Products of symmetric group characters

Abstract In [33] , the authors introduced a new basis of the ring of symmetric functions which evaluate to the irreducible characters of the symmetric group at roots of unity. The structure coefficients for this new basis are the stable Kronecker coefficients. In this paper we give combinatorial descriptions for several products. In addition, we identify some applications and instances where special cases of these products have occurred elsewhere in the mathematical literature.
