1 Contemporary Mathematics Hilbert scheme intersection numbers, Hurwitz numbers, and Gromov-Witten invariants Wei-Ping Li 1, Zhenbo Qin 2, and Weiqiang Wang 3 Abstract. Some connections of the ordinary intersection numbers of the Hilbert scheme of points on surfaces to the Hurwitz numbers for P 1 as well as to the relative Gromov-Witten invariants of P 1 are established. 1. Introduction In [LQW2], a direct algebraic relation between the equivariant cohomology ring of the Hilbert scheme C 2 of n points on the affine plane and the Gromov- Witten theory of the complex projective line P 1 has been found. This Gromov- Witten/Hilbert correspondence was formulated in the operator formalism of Fock space. In concrete terms, for partitions λ, µ of n, the so-called N-point function F λ,µz 1,..., z N of disconnected stationary Gromov-Witten invariants of P 1 relative to 0, P 1 studied extensively by Okounkov and Pandharipande [OP1] is identified precisely with a generating function of the equivariant intersection numbers of Hilbert schemes. Furthermore, the insertions associated to the point class in P 1 at the marked points in the Gromov-Witten theory corresponds precisely to the insertions of the equivariant Chern characters on the Hilbert scheme side. These results will be reviewed in Sect. 2. The results of [LQW2] has been generalized to the minimal resolution associated to a cyclic subgroup of SL 2 C [QW]. It is natural to ask if there is any natural connection between the ordinary intersection numbers on Hilbert schemes and Gromov-Witten invariants of P 1. We may also ask for a natural connection between the intersection numbers on Hilbert schemes and Hurwitz numbers. Note that the stationary Gromov-Witten invariants on P 1 have been known cf. [OP1] to be equivalent to the Hurwitz numbers for P 1. Thus, these two questions are closely related. The modest goal of this note is to establish some precise relations of these sorts without really computing these 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

2 2 LI, QIN, AND WANG numbers explicitly. It has been believed that there should be some deep geometric connections behind and beyond the Gromov-Witten/Hilbert correspondence of [LQW2] and of this note. The recent remarkable works [MNOP, OP2] seem to be providing a right geometric framework. Let X be a smooth projective complex surface, and X be the Hilbert scheme of n points on X. Let H X be the total cohomology of X with complex coefficients. It is by now well known [Na1, Na2, Gro] that H X = H X n=0 is a Fock space of a Heisenberg algebra generated by the geometrically constructed operators a m α EndH X with m Z and α H X. Given an ideal I in the cohomology ring H X, define I to be the subspace of H X spanned by Heisenberg monomial classes a n1 α 1 a nb α b 0 where α i I for some i and n 1,..., n b > 0 with l n l = n. By the Lemma 2.7 i in [LQW1], I is an ideal in the cohomology ring H X. Recall for a partition λ of n, we have the Heisenberg monomial class a λ 1 X H X see 2.5 for a definition. One main result in this paper is the following theorem. Theorem 1.1. Let 2 k n, µ n, and ςz = e z/2 e z/2. Then, 1.1 a 1 n k k1 X a µ 1 X c λ k,µ a λ 1 X mod I λ n lλ=lµ+1 k where c λ k,µ is the coefficient of zk 1 in k 1! z λ F ςz λ,µz, and I = 4 H i X. We remark that the structure constants c λ k,µ above can be reduced by the Theorem 2.12 in [LQW1] to the affine plane case and then the Theorem 4.10 in [Lehn] becomes applicable, while the 1-point disconnected series F λ,µ z is given by Proposition 4.1 in [LQW2] which generalizes the 1-point connected series Fλ,µ z calculated earlier in [OP1]. Theorem 1.1 reveals a very interesting connection between these seemingly unrelated numbers, and can be regarded as the numerical aspect of the Gromov-Witten/Hilbert correspondence discovered in [LQW2]. Theorem 1.1 is verified in Sect. 4. The main idea in the proof is to use results from [LQW1, LQW2], together with the geometric realization of Heisenberg monomial classes. Such a geometric realization up to a possible ambiguity of the exact scalar multiple seems to be folklore, and we provide a detailed proof of it in Sect. 3. Our Theorem 1.1 handles the cup product a 1 n k k1 X a µ 1 X mod I
3 HILBERT, HURWITZ, AND GROMOV-WITTEN 3 for the partition 1 n k k of n. By Lemma 2.11 in [LQW1] also cf. [Lehn], the quotient ring H X /I is generated by the n 1 cohomology classes a 1 n k k1 X mod I, 2 k n. It follows that the cup product a ν 1 X a µ 1 X mod I for an arbitrary partition ν n can be obtained by repeatedly applying Theorem 1.1. In other words, the structure constants of a ν 1 X a µ 1 X mod I are also related to Gromov-Witten invariants. We might ask further how the structure constants in the cup product a ν 1 X a µ 1 X for two arbitrary partitions ν and µ of n, not modulo the ideal I, are related to Gromov-Witten theory. A natural class of surfaces for such a potential study could be the minimal resolutions [QW], or the toric surfaces studied by Nakajima and [LQW3] which are the total spaces of line bundles over P 1. In Sect. 5, we establish a precise identity between some general structure constants under the cup product of the Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane and certain Hurwitz numbers for P 1 Theorem 5.2. A theorem of Lehn-Sorger [LS] and independently of Vasserot [Vas] on the cohomology ring H C 2 is essential in its proof. We refer to [GJV] for more references on single Hurwitz numbers and a recent development which relates double Hurwitz numbers to Gromov-Witten theory. Acknowledgments.

