Face Structure

We consider bicolored maps, i.e. graphs which are drawn on surfaces, and construct a bijection between (i) oriented maps with arbitary face structure, and (ii) (weighted) non-oriented maps with exactly one face. Above, each non-oriented map is counted with a multiplicity which is based on the concept of the orientability generating series and the measure of orientability of a map. This bijection has the remarkable property of preserving the underlying bicolored graph. Our bijection shows equivalence between two explicit formulas for the top-degree of Jack characters, i.e. (suitably normalized) coefficients in the expansion of Jack symmetric functions in the basis of power-sum symmetric functions.

AbstractThe algebra of so-called shifted symmetric functions on partitions has the property that for all elements a certain generating series, called the q-bracket, is a quasimodular form. More generally, if a graded algebra A of functions on partitions has the property that the q-bracket of every element is a quasimodular form of the same weight, we call A a quasimodular algebra. We introduce a new quasimodular algebra $$\mathcal {T}$$ T consisting of symmetric polynomials in the part sizes and multiplicities.

K Theory

Motivated by work of Buch on set-valued tableaux in relation to the K-theory of the Grassmannian, Lam and Pylyavskyy studied six combinatorial Hopf algebras that can be thought of as K-theoretic analogues of the Hopf algebras of symmetric functions, quasisymmetric functions, noncommutative symmetric functions, and of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer Hopf algebra of permutations. They described the bialgebra structure in all cases that were not yet known but left open the question of finding explicit formulas for the antipode maps. We give combinatorial formulas for the antipode map for the K-theoretic analogues of the symmetric functions, quasisymmetric functions, and noncommutative symmetric functions.

The chromatic quasisymmetric function of a graph was introduced by Shareshian and Wachs as a refinement of Stanley's chromatic symmetric function. An explicit combinatorial formula, conjectured by Shareshian and Wachs, expressing the chromatic quasisymmetric function of the incomparability graph of a natural unit interval order in terms of power sum symmetric functions, is proven. The proof uses a formula of Roichman for the irreducible characters of the symmetric group.

We express the integral form Macdonald polynomials as a weighted sum of Shareshian and Wachs' chromatic quasisymmetric functions of certain graphs. Then we use known expansions of these chromatic quasisymmetric functions into Schur and power sum symmetric functions to provide Schur and power sum formulas for the integral form Macdonald polynomials. Since the (integral form) Jack polynomials are a specialization of integral form Macdonald polynomials, we obtain analogous formulas for Jack polynomials as corollaries.

International Audience

International audience Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series ψ(x, y, z; t, 1 + β) that might be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the rooted hypermap generating series. They made the following conjecture: coefficients of ψ(x, y, z; t, 1+β) are polynomials in β with nonnegative integer coefficients. We prove partially this conjecture, nowadays called b-conjecture, by showing that coefficients of ψ(x, y, z; t, 1 + β) are polynomials in β with rational coefficients. Until now, it was only known that they are rational functions of β. A key step of the proof is a strong factorization property of Jack polynomials when α → 0 that may be of independent interest.

This article is devoted to the study of Jack connection coefficients, a generalization of the connection coefficients of the classical commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group closely related to the theory of Jack symmetric functions. First introduced by Goulden and Jackson (1996) these numbers indexed by three partitions of a given integer $n$ and the Jack parameter $\alpha$ are defined as the coefficients in the power sum expansion of some Cauchy sum for Jack symmetric functions. Goulden and Jackson conjectured that they are polynomials in $\beta = \alpha-1$ with non negative integer coefficients of combinatorial significance, the Matchings-Jack conjecture.In this paper we look at the case when two of the integer partitions are equal to the single part $(n)$. We use an algebraic framework of Lasalle (2008) for Jack symmetric functions and a bijective construction in order to show that the coefficients satisfy a simple recurrence formula and prove the Matchings-Jack conjecture in this case. Furthermore we exhibit the polynomial properties of more general coefficients where the two single part partitions are replaced by an arbitrary number of integer partitions either equal to $(n)$ or $[1^{n-2}2]$.

