The one-row and one-column idempotents #
The central idempotent of the single-row shape of size n is the
symmetriser of ℂ[S_n], and that of the single-column shape is the
antisymmetriser: Shape.e P (rowShape n) = symmetriser n and
Shape.e P (colShape n) = antisymmetriser n.
The route runs through the Frobenius field of the package. The
Schur specialisation of the single-row shape is the complete
homogeneous value newtonH t n (a one-by-one Jacobi–Trudi
determinant), and that of the single-column shape is the elementary
value (-1)^n · newtonH (-t) n (an n × n determinant, evaluated
by clearing with the unitriangular matrix of newtonHZ (-t) through
the convolution identity of NewtonConv.lean). The cycle-sum
identity of SchurTheory/CycleSum.lean expresses the same two
specialisations as the Frobenius pairings of the constant and the
sign character, so the determination theorem of RegularSum.lean
pins the package's characters on these shapes; idempotency then
forces dimension one, and the idempotents coincide with the
symmetriser and antisymmetriser on the nose.