Hilbert schemes and Gromov-Witten invariants for P 1 In this section, we recall from [Na1, Na2, Gro] the geometric constructions of Heisenberg operators on the cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces. We will also review results from [Vas, LQW2] concerning Heisenberg operators on the equivariant cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane and their relations with the Gromov-Witten theory of the projective line Let X be a smooth projective complex surface, and let X be the Hilbert scheme of points in X. An element in X is represented by a length-n 0-dimensional closed subscheme of X. Fix n > 0. For m 0, let Q [m,m] = and define Q [m+n,m] to be the closed subset: 2.1 {ξ, x, η X [m+n] X X [m] ξ η and SuppI η /I ξ = {x}}. The linear operator a n α EndH X
4 4 LI, QIN, AND WANG with α H X is defined by 2.2 a n αa = p 1 [Q [m+n,m] ] ρ α p 2a for a H X [m], where p 1, ρ, p 2 are the projections of X [m+n] X X [m] to X [m+n], X, X [m] respectively. Define a n α EndH X to be 1 n times the operator obtained from the definition of a n α by switching the roles of p 1 and p 2. We also set a 0 α = 0. These linear operators a m α EndH X with m Z and α H X satisfy the Heisenberg algebra commutation relation: 2.3 [a m α, a n β] = m δ m, n αβ Id HX. The space H X is the Fock space i.e. an irreducible module over the Heisenberg algebra generated by the linear operators a m α with a highest weight vector X 0 = 1 H 0 X [0] = C. It follows that H X is linearly spanned by all the Heisenberg monomial classes a n1 α 1 a nk α k 0 where k 0, n 1,..., n k > 0, and α 1,..., α k H X. For a partition λ = 1 m1 2 m2... where m i stands for the multiplicity of part i in λ, we introduce the notations: λ = r 1 rm r, lλ = r 1 m r, z λ = r 1 r m r m r!, a λ 1 X = 1 a r 1 X mr 0 z λ r 1 where 1 X H 0 X is the fundamental cohomology class of X Next, we work with the equivariant cohomology of the Hilbert scheme C 2. Let us fix an action on C 2 by the torus T = C by letting the action on the affine coordinate functions w and z of C 2 be sw, z = sw, s 1 z. It induces an action on C 2 with finitely many fixed points parametrized by partitions of n [ES]. Let HT C2 be the equivariant cohomology of C 2 with complex coefficients. Without loss of information it is convenient to work with HT 2nC2 instead of the whole equivariant cohomology group HT C2.
