Discovering product and coproduct rules for bases of QSym_F through supercharacters

초록

In this paper, we establish product and coproduct rules for three bases of the Hopf algebra QSym_F of quasisymmetric functions over F, with F being either C(q, t) or C(q). These results are derived through the categorizations of QSym_C obtained by utilizing the normal lattice supercharacter theories. Firstly, we deal with a basis {D_α(q, t) | α ∈ Comp} of QSym_C(q,t), where Comp denotes the set of all compositions. This basis is obtained from the direct sum of specific supercharacter function spaces and consists of superclass identifier functions. Upon appropriate specializations of q and t, it yields notable bases of QSym_C and QSym_C(q), including enriched q-monomial quasisymmetric functions introduced by Grinberg and Vassilieva. Secondly, we deal with the basis {G_α(q) | α ∈ Comp} of QSym_C(q), where G_α(q) represents the quasisymmetric Hall–Littlewood function introduced by Hivert. Our product rule is new, whereas our coproduct rule turns out to be equivalent to the existing coproduct rule of Hivert. Finally, we consider a basis {M_α(q) | α ∈ Comp} of QSym_C(q), where M_α(q) is a q-analogue of the monomial quasisymmetric function. Key words: quasisymmetric function, Hopf algebra, Hall–Littlewood function, shuffle, supercharacter, categorification
