A Generalization of the Kostka-foulkes Polynomials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Combinatorial objects called rigged configurations give rise to q-analogues of certain Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. The Kostka-Foulkes polynomials and twocolumn Macdonald-Kostka polynomials occur as special cases. Conjecturally these polynomials coincide with the Poincaré polynomials of isotypic components of certain graded GL(n)-modules supported in a nilpotent conjugacy class closure in gl(n).

Kostka–foulkes Polynomials for Symmetrizable Kac–moody Algebras
We introduce a generalization of the classical Hall–Littlewood and Kostka–Foulkes polynomials to all symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebras. We prove that these Kostka–Foulkes polynomials coincide with the natural generalization of Lusztig’s t-analog of weight multiplicities, thereby extending a theorem of Kato. For g an affine Kac–Moody algebra, we define t-analogs of string functions and use Chered...
متن کاملHall-littlewood Vertex Operators and Generalized Kostka Polynomials Mark Shimozono and Mike Zabrocki
Kostka-Folkes polynomials may be considered as coefficients of the formal power series representing the character of certain graded GL(n)-modules. These GL(n)-modules are defined by twisting the coordinate ring of the nullcone by a suitable line bundle [1] and the definition may be generalized by twisting the coordinate ring of any nilpotent conjugacy closure in gl(n) by a suitable vector bundl...
متن کاملUnimodality of generalized Gaussian coefficients
A combinatorial proof of the unimodality of the generalized q-Gaussian coefficients [ N λ ] q based on the explicit formula for Kostka-Foulkes polynomials is given. 1. Let us mention that the proof of the unimodality of the generalized Gaussian coefficients based on theoretic-representation considerations was given by E.B. Dynkin [1] (see also [2], [10], [11]). Recently K.O’Hara [6] gave a cons...
متن کاملUbiquity of Kostka Polynomials
We report about results revolving around Kostka–Foulkes and parabolic Kostka polynomials and their connections with Representation Theory and Combinatorics. It appears that the set of all parabolic Kostka polynomials forms a semigroup, which we call Liskova semigroup. We show that polynomials frequently appearing in Representation Theory and Combinatorics belong to the Liskova semigroup. Among ...
متن کاملKostka–Foulkes polynomials and Macdonald spherical functions
Generalized Hall–Littlewood polynomials (Macdonald spherical functions) and generalized Kostka–Foulkes polynomials (q-weight multiplicities) arise in many places in combinatorics, representation theory, geometry, and mathematical physics. This paper attempts to organize the different definitions of these objects and prove the fundamental combinatorial results from “scratch”, in a presentation w...
