Super-immanants and Littlewood correspondences

Naihuan Jing, Yinlong Liu, Jian Zhang

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of super-immanants for supermatrices over a supercommutative algebra. Using the super Schur-Weyl duality we show that the super immanants play a significant role in covariant tensor representations of the general linear Lie superalgebra. Among various things, we obtain a supertrace formula for super-immanants, which generalizes Kostant's trace formula to the super setting. Furthermore, we show that the Littlewood correspondences between super-immanants and supersymmetric polynomials establish an isomorphism between their corresponding algebras.

Key Result

Proposition 2.1

Let $I=(i_1, \ldots , i_r)$ be an ordered multiset of $[m+n]$ and $X$ be the generator supermatrix of $A(\mathrm{Mat}_{m|n})$. Then for any $\lambda\vdash r$, where $\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{T}}^{\lambda}$ be the primitive idempotent of $\mathfrak S_r$ associated with a standard Young tableau ${\mathcal{T}}$ of shape $\lambda$. Moreover when $\lambda \notin H(m,n;r)$, $\mathrm{Imm}_{\chi^{\lambda}}(
