The Schur functions form a basis for the vector space of symmetric functions. Recent results by Dr. Haglund permit the introduction of a new object which is used to decompose the Schur functions into "Non-symmetric Schur functions". We will define these objects, prove that they are a decomposition of the Schur functions, and present several properties of these objects.
