Some combinatorial properties of skew Jack symmetric functions (Q2138582): Difference between revisions

Summary: Motivated by Stanley's conjecture on the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions [\textit{R. P. Stanley}, Adv. Math. 77, No. 1, 76--115 (1989; Zbl 0743.05072)], we prove a couple of identities showing that skew Jack symmetric functions are semi-invariant up to translation and rotation of a \(\pi\) angle of the skew diagram. It follows that, in some special cases, the coefficients of the skew Jack symmetric functions with respect to the basis of the monomial symmetric functions are polynomials with nonnegative integer coefficients.
