This paper is an extension of parts of the earlier paper \"Bounds on the Kronecker coefficients\" arXiv:1406.2988, which also contains stability results", "categories": [ "math.CO", "math.RT" ], "abstract": "We present a lower bound on the Kronecker coefficients of the symmetric group via the characters of $S_n$, which we apply to obtain various explicit estimates. Notably, we extend Sylvester's unimodality of $q$-binomial coefficients $\\binom{n}{k}_q$ as polynomials in $q$ to derive sharp bounds on the differences of their consecutive coefficients", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-26T21:29:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "binomial coefficients", "extend sylvesters unimodality", "symmetric group", "lower bound", "kronecker coefficients" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.7087P" } } }
