The Kronecker product of two Schur functions $s_{\lambda}$ and $s_{\mu}$, denoted $s_{\lambda}\ast s_{\mu}$, is defined as the Frobenius characteristic of the tensor product of the irreducible representations of the symmetric group indexed by partitions of $n$, $\lambda$ and $\mu$, respectively. The coefficient, $g_{\lambda,\mu,\nu}$, of $s_{\nu}$ in $s_{\lambda}\ast s_{\mu}$ is equal to the multiplicity of the irreducible representation indexed by $\nu$ in the tensor product. In this paper we give an algorithm for expanding the Kronecker product $s_{(n-p,p)}\ast s_{\lambda}$ if $\lambda_1-\lambda_2\geq 2p$. As a consequence of this algorithm we obtain a formula for $g_{(n-p,p), \lambda ,\nu}$ in terms of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients which does not involve cancellations. Another consequence of our algorithm is that if $\lambda_1-\lambda_2\geq 2p$ then every Kronecker coefficient in $s_{(n-p,p)}\ast s_{\lambda}$ is independent of $n$, in other words, $g_{(n-p,p),\lambda,\nu}$ is stable for all $\nu$.

When studying the category raph of finite graphs and their morphisms, Ave can exploit the fact that this category has products, [we define these ideas in detail in § 2]. This categorical product of graphs is usually called their Kronecker product, though it has been approached by various authors in various ways and under various names, including tensor product, cardinal product, conjunction and of course categorical product (see for example [6; 7; 11 ; 14; 17 and 23]).

Let J1 and J2 be two Jordan algebras with unit elements. We define various tensor products of J1 and J2. The first, which we call the Kronecker product, is the most obvious and is based on the tensor product of the vector spaces. We find conditions sufficient for its existence and for its non-existence. Motivated by the universal mapping property for the tensor product of associative algebras we define, in Section 2, tensor products of J1 and J2 by means of a universal mapping property. The tensor products always exist for special Jordan algebras and need not coincide with the Kronecker product when the latter exists. In Section 3 we construct a more concrete tensor product for special Jordan algebras. Here the tensor product of a special Jordan algebra and an associative Jordan algebra coincides with the Kronecker product of these algebras. We show that this "special" tensor product is the natural tensor product for some Jordan matrix algebras.
