I. Molev School of Mathematics and Statistics University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia alexm@. au Submitted Aug 27 2008 Accepted Jan 17 2009 Published Jan 23 2009 Mathematics Subject Classifications 05E05 Abstract The double Schur functions form a distinguished basis of the ring A x a which is a multiparameter generalization of the ring of symmetric functions A x . The canonical comultiplication on A x is extended to A x 1 a in a natural way so that the double power sums symmetric functions are primitive elements. We calculate the dual Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in two different ways thus providing comultiplication rules for the double Schur functions. We also prove multiparameter analogues of the Cauchy identity. A new family of Schur type functions plays the role of a dual object in the identities. We describe some properties of these dual Schur functions including a combinatorial presentation and an expansion formula in terms of the ordinary Schur functions. The dual Littlewood-Richardson coefficients provide a multiplication rule for the dual Schur functions.
