Multiplicity-free skew Schur functions with full interval support

Abstract

It is known that the Schur expansion of a skew Schur function runs over the interval of partitions, equipped with dominance order, defined by the least and the most dominant Littlewood-Richardson filling of the skew shape. We characterise skew Schur functions (and therefore the product of two Schur functions) which are multiplicity-free and the resulting Schur expansion runs over the whole interval of partitions, i.e., skew Schur functions having Littlewood-Richardson coefficients always equal to 1 over the full interval.
