A superplethystic formula for superrestriction coefficients

arXiv:2607.14939

summary

The paper introduces a superplethystic version of Littlewood's formula to compute restriction coefficients when an irreducible supermodule of the Schur superalgebra S(m,n;d) is restricted to the subgroup S_m × S_n, and applies this to obtain unimodality results for bipartite superpartitions.

Abstract

The Schur superalgebra contains as a multiplicative subgroup. We consider the problem of determining the restriction coefficients when an irreducible supermodule of is restricted to . We introduce two notions of superplethysm and provide a superplethystic variant of Littlewood's formula for these restriction coefficients. As an application, we provide several unimodality results for bipartite superpartitions.

Comments are welcome!
