A k-TABLEAU CHARACTERIZATION OF k-SCHUR FUNCTIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study k-Schur functions characterized by k-tableaux, proving combinatorial properties such as a k-Pieri rule and a k-conjugation. This new approach relies on developing the theory of k-tableaux, and includes the introduction of a weight-permuting involution on these tableaux that generalizes the Bender-Knuth involution. This work lays the groundwork needed to prove that the set of k-Schur Littlewood-Richardson coefficients contains the 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants; structure constants for the quantum cohomology ring.

Tableau Atoms and a New Macdonald Positivity Conjecture
Let 3 be the space of symmetric functions, and let Vk be the subspace spanned by the modified Schur functions {Sλ[X/(1−t)]}λ1≤k . We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials, {A λ [X; t]}λ1≤k , constructed from sums of tableaux using the charge statistic. We conjecture that the polynomials A λ [X; t] form a basis for Vk and that the Macdonald polynomials indexed by partitions whose first...
متن کاملOn a conjecture of a bound for the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a finite $p$-group
Let $G$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(G)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. We show that $exp(M^{(c)}(G))$ divides $exp(G)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $M^{(c)}(G)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $G$. This implies that $exp( M(G))$ divides $exp(G)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. Moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...
متن کاملAffine dual equivalence and k-Schur functions
The k-Schur functions were first introduced by Lapointe, Lascoux and Morse [18] in the hopes of refining the expansion of Macdonald polynomials into Schur functions. Recently, an alternative definition for k-Schur functions was given by Lam, Lapointe, Morse, and Shimozono [17] as the weighted generating function of starred strong tableaux which correspond with labeled saturated chains in the Br...
متن کاملThom polynomials and Schur functions I
We give the Thom polynomials for the singularities I2,2, and A3 associated with maps (C•, 0) → (C, 0) with parameter k ≥ 0. We give the Schur function expansions of these Thom polynomials. Moreover, for the singularities Ai (with any parameter k ≥ 0) we analyze the “first approximation” F (i) to the Thom polynomial. Our computations combine the characterization of Thom polynomials via the “meth...
متن کاملThe Shifted Plactic Monoid
We introduce a shifted analog of the plactic monoid of Lascoux and Schützenberger, the shifted plactic monoid. It can be defined in two different ways: via the shifted Knuth relations, or using Haiman’s mixed insertion. Applications include: a new combinatorial derivation (and a new version of) the shifted Littlewood-Richardson Rule; similar results for the coefficients in the Schur expansion o...
