Stable Equivalences of Giambelli Type Matrices of Schur Functions

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

By using cutting strips and transformations on outside decompositions of a skew diagram, we show that the Giambelli type matrices of a skew Schur function are stably equivalent to each other over symmetric functions. As a consequence, the Jacobi-Trudi matrix and the dual Jacobi-Trudi matrix are stably equivalent over symmetric functions. This gives an affirmative answer to an open problem posed by Kuperberg.
