Combinatorial formula for Macdonald polynomials and generic Macdonald polynomials

We give a direct proof of the combinatorial formula for interpolation Macdonald polynomials by introducing certain polynomials, which we call generic Macdonald polynomials, and which depend on d additional parameters and specialize to all Macdonald polynomials of degree d. The form of these generic polynomials is that of a Bethe eigenfunction and they imitate, on a more elementary level, the R-matrix construction of quantum immanants.     

BC-type interpolation Macdonald polynomials and binomial formula for Koornwinder polynomials

We consider 3-parametric polynomialsP ^* (x; q, t, s) which replace theA _n-series interpolation Macdonald polynomialsP ^* (x; q, t) for theBC _n-type root system. For these polynomials we prove an integral representation, a combinatorial formula, Pieri rules, Cauchy identity, and we also show that they do not satisfy any rationalq-difference equation. Ass the polynomialsP ^* (x; q, t, s) becomeP ^* (x; q, t). We also prove a binomial formula for 6-parametric Koornwinder polynomials.     

Haglund's conjecture for multi-t Macdonald polynomials

We provide new approaches to prove identities for the modified Macdonald polynomials via their LLT expansions. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Haglund concerning the multi-t-Macdonald polynomials of two rows.     

On combinatorial formulas for Macdonald polynomials

A recent 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 a pair of statistics on fillings of Young diagrams. Ram and Yip gave a formula for the Macdonald polynomials of arbitrary type in terms of so-called alcove walks; these originate in the work of Gaussent-Littelmann and of the author with Postnikov on discrete counterparts to the Littelmann path model. In this paper, we relate the above developments, by explaining how the Ram-Yip formula compresses to a new formula, which is similar to the Haglund-Haiman-Loehr one but contains considerably fewer terms.     

An analytic formula for Macdonald polynomials

We give the explicit analytic development of any Jack or Macdonald polynomial in terms of elementary (resp. modified complete) symmetric functions. These two developments are obtained by inverting the Pieri formula. To cite this article: M. Lassalle, M. Schlosser, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 337 (2003).     

Symmetric and nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials

The symmetric Macdonald polynomials may be constructed from the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. This allows us to develop the theory of the symmetric Macdonald polynomials by first developing the theory of their nonsymmetric counterparts. In taking this approach we are able to obtain new results as well as simpler and more accessible derivations of a number of the known fundamental properties of both kinds of polynomials.Supported by an APA scholarship.     

Colorful combinatorics and Macdonald polynomials

The non-negative integer cocharge statistic on words was introduced in the 1970s by Lascoux and Schützenberger to combinatorially characterize the Hall–Littlewood polynomials. Cocharge has since been used to explain phenomena ranging from the graded decomposition of Garsia–Procesimodules to the cohomology structure of the Grassmann variety. Although its application to contemporary variations of these problems had been deemed intractable, we prove that the two-parameter, symmetric Macdonald polynomials are generating functions of a distinguished family of colored words. Cocharge adorns one parameter and the second measure its deviation from cocharge on words without color. We use the same framework to expand the plactic monoid, apply Kashiwara’s crystal theory to various Garsia–Haiman modules, and to address problems in $K$-theoretic Schubert calculus.     

A combinatorial formula for Macdonald polynomials

In this paper we use the combinatorics of alcove walks to give uniform combinatorial formulas for Macdonald polynomials for all Lie types. These formulas resemble the formulas of Haglund, Haiman and Loehr for Macdonald polynomials of type GLn. At q=0 these formulas specialize to the formula of Schwer for the Macdonald spherical function in terms of positively folded alcove walks and at q=t=0 these formulas specialize to the formula for the Weyl character in terms of the Littelmann path model (in the positively folded gallery form of Gaussent and Littelmann).     

A combinatorial formula for Macdonald polynomials

We prove a combinatorial formula for the Macdonald polynomial which had been conjectured by Haglund. Corollaries to our main theorem include the expansion of in terms of LLT polynomials, a new proof of the charge formula of Lascoux and Schützenberger for Hall-Littlewood polynomials, a new proof of Knop and Sahi's combinatorial formula for Jack polynomials as well as a lifting of their formula to integral form Macdonald polynomials, and a new combinatorial rule for the Kostka-Macdonald coefficients in the case that is a partition with parts .

     

Deformed Kazhdan-Lusztig elements and Macdonald polynomials

We introduce deformations of Kazhdan-Lusztig elements and specialised non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials, both of which form a distinguished basis of the polynomial representation of a maximal parabolic subalgebra of the Hecke algebra. We give explicit integral formula for these polynomials, and explicitly describe the transition matrices between classes of polynomials. We further develop a combinatorial interpretation of homogeneous evaluations using an expansion in terms of Schubert polynomials in the deformation parameters.     

Bases for some reciprocity algebras II

We construct bases for the stable branching algebras for the symmetric pairs (GL_n,O_n), (O_n+m,O_n×O_m) and (Sp_2n,GL_n).

Quantum zonal spherical functions and Macdonald polynomials

A unified theory of quantum symmetric pairs is applied to q-special functions. Previous work characterized certain left coideal subalgebras in the quantized enveloping algebra and established an appropriate framework for quantum zonal spherical functions. Here a distinguished family of such functions, invariant under the Weyl group associated to the restricted roots, is shown to be a family of Macdonald polynomials, as conjectured by Koornwinder and Macdonald. Our results place earlier work for Lie algebras of classical type in a general context and extend to the exceptional cases.     

Inversion of the Pieri formula for Macdonald polynomials

We give the explicit analytic development of Macdonald polynomials in terms of “modified complete” and elementary symmetric functions. These expansions are obtained by inverting the Pieri formula. Specialization yields similar developments for monomial, Jack and Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions.     

Vanishing Integrals of Macdonald and Koornwinder polynomials

When one expands a Schur function in terms of the irreducible characters of the symplectic (or orthogonal) group, the coefficient of the trivial character is 0 unless the indexing partition has an appropriate form. A number of q,t-analogues of this fact were conjectured in [10]; the present paper proves most of those conjectures, as well as some new identities suggested by the proof technique. The proof involves showing that a nonsymmetric version of the relevant integral is annihilated by a suitable ideal of the affine Hecke algebra, and that any such annihilated functional satisfies the desired vanishing property. This does not, however, give rise to vanishing identities for the standard nonsymmetric Macdonald and Koornwinder polynomials; we discuss the required modification to these polynomials to support such results.     

Standard bases for affine parabolic modules and nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials

We establish a connection between (degenerate) nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials and standard bases and dual standard bases of maximal parabolic modules of affine Hecke algebras. Along the way we prove a (weak) polynomiality result for coefficients of symmetric and nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials.     

Nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials and matrix coefficients for unramified principal series

We show how a certain limit of the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials appears in the representation theory of semisimple groups over p-adic fields as matrix coefficients for the unramified principal series representations. The result is the nonsymmetric counterpart of a classical result relating the same limit of the symmetric Macdonald polynomials to zonal spherical functions on groups of p-adic type.