5 HILBERT, HURWITZ, AND GROMOV-WITTEN 5 For example, a ring product on the n-th component HT 2nC2 can be defined in terms of the equivariant cup product: 2.6 t n w 1 w 2 = w 1 w 2, w 1, w 2 H 2n T C 2 where t is the character associated to the 1-dimensional standard module of T. The algebra HT 2nC2 was shown in [Vas] to be isomorphic to the class algebra associated to the n-th symmetric group. Put H C2,T = n=0 H 2n T C 2. In the equivariant setup, the Heisenberg operators a T mα EndH C2,T with m Z and α H T C2 can also be defined geometrically [Vas]. Set p m = a T m[{0} C] p λ = a T λ[{0} C] where [{0} C] denotes the equivariant fundamental cycle or the equivariant fundamental cohomology class of the equivariant closed subscheme {0} C C 2, and a T λ [{0} C] is defined similarly as in 2.5. It is proved in [Vas] see also Proposition 2.2, [LQW2] that the operators p m, m Z, acting on the space H C 2,T satisfy the Heisenberg commutation relation: 2.7 [p m, p n ] = mδ m, n Id, and that the space H C 2,T becomes the Fock space over the Heisenberg algebra with highest weight vector 0 = 1 HT 0 X[0] = C. For λ = 1 m1 2 m2..., we have p λ = 1 p mr r 0. z λ r 1 There is a natural nondegenerate bilinear form satisfying the property: 2.8, n : H 2n T C 2 H 2n C 2 C p λ, p µ n = 1 z λ δ λ,µ, λ, µ n. This induces a natural bilinear form, on the Fock space H C2,T : u n, v n := u n, v n n n n n where u n, v n H 2n T C2. T
6 6 LI, QIN, AND WANG 2.3. Following [LQW2], we recall the N-point function G λ,µ z 1,..., z N of equivariant intersection numbers on the Hilbert schemes C 2. First of all, let 2.9 O C 2 = π O Zn be the rank-n tautological bundle over C 2, where Z n = {ξ, x C 2 C 2 x Suppξ} is the universal codimension-2 subscheme in C 2 C 2 and π is the projection from Z n to C 2. Then O C 2 is T -equivariant. Let ch k,t be the k-th component of the T -equivariant Chern character of O C 2. Put 2.10 ch k = t n k ch k,t H2n T C 2. Imitating the ordinary cohomolgy case as in [Lehn], we define the Chern character operator G z in EndH X by sending a H n to a k 0 z k ch k for each n, where z is a variable. The N-point function with variables z 1,..., z N of equivariant intersection numbers on Hilbert schemes is defined as G λ,µ z 1,..., z N := z k zk N k 1,...,k N N p λ, ch k 1 ch k 2... ch k N p µ. The N-point function can be reformulated as the expectation value of operators in the bosonic Fock space which can be conveniently identified with H C 2,T thanks to 2.7 as follows: 2.11 where G λ,µ z 1,..., z N = p λ, Hz 1... Hz N p µ Hz := 1 ςz k Z+ 1 2 e kz E k,k is an operator defined in terms of the standard basis elements E k,k in the completed infinite-rank general linear Lie algebra ĝl which acts on the bosonic Fock space H C 2,T see [MJD, LQW2, Wang], and ςz := e z/2 e z/2. The proof of 2.11 uses the Chern character operator G z in an essential way Following [OP1], we recall here the N-point function F λ,µz 1,..., z N of disconnected stationary Gromov-Witten invariants of P 1 relative to 0, P 1. Let λ, µ be partitions of n. Let M g,n P 1, λ, µ be the moduli space which parameterizes genus-g, N-pointed relative stable maps with possibly disconnected domain and with monodromy λ, µ at 0, P 1. The foundational aspects of relative Gromov-Witten theory were developed by A.M. Li-Y. Ruan [LR], J. Li
7 HILBERT, HURWITZ, AND GROMOV-WITTEN 7 [Li], E. Ionel-T. Parker [IP], etc. The relative Gromov-Witten invariant we need is defined by integration over the virtual fundamental class: P 1 N N λ, τ ki pt, µ := ψ ki i ev i pt. [M g,n P1,λ,µ] vir Here pt denotes the class in H 2 P 1 poincaré dual to a point, ev i is the evaluation morphism at the i-th marked point, ψ i is the first Chern class of the i-th cotangent line bundle L i over the moduli space. The N-point function of Gromov-Witten invariants is then defined as F λ,µz 1,..., z N := k 1,...,k N = 2 λ, P 1 N N τ ki pt, µ z ki+1 i. Here by convention τ 2 pt = 1. The Fock space formalism