On the Combinatorics of LLT Polynomials in Sp2n

Abstract. LLT polynomials were originally defined as q-generating functions for tuples of semistandard tableaux and later generalized to arbitrary Lie type. We introduce a combinatorial definition at q=1 for LLT polynomials of type C as a similar generating function over tuples of symplectic tableaux. The definition uses a correspondence between symplectic tableaux and oscillating tableaux that is used to give a proof of a Cauchy identity for Sp2n using Berele insertion, generalizing the combinatorial proof of Schur-Weyl duality for Sp2n.
