# Quotient of symmetric function space by ideal generated by Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions¶

The quotient of symmetric functions by the ideal generated by the Hall-Littlewood P symmetric functions indexed by partitions with first part greater than $$k$$. When $$t=1$$ this space is the quotient of the symmetric functions by the ideal generated by the monomial symmetric functions indexed by partitions with first part greater than $$k$$.

class sage.combinat.sf.k_dual.AffineSchurFunctions(kBoundedRing)

This basis is dual to the $$k$$-Schur functions at $$t=1$$. This realization follows the monomial expansion given by Lam [Lam2006].

class sage.combinat.sf.k_dual.DualkSchurFunctions(kBoundedRing)

This basis is dual to the $$k$$-Schur functions. The expansion is given in Section 4.12 of [LLMSSZ]. When $$t=1$$ this basis is equal to the AffineSchurFunctions and that basis is more efficient in this case.

retract(la)

Gives the retract map from the symmetric functions to the quotient ring of $$k$$-bounded symmetric functions. This method is here to make the TestSuite run properly.

INPUT:

• la – A partition

OUTPUT:

• The monomial element of the $$k$$-bounded quotient indexed by la.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Q = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).kBoundedQuotient(3,t=1)
sage: Q.retract([2,1])
m3[2, 1]

KBoundedQuotientBases.super_categories()

The super categories of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Sym = SymmetricFunctions(QQ['t'])
sage: from sage.combinat.sf.k_dual import KBoundedQuotientBases
sage: Q = Sym.kBoundedQuotient(3,t=1)
sage: KQB = KBoundedQuotientBases(Q)
sage: KQB.super_categories()
[Category of realizations of 3-Bounded Quotient of Symmetric Functions over Univariate Polynomial Ring in t over Rational Field with t=1, Join of Category of graded hopf algebras with basis over Univariate Polynomial Ring in t over Rational Field and Category of subquotients of monoids and Category of quotients of semigroups]

class sage.combinat.sf.k_dual.KBoundedQuotientBasis(kBoundedRing, prefix)

Abstract base class for the bases of the $$k$$-bounded quotient.

class sage.combinat.sf.k_dual.kMonomial(kBoundedRing)

The basis of monomial symmetric functions indexed by partitions with first part less than or equal to $$k$$.

lift(la)

Implements the lift function on the monomial basis. Given a $$k$$-bounded partition la, the lift will return the corresponding monomial basis element.

INPUT:

m[3, 1]
sage: km.lift([])
m[]
sage: km.lift(Partition([4,1]))
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: do not know how to make x (= [4, 1]) an element of self (=3-Bounded Quotient of Symmetric Functions over Rational Field with t=1 in the 3-bounded monomial basis)

retract(la)

Implements the retract function on the monomial basis. Given a partition la, the retract will return the corresponding $$k$$-bounded monomial basis element if la is $$k$$-bounded; zero otherwise.

INPUT:

• la – A partition

OUTPUT:

• A $$k$$-bounded monomial symmetric function in the $$k$$-quotient of symmetric

functions.
