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.

International audience Haglund, Luoto, Mason, and van Willigenburg introduced a basis for quasisymmetric functions called the $\textit{quasisymmetric Schur function basis}$ which are generated combinatorially through fillings of composition diagrams in much the same way as Schur functions are generated through reverse column-strict tableaux. We introduce a new basis for quasisymmetric functions called the $\textit{row-strict quasisymmetric Schur function basis}$ which are generated combinatorially through fillings of composition diagrams in much the same way as Schur functions are generated through row-strict tableaux. We describe the relationship between this new basis and other known bases for quasisymmetric functions, as well as its relationship to Schur polynomials. We obtain a refinement of the omega transform operator as a result of these relationships. Haglund, Luoto, Mason, et van Willigenburg ont introduit une base pour les fonctions quasi-symétriques appelée $\textit{base des fonctions de Schur quasi-symétriques}$, qui sont construites en remplissant des diagrammes de compositions, d'une manière très semblable à la construction des fonctions de Schur à partir des tableaux "column-strict'' (ordre strict sur les colonnes). Nous introduisons une nouvelle base pour les fonctions quasi-symétriques appelée $\textit{base des fonctions de Schur quasi-symétriques "row-strict''}$, qui sont construites en remplissant des diagrammes de compositions, d'une manière très semblable à la construction des fonctions de Schur à partir des tableaux "row-strict'' (ordre strict sur les lignes). Nous décrivons la relation entre cette nouvelle base et d'autres bases connues pour les fonctions quasi-symétriques, ainsi que ses relations avec les polynômes de Schur. Nous obtenons un raffinement de l'opérateur oméga comme conséquence de ces relations.

International audience We define a $0$-Hecke action on composition tableaux, and then use it to derive $0$-Hecke modules whose quasisymmetric characteristic is a quasisymmetric Schur function. We then relate the modules to the weak Bruhat order and use them to derive a new basis for quasisymmetric functions. We also classify those modules that are tableau-cyclic and likewise indecomposable. Finally, we develop a restriction rule that reflects the coproduct of quasisymmetric Schur functions. Nous définissons une action $0$-Hecke sur les tableaux de composition, et ensuite nous l’utilisons pour dériver les modules $0$-Hecke dont la caractéristique quasi-symétrique est une fonction de Schur quasi-symétrique. Nous mettons les modules en relation avec l’ordre de Bruhat faible et les utilisons pour dériver une nouvelle base pour les fonctions quasi-symétriques. Nous classons aussi ces modules qui sont tableau-cycliques et aussi indécomposable. Enfin, nous développons une règle de restriction qui reflète le coproduit des fonctions de Schur quasi-symétriques.

International audience We establish several properties of an algorithm defined by Mason and Remmel (2010) which inserts a positive integer into a row-strict composition tableau. These properties lead to a Littlewood-Richardson type rule for expanding the product of a row-strict quasisymmetric Schur function and a symmetric Schur function in terms of row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions. Nous établissons plusieurs propriétés d'un algorithme défini par Mason et Remmel (2010), qui insère un entier positif dans un tableau dont la forme est une composition, avec ordre strict sur les lignes (row-strict). Ces propriétés conduisent à une règle de type Littlewood-Richardson pour étendre le produit d'une fonction de Schur quasi-symétrique "row-strict'' et d'une fonction de Schur symétrique en termes de fonctions de Schur quasi-symétriques "row-strict''.

International audience We describe a combinatorial formula for the coefficients when the dual immaculate quasisymmetric func- tions are decomposed into Young quasisymmetric Schur functions. We prove this using an analogue of Schensted insertion. We also provide a Remmel-Whitney style rule to generate these coefficients algorithmically.

International audience We refine the classical Littlewood-Richardson rule in several different settings. We begin with a combinatorial rule for the product of a Demazure atom and a Schur function. Building on this, we also describe the product of a quasisymmetric Schur function and a Schur function as a positive sum of quasisymmetric Schur functions. Finally, we provide a combinatorial formula for the product of a Demazure character and a Schur function as a positive sum of Demazure characters. This last rule implies the classical Littlewood-Richardson rule for the multiplication of two Schur functions. Nous décrivons trois nouvelles règles de Littlewood-Richardson, et chaque nouvelle règle partage la vieille règle de Littlewood-Richardson. La première règle multiplie un atome de Demazure et une fonction de Schur. La deuxième multiplie une fonction de quasisymmetric-Schur et une fonction de Schur. La troisième multiplie un caractère de Demazure et une fonction de Schur. Cette dernière règle est une description de la vieille règle de Littlewood-Richardson.

International audience In 2007 Sami Assaf introduced dual equivalence graphs as a method for demonstrating that a quasisymmetric function is Schur positive. The method involves the creation of a graph whose vertices are weighted by Ira Gessel's fundamental quasisymmetric functions so that the sum of the weights of a connected component is a single Schur function. In this paper, we improve on Assaf's axiomatization of such graphs, giving locally testable criteria that are more easily verified by computers. We then demonstrate the utility of this result by giving explicit Schur expansions for a family of Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon polynomials. This family properly contains the previously known case of polynomials indexed by two skew shapes, as was described in a 1995 paper by Christophe Carré and Bernard Leclerc. As an immediate corollary, we gain an explicit Schur expansion for a family of modified Macdonald polynomials in terms of Yamanouchi words. This family includes all polynomials indexed by shapes with less than four cells in the first row and strictly less than three cells in the second row, a slight improvement over the known two column case described in 2005 by James Haglund, Mark Haiman, and Nick Loehr.

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.

A quasisymmetric function is assigned to every double poset (that is, every finite set endowed with two partial orders) and any weight function on its ground set. This generalizes well-known objects such as monomial and fundamental quasisymmetric functions, (skew) Schur functions, dual immaculate functions, and quasisymmetric $\left(P, \omega\right)$-partition enumerators. We prove a formula for the antipode of this function that holds under certain conditions (which are satisfied when the second order of the double poset is total, but also in some other cases); this restates (in a way that to us seems more natural) a result by Malvenuto and Reutenauer, but our proof is new and self-contained. We generalize it further to an even more comprehensive setting, where a group acts on the double poset by automorphisms.

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.

International audience In this article, we show how the compositional refinement of the ``Shuffle Conjecture'' due to Jim Haglund, Jennifer Morse, and Mike Zabrocki can be used to express the image of a Schur function under the Bergeron-Garsia Nabla operator as a weighted sum of a suitable collection of ``Parking Functions.'' The validity of these expressions is, of course, going to be conjectural until the compositional refinement of the Shuffle Conjecture is established.
