International audience We use the modules introduced by Kraśkiewicz and Pragacz (1987, 2004) to show some positivity propertiesof Schubert polynomials. We give a new proof to the classical fact that the product of two Schubert polynomialsis Schubert-positive, and also show a new result that the plethystic composition of a Schur function with a Schubertpolynomial is Schubert-positive. The present submission is an extended abstract on these results and the full versionof this work will be published elsewhere. Nous employons les modules introduits par Kraśkiewicz et Pragacz (1987, 2004) et démontrons certainespropriétés de positivité des polynômes de Schubert: nous donnons une nouvelle preuve pour le fait classique quele produit de deux polynômes de Schubert est Schubert-positif; nous démontrons aussi un nouveau résultat que lacomposition plethystique d’une fonction de Schur avec un polynôme de Schubert est Schubert-positif. Cet article estun sommaire de ces résultats, et une version pleine de ce travail sera publée ailleurs.

Combinatorics International audience We consider the family of rational functions ψw= ∏( xwi - xwi+1 )-1 indexed by words with no repetition. We study the combinatorics of the sums ΨP of the functions ψw when w describes the linear extensions of a given poset P. In particular, we point out the connexions between some transformations on posets and elementary operations on the fraction ΨP. We prove that the denominator of ΨP has a closed expression in terms of the Hasse diagram of P, and we compute its numerator in some special cases. We show that the computation of ΨP can be reduced to the case of bipartite posets. Finally, we compute the numerators associated to some special bipartite graphs as Schubert polynomials.

The main purpose of this paper is to show that the multiplication of a Schubert polynomial of finite type $A$ by a Schur function, which we refer to as Schubert vs. Schur problem, can be understood combinatorially from the multiplication in the space of dual $k$-Schur functions. Using earlier work by the second author, we encode both problems by means of quasisymmetric functions. On the Schubert vs. Schur side, we study the poset given by the Bergeron-Sottile's $r$-Bruhat order, along with certain operators associated to this order. Then, we connect this poset with a graph on dual $k$-Schur functions given by studying the affine grassmannian order of  Lam-Lapointe-Morse-Shimozono. Also, we define operators associated to the graph on dual $k$-Schur functions which are analogous to the ones given for the Schubert vs. Schur problem. This is the first step of our more general program of showing combinatorially  the positivity of the multiplication of a dual $k$-Schur function by a Schur function.

International audience We introduce a new basis for the algebra of quasisymmetric functions that naturally partitions Schur functions, called quasisymmetric Schur functions. We describe their expansion in terms of fundamental quasisymmetric functions and determine when a quasisymmetric Schur function is equal to a fundamental quasisymmetric function. We conclude by describing a Pieri rule for quasisymmetric Schur functions that naturally generalizes the Pieri rule for Schur functions. Nous étudions une nouvelle base des fonctions quasisymétriques, les fonctions de quasiSchur. Ces fonctions sont obtenues en spécialisant les fonctions de Macdonald dissymétrique. Nous décrivons les compositions que donne une simple fonction quasisymétriques. Nous décrivons aussi une règle par certaines fonctions de Schur.

We introduce the quantum multi–Schur functions, quantum factorial Schur functions and quantum Macdonald polynomials. We prove that for restricted vexillary permutations, the quantum double Schubert polynomial coincides with some quantum multi-Schur function and prove a quantum analog of the Nägelsbach–Kostka and Jacobi–Trudi formulae for the quantum double Schubert polynomials in the case of Grassmannian permutations. We prove also an analog of the Giambelli and the Billey–Jockusch–Stanley formula for quantum Schubert polynomials. Finally we formulate two conjectures about the structure of quantum double and quantum Schubert polynomials for 321–avoiding permutations.

International audience We study the enumeration of diagonally and antidiagonally symmetric alternating sign matrices (DAS- ASMs) of fixed odd order by introducing a case of the six-vertex model whose configurations are in bijection with such matrices. The model involves a grid graph on a triangle, with bulk and boundary weights which satisfy the Yang– Baxter and reflection equations. We obtain a general expression for the partition function of this model as a sum of two determinantal terms, and show that at a certain point each of these terms reduces to a Schur function. We are then able to prove a conjecture of Robbins from the mid 1980's that the total number of (2n + 1) × (2n + 1) DASASMs is∏n (3i)! ,andaconjectureofStroganovfrom2008thattheratiobetweenthenumbersof(2n+1)×(2n+1) i=0 (n+i)! DASASMs with central entry −1 and 1 is n/(n + 1). Among the several product formulae for the enumeration of symmetric alternating sign matrices which were conjectured in the 1980's, that for odd-order DASASMs is the last to have been proved.

International audience The Schubert polynomials lift the Schur basis of symmetric polynomials into a basis for Z[x1; x2; : : :]. We suggest the prism tableau model for these polynomials. A novel aspect of this alternative to earlier results is that it directly invokes semistandard tableaux; it does so as part of a colored tableau amalgam. In the Grassmannian case, a prism tableau with colors ignored is a semistandard Young tableau. Our arguments are developed from the Gr¨obner geometry of matrix Schubert varieties.

International audience For each infinite series of the classical Lie groups of type $B$, $C$ or $D$, we introduce a family of polynomials parametrized by the elements of the corresponding Weyl group of infinite rank. These polynomials represent the Schubert classes in the equivariant cohomology of the corresponding flag variety. They satisfy a stability property, and are a natural extension of the (single) Schubert polynomials of Billey and Haiman, which represent non-equivariant Schubert classes. When indexed by maximal Grassmannian elements of the Weyl group, these polynomials are equal to the factorial analogues of Schur $Q$- or $P$-functions defined earlier by Ivanov. Pour chaque série infinie des groupe de Lie classiques de type $B$,$C$ ou $D$, nous présentons une famille de polynômes indexées par de éléments de groupe de Weyl correspondant de rang infini. Ces polynômes représentent des classes de Schubert dans la cohomologie équivariante des variétés de drapeaux. Ils ont une certain propriété de stabilité, et ils étendent naturellement des polynômes Schubert (simples) de Billey et Haiman, que représentent des classes de Schubert dans la cohomologie non-équivariante. Quand ils sont indexées par des éléments Grassmanniennes de groupes de Weyl, ces polynômes sont égaux à des analogues factorielles de fonctions $Q$ et $P$ de Schur, étudiées auparavant par Ivanov.

International audience In this paper we introduce factorial characters for the classical groups and derive a number of central results. Classically, the factorial Schur function plays a fundamental role in traditional symmetric function theory and also in Schubert polynomial theory. Here we develop a parallel theory for the classical groups, offering combinatorial definitions of the factorial characters for the symplectic and orthogonal groups, and further establish flagged factorial Jacobi-Trudi identities and factorial Tokuyama identities, providing proofs in the symplectic case. These identities are established by manipulating determinants through the use of certain recurrence relations and by using lattice paths.

International audience We expose a rule for multiplying a general Schubert polynomial with a power sum polynomial in $k$ variables. A signed sum over cyclic permutations replaces the signed sum over rim hooks in the classical Murgnahan-Nakayama rule. In the intersection theory of flag manifolds this computes all intersections of Schubert cycles with tautological classes coming from the Chern character. We also discuss extensions of this rule to small quantum cohomology. Nous écrivons une formule pour multiplier les polynômes de Schubert avec les sommes de Newton. Une somme signée de permutations cycliques remplace la somme signée de rubans dans la formule classique de Murgnahan-Nakayama. Nous obtenons donc des relations dans l’anneau de Chow de la variété de drapeaux. Nous discutons également des extensions de cette formule en cohomologie quantique.

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.
