Symmetric functions and the explicit moment problem for abelian groups

arXiv:2402.16625

Abstract

Recently, Sawin and Wood (arXiv:math/2210.06279) proved a formula for the distribution of a random abelian group in terms of its -moments . We show that properties of Macdonald polynomials yield an alternate proof.
