Extremal rays of the equivariant Littlewood-Richardson cone (Q2153406)

Summary: We give an inductive procedure for finding the extremal rays of the equivariant Littlewood-Richardson cone, which is closely related to the solution space to S. Friedland's majorized Hermitian eigenvalue problem. In so doing, we solve the ``rational version'' of a problem posed by \textit{C. Robichaux} et al. [Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 473, 284--335 (2022; Zbl 1489.14033)]. Our procedure is a natural extension of P. Belkale's algorithm for the classical Littlewood-Richardson cone. The main tools for accommodating the equivariant setting are certain foundational results of \textit{D. Anderson} et al. [Compos. Math. 149, No. 9, 1569--1582 (2013; Zbl 1286.15023)]. We also study two families of special rays of the cone and make observations about the Hilbert basis of the associated lattice semigroup.
