On Plethysm Conjectures of Stanley and Foulkes: The 2 × n Case
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove Stanley’s plethysm conjecture for the 2×n case, which composed with the work of Black and List provides another proof of Foulkes conjecture for the 2× n case. We also show that the way Stanley formulated his conjecture, it is false in general, and suggest an alternative formulation.

On a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals
For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...
متن کاملPlethysm, Partitions with an Even Number of Blocks and Euler Numbers
This paper is based on an hour address given at the Sixth Conference on Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics, held at DIMACS in 1994. It is written primarily for an audience of combinatorialists. Our hope is to publicise some intriguing enumerative conjectures which arise in the study of the homology representations of the poset of (set) partitions with an even number of blocks. The ...

For each n and k, let rfr' denote the poset of all partitions of n having every block size congruent to / mod k. Attach to n£•*' a unique maximal or minimal element if it does not already have one, and denote the resulting poset U%-\ Results of Bjorner, Sagan, and Wachs show that Yl^' and nj, are lexicographically shellable, and hence Cohen-Macaulay. Let /3^ and /jl' * denote the characters of ...
متن کاملA q-Analog of Foulkes' Conjecture
We propose a q-analog of classical plethystic conjectures due to Foulkes. In our conjectures, a divided difference of plethysms of Hall-Littlewood polynomials Hn(x; q) replaces the analogous difference of plethysms of complete homogeneous symmetric functions hn(x) in Foulkes’ conjecture. At q = 0, we get back the original statement of Foulkes, and we show that our version holds at q = 1. We dis...

Koike, K., On a conjecture of Stanley on Jack symmetric functions, Discrete Mathematics 115 (1993) 211-216. The Jack symmetric function J,(x; G() is a symmetric function with interesting properties that J,(x; 2) is a spherical function of the symmetric pair (GL(n, FQ O(n, [w)) and that J,(x; 1) is the Schur function S,(x). Many interesting conjectures about the combinatorial properties of J,(x;...