developed in [OP1] allows them to express the N- point function F as the expectation value of operators on the bosonic Fock space which is again identified with H C2,T as follows: 2.12 where F λ,µz 1,..., z N = p λ, E 0 z 1 E 0 z N p µ E 0 z := k Z+ 1 2 e kz E k,k + 1 ςz Id The operator Hz arises naturally from our study of Hilbert schemes while E 0 z plays a fundamental role in Okounkov-Pandharipande s approach to Gromov-Witten theory. These two operators are related to each other by 2.13 Hz = 1 ςz E 0 z 1 ςz Id In view of 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, we have a Gromov-Witten/Hilbert correspondence, that is, a very simple way of converting between the N-point function F of relative Gromov-Witten invariants on P 1 and G of equivariant intersection numbers on C Geometric representations of Heisenberg monomial classes In this section, we describe geometric representations of Heisenberg monomial classes. These geometric representations will be used in the next section. Let n = k n i be a partition of n. Fix closed submanifolds X 1,..., X k of X in general position so that any subset of the X i s meet in the expected dimension. Define W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k X to be the closed subset consisting of all ξ X which admit filtrations with ξ = ξ k... ξ 1 ξ 0 = lξ i = lξ i 1 + n i
8 8 LI, QIN, AND WANG and 3.1 for 1 i k. Let SuppI ξi 1 /I ξi = x i X i W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k 0 W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k consist of all ξ W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k such that the points x 1,..., x k in 3.1 are distinct. Lemma 3.1. Let n 1,..., n k, X 1,..., X k be as in the preceding paragraph. Denote W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k 0 and W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k by W 0 and W respectively. Let W c = W W 0. Then, dimw c < dimw 0 = 2n i 2 + dimx i. Proof. Note that the points ξ W 0 are of the form ξ = η η k with lη i = n i and Suppη i = x i X i for every i. So dimw 0 = 2n i 2 + dimx i. Next, without loss of generality, we may assume that a point ξ W c satisfies x 1 =... = x k1 def = y 1,..., x k1+...+k r 1+1 =... = x k1+...+k r def = y r where r 1, k 1 2, k 2,..., k r 1, k k r = k, and the points y 1,..., y r are distinct. Since the submanifolds X 1,..., X k are in general position, these ξ s either do not exist at all, or form a subset of dimension at most [ k1 ] k 1 2 n i 1 + dimx i 4k = < + [ 2 kr ] k r n k1+...+k r 1+i 1 + dimx k1+...+k r 1+i 4k r 1 2n i 2 + dimx i 2n i 2 + dimx i. r 2k i 1 It follows that dimw c < k 2n i 2 + dimx i = dimw 0. We conclude from Lemma 3.1 that W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k is a union of irreducible closed subsets among which the closure of W n 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k 0 is the only irreducible component having the largest dimension. The following generalizes the well-known fact that a 1n 1 X corresponding to the partition λ = 1 n is the fundamental cohomology class 1 X of X.
9 HILBERT, HURWITZ, AND GROMOV-WITTEN 9 Proposition 3.2. Let l, k 0, s i 0 1 i l, n i > 0 1 i k. 4 Let α 1,..., α k H i X be represented by the submanifolds X 1,..., X k X respectively such that X 1,..., X k are in general position. Then, the Heisenberg monomial class l k a i 1 X si a ni α i 0 s i! is represented by the closure of 3.2 W 1, X;... ; 1, X;... ; l, X;... ; l, X; n }{{}}{{} 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k 0. s 1 times s l times Proof. We use induction on l is i + k n i. When l is i + n i = 0, the conclusion is trivially true. In the following, assuming that the conclusion is true whenever l is i + k n i < n, we shall prove that it still holds when l is i + n i = n. There are two cases: s i > 0 for some i, or n i > 0 for some i. Since the proof of these two cases are similar, we only prove the first case. So let s i > 0 for some i. Without loss of