Elementary proofs of identities for Schur functions and plane partitions

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Elementary proofs are given for sums of Schur functions over partitions into at most n parts each less than or equal to m for which i) all parts are even, ii) all parts of the conjugate partition are even. Also, an elementary proof of a recent result of Ishikawa and Wakayama is given.
