Logarithmic concavity of Schur and related polynomials

چکیده
We show that normalized Schur polynomials are strongly log-concave. As a consequence, we obtain Okounkov’s log-concavity conjecture for Littlewood–Richardson coefficients in the special case of Kostka numbers.

Schur-convexity and Schur-geometrically concavity of Gini means
The monotonicity and the Schur-convexity with parameters (s, t) in R2 for fixed (x, y) and the Schur-convexity and the Schur-geometrically convexity with variables (x, y) in R++ for fixed (s, t) of Gini mean G(r, s;x, y) are discussed. Some new inequalities are obtained.
متن کاملLogarithmic Concavity and SI2(C)
We observe that for any logarithmically concave nite sequence a 0 , a 1 , : : : , a n of positive integers there is a representation of the Lie algebra sl 2 (C) from which this logarithmic concav-ity follows. Thus, in applying this strategy to prove logarithmic concavity, the only issue is to construct such a representation naturally from given combinatorial data. As an example, we do this when...
متن کامل2 00 5 Schur Positivity and Schur Log - Concavity
We prove Okounkov’s conjecture, a conjecture of Fomin-FultonLi-Poon, and a special case of Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon’s conjecture on Schur positivity and give several more general statements using a recent result of Rhoades and Skandera. An alternative proof of this result is provided. We also give an intriguing log-concavity property of Schur functions. 1. Schur positivity conjectures The ring of...
متن کاملLog-Concavity and Related Properties of the Cycle Index Polynomials
Let An denote the n-th cycle index polynomial, in the variables Xj , for the symmetric group on n letters. We show that if the variables Xj are assigned nonnegative real values which are logconcave, then the resulting quantities An satisfy the two inequalities An−1An+1 ≤ An ≤ ( n+1 n ) An−1An+1. This implies that the coefficients of the formal power series exp(g(u)) are log-concave whenever tho...