generality, we may assume that i = l, i.e., s l > 0. Denote 3.2 and the Heisenberg monomial in Proposition 3.2 by Ws 0 l and A sl respectively. By the induction hypothesis, A sl 1 is represented by the closure Ws 0 l 1. By 2.2 and 2.1, a l1 X A sl 1 is represented by p 1 [Q [n,n l] X ] p 2 W 0 sl 1 where p 1, p 2 are the projections of X X [n l], and Q [n,n l] X = {ξ, η X X [n l] ξ η and SuppI η /I ξ is a point}. Since a l 1 X A sl 1 = s l A sl, we see that A sl is represented by 1 p 1 [Q [n,n l] X ] p s 2 W 0 sl l Note that the image p 1 Q [n,n l] X p 1 2 W 0 sl 1 is contained in the closed subset W 1, X;... ; 1, X;... ; l, X;... ; l, X; n }{{}}{{} 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k ; l, X s 1 times s l 1 times whose real dimension is precisely the cohomology degree of A sl, and W 0 s l = W 1, X;... ; 1, X;... ; l, X;... ; l, X; n }{{}}{{} 1, X 1 ;... ; n k, X k ; l, X 0. s 1 times s l 1 times
10 10 LI, QIN, AND WANG By Lemma 3.1, p 1 [Q [n,n l] X ] p 2 W 0 sl 1 is a multiple of W 0 s l. By 3.3, it remains to show that the multiplicity is equal to s l. Indeed, take a general element ξ W 0 s l. Then ξ = l s i ξ i,j + j=1 where lξ i,j = i, lξ i = n i, Suppξ i,j = x i,j, Suppξ i = x i, all the points x i,j, x i are distinct, x i X k if and only if i = k, and ξ i,j X k for all i, j, k. Now, p 1 1 ξ Q [n,n l] X p 1 2 W 0 sl 1 consists of exactly s l different pairs ξ, ξ ξ l,j, 1 j s l. Recall from [Na2, Lehn, LQW1] that as in the case of the projective surface X, Heisenberg operators a m 1 C 2 with m > 0 on the space def H C 2 = H C 2 n=0 can be defined similarly. The following is analogous to Proposition 3.2. Proposition 3.3. Let l 0 and s i 0 1 i l. Then, the Heisenberg monomial class l a i 1 C 2 si 0 s i! is represented by the closure of 3.4 W 1, C 2 ;... ; 1, C 2 ;... ; l, C 2 ;... ; l, C 2 0. }{{}}{{} s 1 times s l times Proof. Follows from the same argument as in the proof of Proposition 3.2. ξ i 4. Proof of Theorem 1.1 First of all, we outline our main idea used in the proof. Using the results in [LQW1], we shall convert 1.1 to a cup product in the cohomology ring H C 2 of the Hilbert scheme C 2. Then, we shall apply our results in [LQW2] where algebraic relations between the equivariant cohomology ring of C 2 and the Gromov-Witten theory of P 1 have been established. Let notations be the same as in Theorem 1.1. To convert 1.1 to a cup product in H C 2, we define the Heisenberg monomial a µ 1 C 2 H C 2 as in 2.5. By Theorem 2.12 in [LQW1], the quotient ring H X /I is isomorphic to the cohomology ring H C 2. Moreover, we see from Theorem 4.10 in [Lehn] and the proof of Theorem 2.12 in [LQW1] that via this isomorphism, the cohomology classes and a 1 n k k1 X mod I a µ 1 X mod I
11 HILBERT, HURWITZ, AND GROMOV-WITTEN 11 correspond to the classes 1 k 1 k 1! ch k 1 and a µ1 C 2 in H C 2 respectively. Here, ch k 1 stands for the k 1-th component of the Chern character of the rank-n tautological vector bundle O C 2 defined in 2.9. Hence to prove our formula 1.1 is equivalent to show that 1 k 1 k 1! ch k 1 a 4.1 µ1 C 2 = c λ k,µ a λ 1 C 2 λ n lλ=lµ+1 k where c λ k,µ coincides with the coefficient of zk 1 in k 1! z λ F ςz λ,µz. Next we rewrite the left-hand-side of 4.1 by using the equivariant cohomology ring H T C2. It is well-known that H T C2 is a C[t]-module, and there is a natural ring isomorphism Let H T C 2 /t = H C 2. Ψ : H T C 2 H T C 2 /t = H C 2 be the natural projection. Assume that the partition µ of n is given by µ = 1 s1 2 s2... l s l. Let W 0 µ C 2 be the closure of 3.4. Then, W 0 µ is a T -equivariant closed subscheme of C 2. Moreover, by Proposition 3.3, z µ r 1 s r! a µ1 C 2 is the cohomology class corresponding to W 0 µ. Similarly, z µ r 1 s r! at µ1 C 2 is the equivariant cohomology class corresponding to W 0 µ. So and 4.2 Note that in H T C2. It follows that 4.3 Hence we see from 4.2 that Ψa T µ1 C 2 = a µ 1 C 2 1 k 1 k 1! ch k 1 a µ1 C 2 = 1 k 1 k 1! Ψ ch k 1,T at µ1 C 2.

