Matching polytopes and Specht modules
We prove that the dimension of the Specht module of a forest $G$ is the same as the normalized volume of the matching polytope of $G$. We also associate to $G$ a symmetric function $s_G$ (analogous to the Schur symmetric function $s_\lambda$ for a partition $\lambda$) and investigate its combinatorial …
