Combinatorial structure of the entanglement spectrum and quantum error correction in finite vector spaces

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{C}$ with dimension $d$. Consider a subspace $S \subset V^{\otimes n}$ representing the code subspace of a quantum error correcting code. We ...

Expressing symmetric function in power-sum basis

I am trying to prove the following identity \begin{equation} \prod_{i=1}^{m}(1-x_{i}z)^{-u}\prod_{j=1}^{n}(1-y_{i}z)^{-v} \prod_{i=1}^{m}\prod_{j=1}^{n}(1-(x_i +y_j)z)^{-w}\\ = \sum_{\lambda, \mu}c_{\...

In search of a combinatorial proof on particular set of partitions

Given a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1\geq\lambda_2\geq\dots)$, denote the conjugate partition by $\lambda'=(\lambda_1'\geq\lambda_2'\geq\dots)$. For example, if $\lambda=(4,2,2)$ then $\lambda'=(3,3,1,...

Conjugation of bosonic and fermionic

We use the notation from semi-infinite wedge formalism $\bigwedge^{\infty/2}V$ with vector space $V$ generated by $$\left\{\underline{s}\mid s \in \mathbb{Z}+\frac12\right\}$$, we consider the charge ...

Jack function in power symmetric basis

In Macdonald's book, the Jack symmetric function $J_{\lambda}(x_1,\ldots, x_n)$ for a partition $\lambda$ is defined by three properties (orthogonality, triangularity, and normalization). In the ...

Sum of products of irreducible characters of the symmetric group over a subgroup

When trying to build a dual formulation for lattice gauge theories using Weingarten integration I am getting sums of the kind $$I^{m, n}_{\mu, \nu} (\sigma, \tau) = \sum_{\pi \in S_n} \chi_\mu (\pi \...

Young tableaux for exceptional Lie algebras

Irreducible representations for the $A$-series Lie algebras are labelled Young diagrams, with a basis of each given by Young tableaux. Moreover, analogues exist for the $B,C$, and $D$ series. Does ...

what else is in $\prod_{j=1}^n(1+q^j)$?

From time to time, I run into the finite product $\prod_{j=1}^n(1+q^j)$. And, the more it happens, the more fascinated I've become. So, herein, I wish to get help in collecting such results. To give ...

Littlewood–Richardson rule and the Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber integral

The Littlewood–Richardson rule states that the product of two Schur polynomials can be written as a finite weighted sum of Schur polynomials. More precisely $$ s_\lambda s_\mu = \sum_\nu c_{\lambda,\...

Differences of Numbers of Helicity States in 4-dimensional Strings

The question whether the states in $D=2m + 2$ dimensional string theory, which carry a representation of $SO(2m)$, span spaces which carry representations of $SO(2m+1)$ seems hopelessly complicated. ...

Symmetric tensor product of bosonic/fermionic Hilbert space

Consider two representation of the group $SU(n)$: $Sym^k(\mathbb{C}^n)$ and $\wedge^k\mathbb{C}^n$ ($k\leq n$) and take their symmetric tensor products: $Sym^2(Sym^k(\mathbb{C}^n))$, $Sym^2(\wedge^k\...
