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 $L_0$, ...

proof of result from Ian Macdonald's paper "A New Class of Symmetric Functions"
I'm currently working my way through Ian MacDonald's somewhat seminal 1988 paper entitled "A New Class of Symmetric Functions" in Seminaire Lotharingien B20a, pp. 131–171 (EuDML). I'm fine ...

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 $s_k(x_1,x_2,x_1,x_2)$ ...
