A Littlewood-Richardson rule for the MacDonald inner product and bimodules over wreath products


Abstract in English

We prove a Littlewood-Richardson type formula for $(s_{lambda/mu},s_{ u/kappa})_{t^k,t}$, the pairing of two skew Schur functions in the MacDonald inner product at $q = t^k$ for positive integers $k$. This pairing counts graded decomposition numbers in the representation theory of wreath products of the algebra $C[x]/x^k$ and symmetric groups.
