Abstract
Kronecker and plethysm coefficients are two fundamental families of nonnegative integers in combinatorial representation theory. Their study combines combinatorics, geometry, and representation theory, and understanding either family remains a major open problem in algebraic combinatorics. Both families arise in the representation theory of the Uniform Block Permutation (UBP) algebra. In this talk, I will show how computing restrictions and inductions of UBP representations can lead to combinatorial interpretations for certain special cases of plethysm coefficients.
