class sage.combinat.chas.fsym.FreeSymmetricFunctions(base_ring)

The free symmetric functions.

The free symmetric functions is a combinatorial Hopf algebra defined using tableaux and denoted $$FSym$$.

Consider the Hopf algebra $$FQSym$$ (FreeQuasisymmetricFunctions) over a commutative ring $$R$$, and its bases $$(F_w)$$ and $$(G_w)$$ (where $$w$$, in both cases, ranges over all permutations in all symmetric groups $$S_0, S_1, S_2, \ldots$$). For each word $$w$$, let $$P(w)$$ be the P-tableau of $$w$$ (that is, the first of the two tableaux obtained by applying the RSK algorithm to $$w$$; see RSK()). If $$t$$ is a standard tableau of size $$n$$, then we define $$\mathcal{G}_t \in FQSym$$ to be the sum of the $$F_w$$ with $$w$$ ranging over all permutations of $$\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$$ satisfying $$P(w) = t$$. Equivalently, $$\mathcal{G}_t$$ is the sum of the $$G_w$$ with $$w$$ ranging over all permutations of $$\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$$ satisfying $$Q(w) = t$$ (where $$Q(w)$$ denotes the Q-tableau of $$w$$).

The $$R$$-linear span of the $$\mathcal{G}_t$$ (for $$t$$ ranging over all standard tableaux) is a Hopf subalgebra of $$FQSym$$, denoted by $$FSym$$ and known as the free symmetric functions or the Poirier-Reutenauer Hopf algebra of tableaux. It has been introduced in [PoiReu95], where it was denoted by $$(\ZZ T, \ast, \delta)$$. (What we call $$\mathcal{G}_t$$ has just been called $$t$$ in [PoiReu95].) The family $$(\mathcal{G}_t)$$ (with $$t$$ ranging over all standard tableaux) is a basis of $$FSym$$, called the Fundamental basis.

EXAMPLES:

As explained above, $$FSym$$ is constructed as a Hopf subalgebra of $$FQSym$$:

sage: G = algebras.FSym(QQ).G()
sage: F = algebras.FQSym(QQ).F()
sage: G[[1,3],[2]]
G[13|2]
sage: G[[1,3],[2]].to_fqsym()
G[2, 1, 3] + G[3, 1, 2]
sage: F(G[[1,3],[2]])
F[2, 1, 3] + F[2, 3, 1]


This embedding is a Hopf algebra morphism:

sage: all(F(G[t1] * G[t2]) == F(G[t1]) * F(G[t2])
....:     for t1 in StandardTableaux(2)
....:     for t2 in StandardTableaux(3))
True

sage: FF = F.tensor_square()
sage: all(FF(G[t].coproduct()) == F(G[t]).coproduct()
....:     for t in StandardTableaux(4))
True


There is a Hopf algebra map from $$FSym$$ onto the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions, which maps a tableau $$t$$ to the Schur function indexed by the shape of $$t$$:

sage: TG = algebras.FSym(QQ).G()
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,3],[2,4],[5]])
sage: TG[t]
G[13|24|5]
sage: TG[t].to_symmetric_function()
s[2, 2, 1]


The Hopf algebra of tableaux on the Fundamental basis.

EXAMPLES:

sage: FSym = algebras.FSym(QQ)
sage: TG = FSym.G()
sage: TG

in the Fundamental basis


Elements of the algebra look like:

sage: TG.an_element()
2*G[] + 2*G[1] + 3*G[12]

class Element
to_fqsym()

Return the image of self under the natural inclusion map to $$FQSym$$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: FSym = algebras.FSym(QQ)
sage: G = FSym.G()
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,3],[2,4],[5]])
sage: G[t].to_fqsym()
G[2, 1, 5, 4, 3] + G[3, 1, 5, 4, 2] + G[3, 2, 5, 4, 1]
+ G[4, 1, 5, 3, 2] + G[4, 2, 5, 3, 1]

to_symmetric_function()

Return the image of self under the natural projection map to $$Sym$$.

The natural projection map $$FSym \to Sym$$ sends each standard tableau $$t$$ to the Schur function $$s_\lambda$$, where $$\lambda$$ is the shape of $$t$$. This map is a surjective Hopf algebra homomorphism.

EXAMPLES:

sage: FSym = algebras.FSym(QQ)
sage: G = FSym.G()
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,3],[2,4],[5]])
sage: G[t].to_symmetric_function()
s[2, 2, 1]

EXAMPLES:

sage: FSym = algebras.FSym(QQ)
sage: G = FSym.G()
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,2,5], [3,4]])

G[] # G[125|34] + G[1] # G[12|34] + G[1] # G[124|3]
+ G[1|2] # G[13|2] + G[12] # G[12|3] + G[12] # G[123]
+ G[12|34] # G[1] + G[123] # G[12] + G[125|34] # G[]
+ G[13|2] # G[1|2] + G[13|2] # G[12] + G[134|2] # G[1]

sage: G.product_on_basis(t1, t2)
G[12456|3] + G[1256|3|4] + G[1256|34] + G[126|35|4]

sage: t1 = StandardTableau([[1],[2]])
sage: t2 = StandardTableau([[1,2]])
sage: G.product_on_basis(t1, t2)

sage: t1 = StandardTableau([[1,2],[3]])
sage: t2 = StandardTableau([[1],[2]])

in the Fundamental basis

Return the dual Hopf algebra of $$FSym$$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: algebras.FSym(QQ).dual()
Dual Hopf algebra of standard tableaux over the Rational Field

class sage.combinat.chas.fsym.FreeSymmetricFunctions_Dual(base_ring)

The Hopf dual $$FSym^*$$ of the free symmetric functions $$FSym$$.

