Symmetric functions are symmetric polynomials, in finitely many, or countably infinitely many variables. They arise in the representation theory of symmetric groups and in the polynomial representation theory of general linear groups. Bases of the ring of symmetric functions are indexed by integer partitions. Schur functions, elementary symmetric functions, complete symmetric functions, and power sum symmetric functions are the most commonly used bases.

Asymptotic character theory of unitary groups via shifted Schur functions

Yes, they probably mean https://arxiv.org/abs/q-alg/9709011 There, they consider the Jack generalization of the problem, but if you set $\theta=1$, then you get the theory of characters of the unitary …

universality of Macdonald polynomials

There is a result by Sergei Kerov (in his book Asymptotic representation theory of the symmetric group and its applications in analysis) which somewhat charaterizes the Macdonald symmetric functions. …
