Abstract
We establish the -hardness of computing a broad class of immanants, even when restricted to specific categories of matrices. Concretely, we prove that computing -immanants of - matrices is -hard whenever the partition~ contains a sufficiently large domino-tileable region, subject to certain technical conditions. We also give hardness proofs for some -immanants of weighted adjacency matrices of planar directed graphs, such that the shape has size such that for some , and such that for some , the shape is tileable with dominos.
