Expansion Of K-Schur Functions For Maximal Rectangles Within The Affine Nilcoxeter Algebra

We give several explicit combinatorial formulas for the expansion of k-Schur functions indexed by maximal rectangles in terms of the standard basis of the affine nilCoxeter algebra. Using our result, we also show a commutation relation of k-Schur functions corresponding to rectangles with the generators of the affine nilCoxeter algebra.