Special Case

International audience In this paper we establish a new combinatorial formula for zonal polynomials in terms of power-sums. The proof relies on the sign-reversing involution principle. We deduce from it formulas for zonal characters, which are defined as suitably normalized coefficients in the expansion of zonal polynomials in terms of power-sum symmetric functions. These formulas are analogs of recent developments on irreducible character values of symmetric groups. The existence of such formulas could have been predicted from the work of M. Lassalle who formulated two positivity conjectures for Jack characters, which we prove in the special case of zonal polynomials. Dans cet article, nous établissons une nouvelle formule combinatoire pour les polynômes zonaux en fonction des fonctions puissance. La preuve utilise le principe de l'involution changeant les signes. Nous en déduisons des formules pour les caractères zonaux, qui sont définis comme les coefficients des polynômes zonaux écrits sur la base des fonctions puissance, normalisés de manière appropriée. Ces formules sont des analogues de développements récents sur les caractères du groupe symétrique. L'existence de telles formules aurait pu être prédite à partir des travaux de M. Lassalle, qui a proposé deux conjectures de positivité sur les caractères de Jack, que nous prouvons dans le cas particulier des polynômes zonaux.

International audience This paper is devoted to the explicit computation of generating series for the connection coefficients of two commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group, the class algebra and the double coset algebra. As shown by Hanlon, Stanley and Stembridge (1992), these series gives the spectral distribution of some random matrices that are of interest to statisticians. Morales and Vassilieva (2009, 2011) found explicit formulas for these generating series in terms of monomial symmetric functions by introducing a bijection between partitioned hypermaps on (locally) orientable surfaces and some decorated forests and trees. Thanks to purely algebraic means, we recover the formula for the class algebra and provide a new simpler formula for the double coset algebra. As a salient ingredient, we compute an explicit formulation for zonal polynomials indexed by partitions of type $[a,b,1^{n-a-b}]$. Cet article est dédié au calcul explicite des séries génératrices des constantes de structure de deux sous-algèbres commutatives de l'algèbre de groupe du groupe symétrique, l'algèbre de classes et l'algèbre de double classe latérale. Tel que montrè par Hanlon, Stanley and Stembridge (1992), ces séries déterminent la distribution spectrale de certaines matrices aléatoires importantes en statistique. Morales et Vassilieva (2009, 2011) ont trouvè des formules explicites pour ces séries génératrices en termes des monômes symétriques en introduisant une bijection entre les hypercartes partitionnées sur des surfaces (localement) orientables et certains arbres et forêts décorées. Grâce à des moyens purement algébriques, nous retrouvons la formule pour l'algèbre de classe et déterminons une nouvelle formule plus simple pour l'algèbre de double classe latérale. En tant que point saillant de notre démonstration nous calculons une formulation explicite pour les polynômes zonaux indexés par des partitions de type $[a,b,1^{n-a-b}]$.

International audience We prove a Murnaghan–Nakayama rule for k-Schur functions of Lapointe and Morse. That is, we give an explicit formula for the expansion of the product of a power sum symmetric function and a k-Schur function in terms of k-Schur functions. This is proved using the noncommutative k-Schur functions in terms of the nilCoxeter algebra introduced by Lam and the affine analogue of noncommutative symmetric functions of Fomin and Greene. Nous prouvons une règle de Murnaghan-Nakayama pour les fonctions de k-Schur de Lapointe et Morse, c'est-à-dire que nous donnons une formule explicite pour le développement du produit d'une fonction symétrique "somme de puissances'' et d'une fonction de k-Schur en termes de fonctions k-Schur. Ceci est prouvé en utilisant les fonctions non commutatives k-Schur en termes d'algèbre nilCoxeter introduite par Lam et l'analogue affine des fonctions symétriques non commutatives de Fomin et Greene.
