A Bijective Proof Of A Factorization Formula For Specialized Macdonald Polynomials, Nicholas A. Loehr, Elizabeth Niese

Elizabeth Niese

Let μ and ν = (ν 1, . . . , ν k ) be partitions such that μ is obtained from ν by adding m parts of sizer. Descouens and Morita proved algebraically that the modified Macdonald polynomials H~μ(X;q,t) satisfy the identity H~μ=H~νH~(rm) when the parameter t is specialize to an mth root of unity. Descouens, Morita, and Numata proved this formula bijectively when r ≤ ν k and r∈{1,2}. This note gives a bijective proof of the formula for all r ≤ ν k .
