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}...

Action of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2}$ on symmetric functions with $\mathbb{Z}_{(2)}$ coefficients

It is known that there is a representation of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_q}$ (over $\mathbb{Z}$) on the algebra of symmetric functions, where the action of the Chevalley generators ...
