Is there an analogue of the hive model for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients of types $B$, $C$ and $D$?
If $V_\lambda$, $V_\mu$ and $V_\nu$ are irreducible representations of $\operatorname{GL}_n$, the Littlewood-Richardson coefficient $c_{\lambda\mu}^\nu$ denotes the multiplicity of $V_\nu$ in the ...

Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in terms of Specht modules
Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c_{\nu\mu}^{\lambda}$ (where $\nu$,$\mu$ and $\lambda$ are integer partitions such that $|\nu| + |\mu| = |\lambda|$) are well-known coefficients appearing in ...

Hives for other root systems? [duplicate]
Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^\lambda_{\mu\nu}$ have numerous combinatorial interpretations, including the hive model by Knutson and Tao, see here. For other root systems, there are also ...

When the Littlewood-Richardson rule gives only irreducibles?
Given the famous Littlewood-Richardson rule, in terms of Schur polynomials:
$$s_\mu s_\nu=\sum_\lambda c^{\lambda}_{\mu\nu} s_\lambda,$$
is there a classification of the cases where the LR ...

Why are these Littlewood-Richardson coefficients congruent to 1 mod 8?
Let $n\in{\mathbb N}$ and write $n=q_1+q_2+\dots+q_t$, where $q_1>q_2>\dots>q_t$ are powers of $2$. Let $\lambda_n$ be the partition with Frobenius symbol $(q_1-1,q_2-1,\dots,q_t-1;q_t,q_{t-1}...

Decomposition of a tensor product of representations of $\mathrm{GL}_l(\mathbb{C})$ and decomposition of Littlewood-Richardson numbers?
For a positive integer $m$, denote $T(m)=\{(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m)\in \mathbb{Z}^m:\lambda_1\ge \lambda_2\ge\dots \ge\lambda_m\}$ and $T^+(m)=\{ (\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m)\in \mathbb{Z}^m:\...

Is this simple symmetry of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients known?
Let $\lambda$ be a partition with at most $p$ parts, let $\mu$ be a partition with at most $q$ parts, and let $\nu$ be a partition with at most $p+q$ parts. Let $m\geq \nu_1$ be an integer. We denote ...

Any conjectures about Jack Littlewood-Richardson coefficients when Schur LR > 1?
Stanley famously conjectured ("Some combinatorial properties of Jack symmetric functions" Adv. in Math. (77) 1989, doi:10.1016/0001-8708(89)90015-7, MR1014073, Zbl 0743.05072) that the Jack ...

Filtrations of the irreducible representations of the symmetric groups
For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$, write $S^{\lambda}$ for the irreducible $S_n$-representation that corresponds to $\lambda$ (a.k.a. the Specht module).
For two integers $d<n$ write $Par_d(n) = \{\...

Factorization of Littlewood-Richardson Coefficients
For partitions $\mu \subset \lambda$, let $\kappa \subseteq \mu$ be a partition such that the shape $\lambda/\kappa$ contains at least two non-empty components $\lambda_i, i=1,2$, and similarly let $\...

"Sufficiently fat" Schur polynomial times Schubert polynomial is Schubert-positive
It's still open to find a combinatorial proof that for integers $k>0$ and $m>0$, a permutation $u\in S_\infty$ with its final descent at position $m$, and a partition $\lambda$ that

Conjectural congruences for numbers related to Littlewood-Richardson coefficients
For $n \geq 0$, let $a_n$ be the square of the Euclidean length of the vector of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients of $\sum_{\lambda \vdash n} s_\lambda^2$, where $s_\lambda$ are the symmetric Schur ...

What's the rule to differentiate elements of Schur modules?

Necessary and/or sufficient conditions for LR coefficients of Schubert polynomials to be zero
There is a simple condition for determining whether LR coefficients for Schur polynomials are $0$, without invoking the Littlewood-Richardson rule. Is there anything similar, possibly weaker, for ...
