Abstract

An identity is derived expressing Schur functions as sums over products of pairs of Schur QQ-functions, generalizing previously known special cases. This is shown to follow from their representations as vacuum expectation values (VEV's) of products of either charged or neutral fermionic creation and annihilation operators, Wick's theorem and a factorization identity for VEV's of products of two mutually anticommuting sets of neutral fermionic operators.
