Plethysms, replicated Schur functions and series, with applications to vertex operators

Bertfried Fauser, Peter D Jarvis, Ronald C King

Specializations of Schur functions are exploited to define and evaluate the Schur functions s_λ[αX] and plethysms s_λ[αs_ν(X))] for any α- integer, real or complex. Plethysms are t…
