چکیده
We present a single operation for constructing skew diagrams whose corresponding skew Schur functions are equal. This combinatorial operation naturally generalises and unifies all results of this type to date. Moreover, our operation suggests a closely related condition that we conjecture is necessary and sufficient for skew diagrams to yield equal skew Schur functions.

A Combinatorial Classification of Skew Schur Functions

متن کاملSkew row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions
Mason and Remmel introduced a basis for quasisymmetric functions known as the row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions. This basis is generated combinatorially by fillings of composition diagrams that are analogous to the row-strict tableaux that generate Schur functions. We introduce a modification known as Young row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions, which are generated by row-strict You...

We classify the Q-multiplicity-free skew Schur Q-functions. Towards this result, we also provide new relations between the shifted Littlewood-Richardson coeffi-
متن کاملPositivity Questions for Cylindric Skew Schur Functions
Recent work of A. Postnikov shows that cylindric skew Schur functions, which are a generalisation of skew Schur functions, have a strong connection with a problem of considerable current interest: that of finding a combinatorial proof of the non-negativity of the 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants. After explaining this motivation, we study cylindric skew Schur functions from the point of view of...
متن کاملA Pieri rule for skew shapes
The Pieri rule expresses the product of a Schur function and a single row Schur function in terms of Schur functions. We extend the classical Pieri rule by expressing the product of a skew Schur function and a single row Schur function in terms of skew Schur functions. Like the classical rule, our rule involves simple additions of boxes to the original skew shape. Our proof is purely combinator...
