M ar 2 00 6 THE HORN RECURSION FOR SCHUR P - AND Q - FUNCTIONS : EXTENDED ABSTRACT
نویسنده
چکیده
A consequence of work of Klyachko and of Knutson-Tao is the Horn recursion to determine when a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient is non-zero. Briefly, a LittlewoodRichardson coefficient is non-zero if and only if it satisfies a collection of Horn inequalities which are indexed by smaller non-zero Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. There are similar Littlewood-Richardson numbers for Schur P and Qfunctions. Using a mixture of combinatorics of root systems, combinatorial linear algebra in Lie algebras, and the geometry of certain cominuscule flag varieties, we give Horn recursions to determine when these other Littlewood-Richardson numbers are non-zero. Our inequalities come from the usual Littlewood-Richardson numbers, and while we give two very different Horn recursions, they have the same sets of solutions. Another combinatorial by-product of this work is a new Horn-type recursion for the usual Littlewood-Richardson coefficients.

We show that certain differences of products of P-partition generating functions are positive in the basis of fundamental quasi-symmetric functions Lα. This result interpolates between recent Schur positivity and monomial positivity results of the same flavor. We study the case of chains in detail, introducing certain " cell transfer " operations on compositions and an interesting related " L-p...
متن کاملPfaffians and Determinants for Schur Q-Functions
Schur Q-functions were originally introduced by Schur in relation to projective representations of the symmetric group and they can be defined combinatorially in terms of shifted tableaux. In this paper we describe planar decompositions of shifted tableaux into strips and use the shapes of these strips to generate pfaffi.ans and determinants that are equal to Schur Q-functions. As special cases...

The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn integral I GDH (Q 2), and its relation to polarized nu-cleon structure functions, is discussed from the lattice perspective. Of particular interest is the variation of I GDH (Q 2) with Q 2 , and what it may teach us about the origin and magnitude of higher-twist contributions.
متن کاملThe Representations on the Partial Derivatives of the Extended, Generalized Gamma and Incomplete Gamma Functions and Their Applications
In this paper, some recursive relations of the derivatives of the gamma function Γ(α) and incomplete gamma function Γ(α, z) are obtained for complex number α ̸= 0,−1,−2, · · ·. Moreover, the recurrence relation of the derivative of the k−gamma function Γk(x) are also given. Thus, the partial derivative ∂ p+q ∂νp∂μq B(ν, μ) of the Beta function B(ν, μ) can also be represented for p, q = 0, 1, 2, ...
