Generalized Foulkes modules and maximal and minimal constituents of plethysms of Schur functions

Abstract: This paper proves a combinatorial rule giving all maximal and minimal partitions λ such that the Schur function sλ appears in a plethysm of two arbitrary Schur functions. Determining the decomposition of these plethysms has been identified by Stanley as a key open problem in algebraic combinatorics. As corollaries we prove three conjectures of Agaoka on the partitions labelling the lexicographically greatest and least Schur functions appearing in an arbitrary plethysm. We also show that the multiplicity of the… Show more

“…Since false(pffalse)Ωfalse(tfalse) by Lemma 4.3, it follows that χλB,ϕfalse(tfalse)×q=χλY,false(χαfalse)×q·false(χαfalse)×qB,ϕfalse(tfalse)×q.Moreover, by Lemma 2.19, we have that χλY,false(χαfalse)×q=cα,,αλ=c(1),,(1)μ=χμfalse(1false),and thus false⟨χλB,ϕfalse(tfalse)×qfalse⟩=χμfalse(1false)·(false⟨χαPpf,ϕ(t)false⟩)q. By [18, Corollary 9.1] we know that X(α;μ) is an irreducible constituent of χλW. Moreover, scriptX(α;μ)Y,false(χαfalse)…”

“…The first assertion is obvious as χ(pk+1)P=double-struck1Pϕfalse(sfalse). On the other hand, if λ=(pk+11,1), then [18, Corollary 9.1] implies that X(false(pkfalse);false(p1,1false)) is an irreducible constituent of χλfrakturSpkfrakturSpSpk+1 appearing with multiplicity 1. Moreover, X(pk);(p1,1)PfrakturSpkfrakturSp=Xχfalse(pkfalse)PpkfrakturSpk;χfalse(p1,1false)PpfrakturSp=z=1p1Xfalse(1Ppk;ϕzfalse).This shows that ϕ(s) is an irreducible constituent of χλP.…”

“…As a corollary the authors obtain a formula due to Naruse [23] for the number of standard tableaux of shape λ/λ . For further general background on plethysms we refer the reader to [17] and to the survey in [24].…”
