This we use to construct the cover partition C for the ordinary outer product as well as for the Schubert product of two characters and for some skew characters here the cover partition is the union of all partitions whose corresponding character appears in the product or in the skew character. This gives us also the Durfee size for arbitrary Schubert products. Key words Base Partitions skew characters symmetric group skew Schur functions Schubert Calculus 1 Introduction In this paper we give upper and lower bounds for partitions a such that the corresponding character a can appear in a given outer product or Schubert product of two characters or in a skew character. We give in Remark an easy combinatorial description for the base partition B of a skew character A which is the intersection of all partitions a whose corresponding character a appears in A . Using Gut1 Theorem and the base partition we construct the cover partition C for the ordinary outer product as well as for the Schubert product of two characters and for some skew characters. Here the cover partition is the union of all partitions whose corresponding character appears in the product or in the skew character.
