The Heisenberg product seen as a branching problem for connected reductive groups, stability properties

Abstract

Abstract In this article, we study, in the context of complex representations of symmetric groups, some aspects of the Heisenberg product, introduced by Marcelo Aguiar, Walter Ferrer Santos and Walter Moreira in 2017. When applied to irreducible representations, this product gives rise to the Aguiar coefficients. We prove that these coefficients are in fact also branching coefficients for representations of connected complex reductive groups. This allows to use geometric methods already developed in a previous article, notably based on notions from geometric invariant theory, and to obtain some stability results on Aguiar coefficients, generalising some of the results concerning them given by Li Ying.