See FreeSymmetricFunctions for the definition of the latter.

Recall that the fundamental basis of $$FSym$$ consists of the elements $$\mathcal{G}_t$$ for $$t$$ ranging over all standard tableaux. The dual basis of this is called the dual fundamental basis of $$FSym^*$$, and is denoted by $$(\mathcal{G}_t^*)$$. The Hopf dual $$FSym^*$$ is isomorphic to the Hopf algebra $$(\ZZ T, \ast', \delta')$$ from [PoiReu95]; the isomorphism sends a basis element $$\mathcal{G}_t^*$$ to $$t$$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: FSym = algebras.FSym(QQ)
sage: TF = FSym.dual().F()
sage: TF[1,2] * TF[[1],[2]]
F[12|3|4] + F[123|4] + F[124|3] + F[13|2|4] + F[134|2] + F[14|2|3]
sage: TF[[1,2],[3]].coproduct()
F[] # F[12|3] + F[1] # F[1|2] + F[12] # F[1] + F[12|3] # F[]


The Hopf algebra $$FSym^*$$ is a Hopf quotient of $$FQSym$$; the canonical projection sends $$F_w$$ (for a permutation $$w$$) to $$\mathcal{G}_{Q(w)}^*$$, where $$Q(w)$$ is the Q-tableau of $$w$$. This projection is implemented as a coercion:

sage: FQSym = algebras.FQSym(QQ)
sage: F = FQSym.F()
sage: TF(F[[1, 3, 2]])
F[12|3]
sage: TF(F[[5, 1, 4, 2, 3]])
F[135|2|4]

F

EXAMPLES:

sage: FSym = algebras.FSym(QQ)
sage: TF = FSym.dual().F()
sage: TF
Dual Hopf algebra of standard tableaux over the Rational Field
in the FundamentalDual basis

class Element
to_quasisymmetric_function()

Return the image of self under the canonical projection $$FSym^* \to QSym$$ to the ring of quasi-symmetric functions.

This projection is the adjoint of the canonical injection $$NSym \to FSym$$ (see to_fsym()). It sends each tableau $$t$$ to the fundamental quasi-symmetric function $$F_\alpha$$, where $$\alpha$$ is the descent composition of $$t$$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: F = algebras.FSym(QQ).dual().F()
sage: F[[1,3,5],[2,4]].to_quasisymmetric_function()
F[1, 2, 2]

+ F[12|3] # F[12] + F[12|34] # F[1] + F[125|34] # F[]

F[12|34] + F[123|4] + F[1234] + F[124|3] + F[13|24] + F[134|2]
sage: t0 = StandardTableau([])
sage: TF.product_on_basis(t1, t0) == TF[t1] == TF.product_on_basis(t0, t1)

sage.combinat.chas.fsym.ascent_set(t)

Return the ascent set of a standard tableau t (encoded as a sorted list).

The ascent set of a standard tableau $$t$$ is defined as the set of all entries $$i$$ of $$t$$ such that the number $$i+1$$ either appears to the right of $$i$$ or appears in a row above $$i$$ or does not appear in $$t$$ at all.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.chas.fsym import ascent_set
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,3,4,7],[2,5,6],[8]])
sage: ascent_set(t)
[2, 3, 5, 6, 8]
sage: ascent_set(StandardTableau([]))
[]
sage: ascent_set(StandardTableau([[1, 2, 3]]))
[1, 2, 3]
sage: ascent_set(StandardTableau([[1, 2, 4], [3]]))
[1, 3, 4]
sage: ascent_set([[1, 3, 5], [2, 4]])
[2, 4, 5]

sage.combinat.chas.fsym.descent_composition(t)

Return the descent composition of a standard tableau t.

This is the composition of the size of $$t$$ whose partial sums are the elements of the descent set of t (see descent_set()).

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.chas.fsym import descent_composition
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,3,4,7],[2,5,6],[8]])
sage: descent_composition(t)
[1, 3, 3, 1]

[1, 2, 2]

sage.combinat.chas.fsym.descent_set(t)

Return the descent set of a standard tableau t (encoded as a sorted list).

The descent set of a standard tableau $$t$$ is defined as the set of all entries $$i$$ of $$t$$ such that the number $$i+1$$ appears in a row below $$i$$ in $$t$$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.chas.fsym import descent_set
sage: t = StandardTableau([[1,3,4,7],[2,5,6],[8]])
sage: descent_set(t)
[1, 4, 7]
sage: descent_set(StandardTableau([]))
[]
sage: descent_set(StandardTableau([[1, 2, 3]]))
[]
sage: descent_set(StandardTableau([[1, 2, 4], [3]]))

[1, 3]

sage.combinat.chas.fsym.standardize(t)

Return the standard tableau corresponding to a given semistandard tableau t with no repeated entries.

Note

This is an optimized version of Tableau.standardization() for computations in $$FSym$$ by using the assumption of no repeated entries in t.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.chas.fsym import standardize
sage: t = Tableau([[1,3,5,7],[2,4,8],[9]])
sage: standardize(t)
[[1, 3, 5, 6], [2, 4, 7], [8]]
