Coderivations of $S(V)$ correspond to linear maps $S(V) \to V.$ Only over characteristic $0$?
@AliTaghavi: Yes, I mean the standard coalgebra structure on the symmetric algebra -- i.e., the one that forms a bialgebra together with the standard algebra structure, and in which bialgebra the elements of $V$ are primitive.

Can we construct the circular permutation from partial partition info?
How much partial information do we know? Do I understand correctly that your data is of the form "the points $a$ and $b$ lie on the same side / on different sides of the chord $cd$" for various quadruples of points $a,b,c,d$ on the circle? Are you interested in results of the form "if we have $x$ many such statements, then we can uniquely recover the relative cyclic order of the points" or "if we have this specific set of statements, then we can uniquely recover..."?

Lie algebra with finitely generated envelope
The proposition also follows easily from PBW, right? (PBW yields a basis of $U\left(\mathfrak g\right)$ that includes a basis of $U\left(\mathfrak h\right)$ as a subset.)

Short exact sequences every mathematician should know
Note that the first exact sequence here holds for arbitrary modules over any commutative ring, as long as the first nonzero term is understood appropriately (as a sum of canonical images rather than of the tensor products themselves).

What is the state of invariant theory?
Also I expect a lot of activity to follow in the anticommutative and noncommutative settings (which lag behind the commutative one for historical reasons).

What is the state of invariant theory?
There is a recent book by De Concini and Procesi with some fairly recent results in it. Usually the question is to find generators and relations for the invariant rings of a family of groups acting on a family of spaces (e.g., $\operatorname{GL}_n$ acting on $K^{n\times n}$ by conjugation). This is not a computational problem, since the families are typically infinite (all $n$, not just a few). Also, fields of positive characteristic offer a challenge in many situation where the characteristic-$0$ theory can be derived from general facts.

Are the ranks of the following matrices given by these simple expressions?
Likewise, the rank of $B_N$ is the dimension of the span of the matrices $P - P^T$, where $P$ ranges over the permutation matrices. Knowing a basis of the span of all permutation matrices, you can easily find a basis of the new span as well.

Are the ranks of the following matrices given by these simple expressions?
The rank of $A_N$ is the dimension of its column space, but its column space is the span of all permutation matrices (vectorized as vectors of length $N^2$). The latter span is known to have dimension $\left(N-1\right)^2 + 1$ (see, e.g., math.stackexchange.com/questions/70569/… ).

What's the explicit value of this determinant
@JosephVanName: The extra $2$ factor in your formula for $t_n$ is spurious -- I assume you have replaced the $1$s in the first column by $b_i^0 + c_i^0 = 2$'s, which caused the determinant to get scaled by $2$.

Proving an identity for flagged Schur without use of determinants?
@ZachH: But the flag conditions are on columns before the transposition, aren't they? The flagged $e$-Jacobi-Trudi formula is column-flagged.

Proving an identity for flagged Schur without use of determinants?
I think both the Jacobi-Trudi formula and the tableaux formulas for $\Pi$ in the original post (in its current version) are correct. Where exactly do you see an inconsistency?
comment
Proving an identity for flagged Schur without use of determinants?
Right, but the Jacobi-Trudi formula that involves $e$-functions also involves conjugate partitions, so I think that any transformation that will make the shapes fit together will also make the flag conditions match. Or am I getting things wrong?
