1 REMARKS ON THE PAPER SKEW PIERI RULES FOR HALL LITTLEWOOD FUNCTIONS BY KONVALINKA AND LAUVE S OLE WARNAAR Abstract In a recent paper Konvalinka and Lauve proved several skew Pieri rules for Hall Littlewood polynomials In this note we show that q-analogues of these rules are encoded in a q-binomial theorem for Macdonald polynomials due to Lascoux and the author The Konvalinka Lauve formulas and their q-analogues We refer the reader to [5] for definitions concerning Hall Littlewood and Macdonald polynomials Let P / = P / (X; t and Q / = Q / (X; t be the skew Hall Littlewood polynomials, e r = P ( r the rth elementary symmetric function, h r the rth complete symmetric function and q r = Q (r Then the ordinary Pieri formulas for Hall Littlewood polynomials are given by [5] (a P e r = vs / (tp (b P q r = hs / (tp, where the sums on the right are over partitions such that = + r The Pieri coefficient vs / (t is given by [5, p 25, (32] (2 vs / (t = [ i ] i+ i i, i t so that vs / (t is zero unless with a vertical strip Similarly, hs / (t vanishes unless with a horizontal strip, in which case [5, p 28, (30] ( (3 hs / (t = t i i+ i = i + i+ = i+ To express the skew Pieri formulas, Konvalinka and Lauve [9] (see also [8] introduced a third Pieri coefficient (4 sk / (t := t [ n(/ i ] i+ i i, i t where n(/ := ( i Note that sk/ (t = 0 if i i Mathematics Subject Classification 33D52,05E05 Work supported by the Australian Research Council
2 2 S OLE WARNAAR It seems Konvalinka and Lauve have been unaware that the above function has appeared in the literature before Indeed, in exactly the above form and denoted as g (t, it was used by Kirillov to prove the Pieri rule [7, Lemma 4] (5 P h r = sk / (tp Moreover, sk / (t arose in [20, Equation (43] as a formula for the modified Hall Littlewood polynomial Q / ( = Q /(, t, t 2, a result first stated in [2, Theorem 3], albeit in the not-so-easily-recognisable form l( Q / ( = t n(/ t i i+ for, (t; t i= i i+ 0 otherwise In a more general form pertaining to Macdonald polynomials it also appeared in [8, p 73, Remark 2] and [9, Proposition 32], see (8 below Prior to the abovementioned papers sk / (t appeared in the theory of abelian p-groups: sk / (t = t n( n( α (; t, where α (; p is the number of subgroups of type in a finite abelian p-group of type, [2 4, 2] Theorem (Konvalinka Lauve [9, Theorems 2 4] For partitions, (6a P / e r =,η ( η vs / (t sk /η (tp /η (6b (6c P / h r =,η ( η sk / (t vs /η (tp /η P / q r =,η,ω( ω t ω η hs / (t vs /ω (t sk ω/η (tp /η, where each of the multiple sums is subject to the restriction + η = + + r For = 0 the first and third skew Pieri formulas reduce to (a and (b respectively, whereas the second formula simplifies to (5 (see also [9, Theorem ] Theorem for t = 0 gives the skew Pieri rules for Schur functions due to Assaf and McNamara [] who, more generally, conjectured a skew Littlewood Richardson rule The identities (6a and (6b were first conjectured by Konvalinka in [8] The subsequent proof of the theorem by Konvalinka and Lauve combines Hopf algebraic techniques in the spirit of the proof of the Assaf McNamara conjecture [0] with intricate manipulations involving t-binomial coefficients The aim of this note is to point out that all of the skew Pieri formulas (6a (6c are implied by a generalised q-binomial theorem for Macdonald polynomials and, consequently, have simple q-analogues From here on let P / = P / (X; q, t and Q / = Q / (X; q, t denote skew Macdonald polynomials Let f be an arbitrary symmetric function Adopting plethystic or -ring notation, see eg, [5, ], we define f ( (a b/( t in terms of the power sums with positive index r as p r ( a b t = ar b r t r
