Topic: 

Skew Schur Functions of Sums of Fat Staircases

Description: 

We introduce the notion of a fat staircase and define when a skew diagram D is a sum of fat staircases. We give a collection of Schur-positivity results that may be obtained from each sum of fat staircases. Further, we determine conditions on when a diagram may be a sums of fat staircases.
