Combinatorial Expansions for Families of Noncommutative k-Schur Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply down operators in the affine nilCoxeter algebra to yield explicit combinatorial expansions for certain families of non-commutative kSchur functions. This yields a combinatorial interpretation for a new family of k-Littlewood-Richardson coefficients.

A Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for noncommutative Schur functions
We prove a Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for noncommutative Schur functions introduced by Bessenrodt, Luoto and van Willigenburg. In other words, we give an explicit combinatorial formula for expanding the product of a noncommutative power sum symmetric function and a noncommutative Schur function in terms of noncommutative Schur functions. In direct analogy to the classical Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, ...
متن کاملCombinatorial Expansions in K-Theoretic Bases
We study the class C of symmetric functions whose coefficients in the Schur basis can be described by generating functions for sets of tableaux with fixed shape. Included in this class are the Hall-Littlewood polynomials, k-Schur functions, and Stanley symmetric functions; functions whose Schur coefficients encode combinatorial, representation theoretic and geometric information. While Schur fu...
متن کاملFrom quasisymmetric expansions to Schur expansions via a modified inverse Kostka matrix
Every symmetric function f can be written uniquely as a linear combination of Schur functions, say f = ∑ λ xλsλ, and also as a linear combination of fundamental quasisymmetric functions, say f = ∑ α yαQα. For many choices of f arising in the theory of Macdonald polynomials and related areas, one knows the quasisymmetric coefficients yα and wishes to compute the Schur coefficients xλ. This paper...
متن کاملNoncommutative irreducible characters of the symmetric group and noncommutative Schur functions
In the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions, Sym, the basis of Schur functions is distinguished since every Schur function is isomorphic to an irreducible character of a symmetric group under the Frobenius characteristic map. In this note we show that in the Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions, NSym, of which Sym is a quotient, the recently discovered basis of noncommutative Schur...
متن کاملThe Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for k-Schur functions
We prove a Murnaghan–Nakayama rule for k-Schur functions of Lapointe and Morse. That is, we give an explicit formula for the expansion of the product of a power sum symmetric function and a k-Schur function in terms of k-Schur functions. This is proved using the noncommutative k-Schur functions in terms of the nilCoxeter algebra introduced by Lam and the affine analogue of noncommutative symmet...
