Abstract: We present two symmetric function operators $H_3^{qt}$ and $H_4^{qt}$ that have the property $H_3^{qt}{H}_{(2^a{1}^b)}[X;q,t]=H_{(32^a{1}^b)}[X;q,t]$ and $H_4^{qt}{H}_{(2^a{1}^b)}[X;q,t]=H_{(42^a{1}^b)}[X;q,t]$. These operators are generalizations of the analogous operator $H_2^{qt}$ and also have expressions in terms of Hall-Littlewood vertex operators. We also discuss statistics, $a_{mu}(T)$ and $b_{mu}(T)$, on standard tableaux such that the $q,t$ Kostka polynomials are given by the sum over standard tableaux of shape $la$, $K_{lamu}(q,t)=su{m}_T{t}^{a_{mu}(T)}{q}^{b_{mu}(T)}$ for the case when when $mu$ is two columns or of the form $(32^a{1}^b)$ or $(42^a{1}^b)$. This provides proof of the positivity of the $(q,t)$-Kostka coefficients in the previously unknown cases of $K_{la(32^a{1}^b)}(q,t)$ and $K_{la(42^a{1}^b)}(q,t)$. The vertex operator formulas are used to give formulas for generating functions for classes of standard tableaux that generalize the case when $mu$ is two columns.

Review text

We present two symmetric function operators \(H_3^{qt}\) and \(H_4^{qt}\) that have the following properties: \(H_{m}^{qt} H_{(2^a1^b)}(X;q,t) = H_{(m2^a1^b)}(X;q,t)\) and \(H_4^{qt} H_{(2^a1^b)}(X;q,t) = H_{(42^a1^b)}(X;q,t)\). These operators are generalizations of the analogous operator \(H_2^{qt}\) and also have expressions in terms of Hall-Littlewood vertex operators. We also discuss statistics, \(a_{\mu}(T)\) and \(b_{\mu}(T)\), on standard tableaux such that the \(q,t\) Kostka polynomials are given by the sum over standard tableaux of shape \(\lambda\), \(K_{\lambda\mu}(q,t) = \sum_T t^{a_{\mu}(T)} q^{b_{\mu}(T)}\) for the case when \(\mu\) is two columns or of the form \((32^a1^b)\) or \((42^a1^b)\). This provides a proof of the positivity of the \((q,t)\)-Kostka coefficients in the previously unknown cases of \(K_{\lambda (32^a1^b)}(q,t)\) and \(K_{\lambda (42^a1^b)}(q,t)\). The vertex operator formulas are used to give formulas for generating functions for classes of standard tableaux that generalize the case when \(\mu\) is two columns.
