Quasisymmetric functions and a Littlewood-Richardson rule
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Jeffrey Ferreira, UC Davis |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Wed, Mar 9 2011, 12:10PM |
I will give some background on quasisymmetric functions and define a basis for the space of all quasisymmetric functions. This basis exhibits a Littlewood-Richardson type rule under the action of multiplying by a Schur function. If time permits, an application of this rule will be given.
