Planar decompositions of tableaux and Schur function determinants

چکیده
In this paper we describe planar decompositions of skew shape tableaux into strips and use the shapes of these strips to generate a determinant. We then prove that each of these determinants is equal to the Schur function for the skew shape. The Jacobi-Trudi identity, the dual Jacobi-Trudi identity, the Giambelli identity and the rim ribbon identity of Laseoux and Pragacz are all special cases of this theorem. A compact GesseI-Viennot lattice path argument provides the prooL

Pfaffians and Determinants for Schur Q-Functions
Schur Q-functions were originally introduced by Schur in relation to projective representations of the symmetric group and they can be defined combinatorially in terms of shifted tableaux. In this paper we describe planar decompositions of shifted tableaux into strips and use the shapes of these strips to generate pfaffi.ans and determinants that are equal to Schur Q-functions. As special cases...
متن کاملDeterminantal Forms for Symplectic and Orthogonal Schur Functions
Symplectic and orthogonal Schur functions can be defined combinatorially in a manner similar to the classical Schur functions. This paper demonstrates that they can also be expressed as determinants. These determinants are generated using planar decompositions of tableaux into strips and the equivalence of these determinants to symplectic or orthogonal Schur functions is established by Gessel-V...
متن کاملFlagged Schur Functions, Schubert Polynomials, and Symmetrizing Operators
Flagged Schur functions are generalizations of Schur functions. They appear in the work of Lascoux and Schutzenberger [2] in their study of Schubert polynomials. Gessel [ 1 ] has shown that flagged Schur functions can be expressed both as a determinant in the complete homogeneous symmetric functions and in terms of column-strict tableaux just as can ordinary Schur functions (Jacobi-Trudi identi...
متن کاملTransformations of Border Strips and Schur Function Determinants
We introduce the notion of the cutting strip of an outside decomposition of a skew shape, and show that cutting strips are in one-to-one correspondence with outside decompositions for a given skew shape. Outside decompositions are introduced by Hamel and Goulden and are used to give an identity for the skew Schur function that unifies the determinantal expressions for the skew Schur functions i...
متن کاملInvariant theory for singular α-determinants
From the irreducible decompositions’ point of view, the structure of the cyclic GLn(C)-module generated by the α-determinant degenerates when α = ± 1 k (1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1) (see [6]). In this paper, we show that − 1 k -determinant shares similar properties which the ordinary determinant possesses. From this fact, one can define a new (relative) invariant called a wreath determinant. Using (GLm, GLn)...
