Composition of transpositions and equality of ribbon Schur \(Q\)-functions
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 16 (2009) no. 1
We introduce a new operation on skew diagrams called composition of transpositions, and use it and a Jacobi-Trudi style formula to derive equalities on skew Schur $Q$-functions whose indexing shifted skew diagram is an ordinary skew diagram. When this skew diagram is a ribbon, we conjecture necessary and sufficient conditions for equality of ribbon Schur $Q$-functions. Moreover, we determine all relations between ribbon Schur $Q$-functions; show they supply a ${\Bbb Z}$-basis for skew Schur $Q$-functions; assert their irreducibility; and show that the non-commutative analogue of ribbon Schur $Q$-functions is the flag $h$-vector of Eulerian posets.
