Given a partition l and a composition b, the stretched Kostka coefficient K_{l, b}(n) is the map sending each positive integer n to the Kostka coefficient indexed by nl and nb. Kirillov and Reshetikhin (1986) have shown that stretched Kostka coefficients are polynomial functions of n. King, Tollu, and Toumazet have conjectured that these polynomials always have nonnegative coefficients (2004), and they have given a conjectural expression for their degrees (2006). We prove the values conjectured by King, Tollu, and Toumazet for the degrees of stretched Kostka coefficients. Our proof depends upon the polyhedral geometry of Gelfand--Tsetlin polytopes and uses tilings of GT-patterns, a combinatorial structure introduced in De Loera & McAllister (2004).
