Q-Kostka polynomials and spin Green polynomials

Abstract: We study the

Q

-Kostka polynomials

L_{l a m b d a m u} (t)

by the vertex operator realization of the

Q

-Hall-Littlewood functions

G_{l a m b d a} (x; t)

and derive new formulae for

L_{l a m b d a m u} (t)

. In particular, we have established stability property for the Q-Kostka polynomials. We also introduce spin Green polynomials

Y_{m u}^{l a m b d a} (t)

as both an analogue of the Green polynomials and deformation of the spin irreducible characters of

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

. Iterative formulas of the spin Green polynomials are given and some favorable properties parallel to the Green polynomials are obtained. Tables of

Y_{m u}^{l a m b d a} (t)

are included for

n l e q 7.
