Expressions for Catalan Kronecker products

Andrew A. H. Brown, Stephanie van Willigenburg and Mike Zabrocki

Vol. 248 (2010), No. 1, 31–48
Abstract

We give some elementary manifestly positive formulas for the Kronecker products s(d,d) s(d+k,dk). These formulas demonstrate some fundamental properties of the Kronecker coefficients, and we use them to deduce a number of enumerative and combinatorial results.

Keywords
Catalan number, Kronecker coefficient, Kronecker product, Schur function, symmetric function
