffine Stanley Symmetric Functions
We define a new family F̃w(X) of generating functions for w ∈ S̃n which are affine analogues of Stanley symmetric functions. We establish basic properties of these functions such as their symmetry and conjecture certain positivity properties. As an application, we relate these functions to the k-Schur functions of Lapointe, Lascoux and Morse as well as the cylindric Schur functions of Postnikov. ...
متن کاملShift Operators and Factorial Symmetric Functions
A new class of symmetric functions called factorial Schur symmetric functions has recently been discovered in connection with a branch of mathematical physics. We align this theory more closely with the s tandard symmetric function theory, giving the factorial Schur function a tableau definition, introducing a shift operator and a new generat ing function with which we extend to factorial symme...
متن کاملSkew Quasisymmetric Schur Functions and Noncommutative Schur Functions
Recently a new basis for the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions QSym, called quasisymmetric Schur functions, has been introduced by Haglund, Luoto, Mason, van Willigenburg. In this paper we extend the definition of quasisymmetric Schur functions to introduce skew quasisymmetric Schur functions. These functions include both classical skew Schur functions and quasisymmetric Schur functions ...
