Proving an identity for flagged Schur without use of determinants?
In proposition 3 of Determinantal transition kernels for some interacting particles on the line, Dieker and Warren prove the following identity: consider vector $a:=(a_1,\dotsc,a_N)$ and kernels
$$\...

Applying $\sum_i \partial_{x_i}$, $\sum_i x_i \partial_{x_i}$ and $\sum_i x_i^2 \partial_{x_i}$ to Schur polynomials
The operators $L_k=\sum_i x_i^k\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}$, with integer $k$, take symmetric polynomials into symmetric polynomials.
Is it known how to write the result of the application of $L_0$, ...

Schur polynomial, change of variable
Let $k=(k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4)\in \mathbb{N}^4$ and let $s_k(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)$ be the Schur polynomial on $GL_4$.
Question 1: If I replace $x_3$ with $x_1$ and $x_4$ with $x_2$, can $s_k(x_1,x_2,x_1,x_2)$ ...
