$\text{Determinant}=(\sum \text{Determinant})^2$

Denote by $\delta_{n-1}=(n-1,n-2,\dots,1,0,0,\dots)$ the staircase partition and the embedded partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\dots)\subset\delta_{n-1}$. QUESTION 1. Is this true? $$\det\...

Separate the trivial partition by a linear hyperspace

Let $e=[1,1,\ldots,1]\in\mathbb{Z}^n$. I am looking for a way to find a vector $a\in\mathbb{Z}^n$ such that: $\langle a,e\rangle=0$ and for every nonnegative $v\in\mathbb{Z}^n$ such that $\langle e,v\...

Where does this identity involving sums of Hankel-like determinants over partitions come from?

For a partition $\lambda=( \lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n)\vdash n$ with $\lambda_1\ge\dots\ge\lambda_n\ge0$ and any function $f:\mathbb Z\to\mathbb C$, define a Hankel-like $n\times n$ matrix $$M_f(\...
