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.

We give a basis for the space spanned by the sum $\hat{s}_\lambda$ of the lowest degree terms in the expansion of the Schur symmetric functions $s_\lambda$ in terms of the power sum symmetric functions $p_\mu$, where deg$(p_i)=1$. These lowest degree terms correspond to minimal border strip tableaux of $\lambda$. The dimension of the space spanned by $\hat{s}_\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a partition of $n$, is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into parts differing by at least 2. Applying the Rogers-Ramanujan identity, the generating function also counts the number of partitions of $n$ into parts $5k+1$ and $5k-1$. We also show that a symmetric function closely related to $\hat{s}_\lambda$ has the same coefficients when expanded in terms of power sums or augmented monomial symmetric functions.

Class Of Functions

International audience A new class of functions is studied. We define the Brauer-Schur functions $B^{(p)}_{\lambda}$ for a prime number $p$, and investigate their properties. We construct a basis for the space of symmetric functions, which consists of products of $p$-Brauer-Schur functions and Schur functions. We will see that the transition matrix from the natural Schur function basis has some interesting numerical properties.

Noncommutative Setting

International audience Noncommutative symmetric functions have many properties analogous to those of classical (commutative) symmetric functions. For instance, ribbon Schur functions (analogs of the classical Schur basis) expand positively in noncommutative monomial basis. More of the classical properties extend to noncommutative setting as I will demonstrate introducing a new family of noncommutative symmetric functions, depending on one parameter. It seems to be an appropriate noncommutative analog of the Hall-Littlewood polynomials. Les fonctions symétriques non commutatives ont de nombreuses propriétés analogues à celles des fonctions symétriques classiques (commutatives). Par exemple, les fonctions de Schur en rubans (analogues de la base de Schur classique) admettent des développements à coefficients positifs dans la base des monômes non commutatifs. La plupart des propriétés classiques s'étendent au cas non commutatif, comme je le montrerai en introduisant une nouvelle famille de fonctions symétriques non commutatives, dépendant d'un paramètre. Cette famille semble être un analogue non commutatif approprié de la famille des polynômes de Hall-Littlewood.

International audience We construct the affine version of the Fomin-Kirillov algebra, called the affine FK algebra, to investigatethe combinatorics of affine Schubert calculus for typeA. We introduce Murnaghan-Nakayama elements and Dunklelements in the affine FK algebra. We show that they are commutative as Bruhat operators, and the commutativealgebra generated by these operators is isomorphic to the cohomology of the affine flag variety. As a byproduct, weobtain Murnaghan-Nakayama rules both for the affine Schubert polynomials and affine Stanley symmetric functions. This enable us to expressk-Schur functions in terms of power sum symmetric functions. We also provide the defi-nition of the affine Schubert polynomials, polynomial representatives of the Schubert basis in the cohomology of theaffine flag variety.

Skew Schur Functions

International audience In this extended abstract, we extend recent results of Assaf and McNamara, the skew Pieri rule and the skew Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, to a more general identity, which gives an elegant expansion of the product of a skew Schur function with a quantum power sum function in terms of skew Schur functions. We give two proofs, one completely bijective in the spirit of Assaf-McNamara's original proof, and one via Lam-Lauve-Sotille's skew Littlewood-Richardson rule. Dans cet article nous élargissons le cadre de résultats récents de Assaf et McNamara, la règle dissymétrique de Pieri et la règle dissymétrique de Murnaghan-Nakayama, pour obtenir une identité plus générale donnant un développement élégant du produit de la fonction de Schur dissymétrique par une somme de puissances quantiques, en termes de fonctions de Schur dissymétriques. Nous donnons deux démonstrations, la première suivant l'approche de Assaf-McNamara et la deuxième par le biais de la règle dissymétrique de Littlewood-Richardson obtenue par Lam-Lauve-Sotille.

International audience We construct a poset from a simple acyclic digraph together with a valuation on its vertices, and we compute the values of its Möbius function. We show that the weak order on Coxeter groups $A$<sub>$n-1$</sub>, $B$<sub>$n$</sub>, $Ã$<sub>$n$</sub>, and the flag weak order on the wreath product &#8484;<sub>$r$</sub> &#8768; $S$<sub>$n$</sub> introduced by Adin, Brenti and Roichman (2012), are special instances of our construction. We conclude by briefly explaining how to use our work to define quasi-symmetric functions, with a special emphasis on the $A$<sub>$n-1$</sub> case, in which case we obtain the classical Stanley symmetric function. On construit une famille d’ensembles ordonnés à partir d’un graphe orienté, simple et acyclique munit d’une valuation sur ses sommets, puis on calcule les valeurs de leur fonction de Möbius respective. On montre que l’ordre faible sur les groupes de Coxeter $A$<sub>$n-1$</sub>, $B$<sub>$n$</sub>, $Ã$<sub>$n$</sub>, ainsi qu’une variante de l’ordre faible sur les produits en couronne &#8484;<sub>$r$</sub> &#8768; $S$<sub>$n$</sub> introduit par Adin, Brenti et Roichman (2012), sont des cas particuliers de cette construction. On conclura en expliquant brièvement comment ce travail peut-être utilisé pour définir des fonction quasi-symétriques, en insistant sur l’exemple de l’ordre faible sur $A$<sub>$n-1$</sub> où l’on obtient les séries de Stanley classiques.

Chromatic Symmetric Function

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.

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.

Formal Power

For every finite graded poset $P$ with $\hat{0}$ and $\hat{1}$ we associate a certain formal power series $F_P(x) = F_P(x_1,x_2,\dots)$ which encodes the flag $f$-vector (or flag $h$-vector) of $P$. A relative version $F_{P/\Gamma}$ is also defined, where $\Gamma$ is a subcomplex of the order complex of $P$. We are interested in the situation where $F_P$ or $F_{P/\Gamma}$ is a symmetric function of $x_1,x_2,\dots$. When $F_P$ or $F_{P/\Gamma}$ is symmetric we consider its expansion in terms of various symmetric function bases, especially the Schur functions. For a class of lattices called $q$-primary lattices the Schur function coefficients are just values of Kostka polynomials at the prime power $q$, thus giving in effect a simple new definition of Kostka polynomials in terms of symmetric functions. We extend the theory of lexicographically shellable posets to the relative case in order to show that some examples $(P,\Gamma)$ are relative Cohen-Macaulay complexes. Some connections with the representation theory of the symmetric group and its Hecke algebra are also discussed.

Quasisymmetric Schur Functions

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.
