Is there a Giambelli identity with dual representations?
For natural numbers $a,b$ with $b\leq n-1$, let $V_{ (a|b)}$ be the irreducible representation of $GL_n$ with highest weight vector $(a+1, 1^b, 0^{n-b-1})$ where the exponentiation denotes repetition.

Classification of algebras of finite global dimension via determinants of certain 0-1-matrices
I restrict to the elementary problem that is equivalent to give a classification when Morita-Nakayama algebras have finite global dimension (see the end of this post for some background).
A Morita-...

det(A)det(B) = det(AB+correction), Capelli identities, "factorized" representation of $\mathfrak {gl}_n$
Context: Some probably know that there are Capelli identities which state
$$det(A)det(B) = det(AB+correction)$$ for some matrices with non-commuting elements, they go back to the 19-th century, but ...

On a problem for determinants associated to Cartan matrices of certain algebras
This is a continuation of Classification of algebras of finite global dimension via determinants of certain 0-1-matrices but this time with a concrete conjecture and using the simplification suggested ...

Sum identities with immanants
For $\chi$ being an irreducible character of the symmetric group $S_n$ and being $M$ a complex $n\times n$-matrix, I would like to show

Monomial base change and the Vandermonde
Denote the falling factorials by $(x)_k=x(x-1)\cdots(x-k+1)$.
The Vandermonde determinant is given by $\det\left[x_i^{j-1}\right]_1^n=\prod_{i<j}(x_j-x_i)$.
It is well-known that in as much as ...

An identity for Schur polynomials
Given a partition $\lambda$, the Schur polynomials can be defined, among many other ways, as
$$S_{\lambda}(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_a)=\frac{\det\left(\xi_i^{\lambda_j+a-j}\right)_{i,j=1}^a}{\det\left(\xi_i^{a-...

Cartan determinants of subsets
Let $n \geq 3$ be fixed.
We associate to every subset $S \subseteq \{1,...,n-1 \}$ a number, which we call Cartan determinant of $S$ (see the end of this post for a representation theoretic background)...