12 12 LI, QIN, AND WANG is equal to k 1 lµ k 1! Ψ t lµ ch k 1,T p µ. 4.5 Recall from Sect. 2 that {p λ λ n} is a linear basis of HT 2nC2. Put ch k 1 p µ = λ n d λ k,µ p λ where all the coefficients d λ k,µ are independent of t. So by 2.6 and 2.10, 4.6 ch k 1,T p µ = t n+k 1 ch k 1,T p µ = t k 1 ch k 1,T p µ = t k 1 λ n d λ k,µ p λ. Combining this with 4.4 and 4.3, we conclude that 1 k 1 k 1! ch k 1 a µ1 C 2 = 1 k 1 lµ k 1! Ψ t k 1 lµ d λ k,µ p λ λ n 4.7 = k 1! Ψ t k 1 lµ+lλ d λ k,µ a T λ1 C 2. λ n Since Ψa T λ 1 C 2 = a λ1 C 2 0 for each λ n, we obtain from 4.7 that 4.8 = 1 k 1 k 1! ch k 1 a µ1 C 2 k 1! d λ k,µ a λ 1 C 2. λ n lλ=lµ+1 k By 4.8, to finish the proof of 4.1, it remains to show that the structure constant d λ k,µ in 4.5 is the coefficient of zk 1 in the expansion of the series By 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, we have z i p λ, i z λ ςz F λ,µz. ch i p µ n = = 1 F ςz λ,µz 1 1 ςz F λ,µz Combining these observations with 4.5 and 2.8, we get d λ k,µ = z λ p λ, = Coeff z k 1 ch k 1 p µ n zλ ςz F λ,µz ςz F λ,µ δ λ,µ z λ ςz δ λ,µ. z λ ςz.

Therefore, the structure 5. Relation to the Hurwitz numbers of P 1 Consider a possibly disconnected cover of P 1 of degree-n with k +1 branching points. The ramifications at the branching points are specified by k + 1 partitions λ 0, λ 1,..., λ k of n. Denote by H P1 n λ 0,..., λ k the Hurwitz number of possibly disconnected covers of P 1 of degree n with k + 1 ramification points of type λ 0, λ 1,..., λ k. We have the following well-known lemma. Lemma 5.1. The Hurwitz number H P1 n λ 0,..., λ k is equal to the number of k + 1-tuples of permutations s 0,..., s k in S n satisfying the two conditions below divided by n!: i s i is of cycle type λ i for each i; ii s 0 s 1... s k = 1. The Riemann-Hurwitz formula provides the genus constraint of a Hurwitz cover: 5.1 2g 2 + 2n = n lλ i. Next, we consider the cup product i=0 a λ 11 X a λ k1 X in the cohomology ring of C 2. Denote by c λ0 λ 1,...,λ the coefficient of a k λ 01 X in a λ 11 X a λ k1 X when expressed as a linear combination of the Heisenberg monomial classes. By cohomology degree reasons, we have 5.2 n lλ 0 = n lλ i. Setting g = 1 lλ 0, we see that n, g, λ 0, λ 1,..., λ k satisfy the identity 5.1. Recall that z λ was defined in 2.4. Theorem 5.2. Let λ 0, λ 1,..., λ k be partitions of n satisfying 5.2. Then, c λ0 λ 1,...,λ = z k λ 0 HP1 n λ 0, λ 1,..., λ k. Proof. By the assumption 5.2, Theorem 1.1 in [LS] and Theorem C in [Vas], we see that c λ0 λ 1,...,λ is equal to the number of conjugacy class C k λ 0 in the multiplication of the conjugacy classes C λ 1,..., C λ k of S n, denoted by k [C λ 0] C λ i.
14 14 LI, QIN, AND WANG Since the conjugacy class C λ 0 consists of n!/z λ 0 elements, [C 1 n ]C λ 0 k C λ i = n! z λ 0 [C λ 0] k = n! c λ0 λ z 1,...,λ k. λ 0 On the other hand, we conclude from Lemma 5.1 that H P1 n λ 0, λ 1,..., λ k = 1 n! [C 1 n ]C λ 0 C λ i k C λ i. Now the theorem follows from putting the above together. References [ES] G. Ellingsrud, S.A.
