Plethysms are then used to define pairs of mutually inverse infinite series of Schur functions, M_\\pi and L_\\pi, specified by arbitrary partitions \\pi. These are used in turn to define and provide generating functions for formal characters, s_\\lambda^{(\\pi)}, of certain groups H_\\pi, thereby extending known results for orthogonal and symplectic group characters. Each of these formal characters is then given a vertex operator realization, first in terms of the series M=M_{(0)} and various L_\\sigma^\\perp dual to L_\\sigma, and then more explicitly in exponential form. Finally the replicated form of such vertex operators are written down.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-06-22T11:34:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05", "17B69", "11E57", "16W30", "20E22", "33D52" ], "keywords": [ "replicated schur functions", "formal characters", "applications", "vertex operator realization", "mutually inverse infinite series" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2010, "month": "Oct", "volume": 43, "number": 40, "pages": 405202 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 36, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010JPhA...43N5202F" } } }
