Computation of dilated Kronecker coefficients (Q2399866): Difference between revisions

Let \(N = n_1 n_2 \cdots n_s\), where \(n_1,\dots,n_s\) are positive integers, and write \(\mathbb C^N = \mathbb C^{n_1} \otimes \dots \otimes \mathbb C^{n_s}\). If each \(\mathbb C^{n_i}\) is endowed with the usual Hermitian inner product, then the group \(U(n_1) \times \dots \times U(n_s)\) acts unitarily on the complex vector space \(\mathbb C^N\) via the exterior tensor product. This gives a representation of \(U(n_1) \times \dots \times U(n_s)\) on Sym\((\mathbb C^N\)), the full symmetric algebra of \(\mathbb C^N\). In this paper the authors give an algorithm to compute the multiplicity of an irreducible representation of \(U(n_1) \times \dots \times U(n_s)\); these multiplicities are called the \textit{Kronecker coefficients}. More, their algorithm does not only compute individual Kronecker coefficients, but also symboic formulas that are valid on an entire polyhedral chamber. The approach is based on methods from symplectic geometry and residue calculus. As a corollary, they compute several Hilbert series related to these representations.
