BOUNDS ON KRONECKER AND q-BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS

چکیده
We present a lower bound on the Kronecker coefficients of the symmetric group via the characters of Sn, which we apply to obtain various explicit estimates. Notably, we extend Sylvester’s unimodality of q-binomial coefficients ( n k ) q as polynomials in q to derive sharp bounds on the differences of their consecutive coefficients.

Bounds on certain classes of Kronecker and q-binomial coefficients
We present a lower bound on the Kronecker coefficients for tensor squares of the symmetric group via the characters of Sn, which we apply to obtain various explicit estimates. Notably, we extend Sylvester’s unimodality of q-binomial coefficients ( n k ) q as polynomials in q to derive sharp bounds on the differences of their consecutive coefficients. We then derive effective asymptotic lower bo...
متن کاملUnimodality via Kronecker Products
We present new proofs and generalizations of unimodality of the q-binomial coefficients ( n k ) q as polynomials in q. We use an algebraic approach by interpreting the differences between numbers of certain partitions as Kronecker coefficients of representations of Sn. Other applications of this approach include strict unimodality of the diagonal q-binomial coefficients and unimodality of certa...
متن کاملSTRICT UNIMODALITY OF q-BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS
We prove strict unimodality of the q-binomial coefficients ( n k ) q as polynomials in q. The proof is based on the combinatorics of certain Young tableaux and the semigroup property of Kronecker coefficients of Sn representations. Résumé. Nous prouvons l’unimodalité stricte des coefficients q-binomiaux ( n k ) q comme des polynômes en q. La preuve est basée sur la combinatoire de certains Tabl...
متن کاملKronecker coefficients: the tensor square conjecture and unimodality
We consider two aspects of Kronecker coefficients in the directions of representation theory and combinatorics. We consider a conjecture of Jan Saxl stating that the tensor square of the Sn-irreducible representation indexed by the staircase partition contains every irreducible representation of Sn. We present a sufficient condition allowing to determine whether an irreducible representation is...
متن کاملSOME ASYMPTOTIC RESULTS ON q-BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS
q have been investigated in relation to questions of representation theory concerning the growth of Kronecker coefficients. Further, one of the results of this note, Theorem 2.2, has also been motivated by, and finds a first useful application in the study of the unimodality of partitions with distinct parts that are contained inside certain Ferrers diagrams (see our own paper [10]). For m = ⌊a...
