Skew Schur function

asked 2 years ago

Anupamsage gravatar image

I have worked with the Schur function using the following command for example

sage: Sym = SymmetricFunctions(QQ)
sage: P = Sym.p()  # to expand symmetric functions in power symmetric basis
sage: s = Sym.schur()
sage: P(s([2,2]))
1/12*p[1, 1, 1, 1] + 1/4*p[2, 2] + (-1/3)*p[3, 1]

Recently I need to work with the skew Schur function. I want to expand the shifted schur function sλ(x1+y,x2+y,,xn+y)

I am guessing that it can be the following identity sλ(x1+y,x2+y,,xn+y)=μsλmu(y)sμ(x1,x2,,xn)
For y=1 my idenity can be proven as I am sure there is an expression. The expression sλmu(y) is skew Schur function. I am wondering if there are packages in sagemath where I can work with skew schur function and verify my identity is correct or not.

Skew Schur functions are available:

            sage: sp = SkewPartition([[5,3,3,1], [3,2,1]])
            sage: s = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).s()
            sage: s.skew_schur(sp)
