Quasisymmetric expansion of Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions (2406.01166v1)
Published 3 Jun 2024 in math.CO
Abstract: In our previous works we introduced a $q$-deformation of the generating functions for enriched $P$-partitions. We call the evaluation of this generating functions on labelled chains, the $q$-fundamental quasisymmetric functions. These functions interpolate between Gessel's fundamental ($q=0$) and Stembridge's peak ($q=1$) functions, the natural quasisymmetric expansions of Schur and Schur's $Q$-symmetric functions. In this paper, we show that our $q$-fundamental functions provide a quasisymmetric expansion of Hall-Littlewood $S$-symmetric functions with parameter $t=-q$.
