Abstract

Using the theory of Kostka polynomials, we prove an An-1 version of Bailey's lemma at integral level. Exploiting a new, conjectural expansion for Kostka numbers, this is then generalized to fractional levels, leading to a new expression for admissible characters of An-1(1) and to identities for A-type branching functions.
