Extended Abstract", "authors": [ "Cristian Lenart" ], "categories": [ "math.CO", "math.RT" ], "abstract": "A breakthrough in the theory of (type A) Macdonald polynomials is due to Haglund, Haiman and Loehr, who exhibited a combinatorial formula for these polynomials in terms of fillings of Young diagrams. Recently, Ram and Yip gave a formula for the Macdonald polynomials of arbitrary type in terms of the corresponding affine Weyl group. In this paper, we show that a Haglund-Haiman-Loehr type formula follows naturally from the more general Ram-Yip formula, via compression. Then we extend this approach to the Hall-Littlewood polynomials of type C, which are specializations of the corresponding Macdonald polynomials at q=0. We note that no analog of the Haglund-Haiman-Loehr formula exists beyond type A, so our work is a first step towards finding such a formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-11-25T18:28:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05" ], "keywords": [ "hall-littlewood polynomials", "combinatorial formula", "extended abstract", "corresponding affine weyl group", "general ram-yip formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0811.4152L" } } }
