Hankel Pfaffians, discriminants and Kazhdan-Lusztig bases

Alain Lascoux

Universit\'e de Paris-Est

Abstract

We use Kazhdan-Lusztig bases of representations of the symmetric group to express Pfaffians with entries $(a_i-a_j) h_{i+j}$. In the case where the parameters $a_i$ are specialized to successive powers of $q$, and the $h_i$ are complete functions, we obtain the $q$-discriminant.

Keywords: Pfaffians, discriminants, Kazhdan-Lusztig bases
