We introduce and study a class of symmetric functions that depend on a parameter q, which includes symmetric functions that have already appeared in the literature in connection with Jack symmetric functions, parking functions, and lattices of noncrossing partitions. Our results generalize previous

โฆ Synopsis
Let Fc denote the basic quasi-symmetric functions, in Gessel's notation (1984) (C any composition). The plethysm sz oFc is a positive linear combination of functions Fo. Under certain conditions, the image under the involution ~o of a quasi-symmetric function defined by equalities and inequalities of the variables is obtained by negating the inequalities. (~)

We define a new action of the symmetric group and its Hecke algebra on polynomial rings whose invariants are exactly the quasi-symmetric polynomials. We interpret this construction in terms of a Demazure character formula for the irreducible polynomial modules of a degenerate quantum group. We use t
Let Z denote the Leibniz-Hopf algebra, which also turns up as the Solomon descent algebra and the algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions. As an algebra Z=ZOZ 1 , Z 2 , ...P, the free associative algebra over the integers in countably many indeterminates. The coalgebra structure is given by m(
The ring QSym of quasi-symmetric functions is naturally the dual of the Solomon descent algebra. The product and the two coproducts of the first (extending those of the symmetric functions) correspond to a coproduct and two products of the second, which are defined by restriction from the symmetric
