Expressions for Catalan Kronecker Products

Abstract

We give some elementary manifestly positive formulae for the Kronecker products s_(d,d) * s_(d+k,d-k) and s_(d,d) * s_(2d-k,1^k). These formulae demonstrate some fundamental properties of the Kronecker coefficients, and we use them to deduce a number of enumerative and combinatorial results.
