If this conjecture is correct then there exist statistics a T and such that the family of symmetric functions Hp X q t MA K q t sx X are generating functions for the standard tableaux of size ụ in the sense that HM X q t MrQ M r t M r SA r X where the sum is over standard tableau of of size p . We give a formula for a symmetric function operator H with the property that HqiH 2a1b X q t H 2a i1b X q t . This operator has a combinatorial action on the Schur function basis. We use this Schur function action to show by induction that H 2a 1b X q t is the generating function for standard tableaux of size 2a b and hence that KA 2a1b q t is a polynomial with non-negative integer coefficients . The inductive proof gives an algorithm for building the standard tableaux of size n 2 from the standard tableaux of size n and divides the standard tableaux into classes that are generalizations of the catabolism type. We show that reversing this construction gives the statistics a T and when p is of the form 2a 1b and that these statistics prove conjectures about the relationship between adjacent rows of the q t -Kostka matrix that were suggested by Lynne Butler. 1 THE ELECTRONIC .JOURNAL OF COmBINATORICS 5 1998 R45 2 1 Introduction The Macdonald basis for the symmetric functions generalizes many other bases by specializing the values of t and q.
