Various Representations of the Generalized Kostka Polynomials

Abstract. The generalized Kostka polynomials Kl,R(q) are labeled by a partition l and a sequence of rectangles R. They are q-analogues of multiplicities of the finite-dimensional irreducible representation W(l) of gl(n) with highest weight l in the tensor product of the W(R(i))'s. We review several representations of the generalized Kostka polynomials, such as the charge, path space, quasi-particle and bosonic representation. In addition we describe a bijection between Littlewood-Richardson tableaux and rigged configurations, and sketch a proof that it preserves the appropriate statistics. This proves in particular the equality of the quasi-particle and charge representation of the generalized Kostka polynomials.
