Super power sums from hook vanishing #
The full symmetric-function lemma (Lemma A.9 of the accompanying
paper): a sequence whose determinant Schur specialization vanishes
on every Young diagram outside the (a, b) hook is a
difference of power sums of two disjoint multisets of nonzero
complex numbers, of sizes at most a and b.
This is the composition of exists_recurrence_of_schurDet_vanishing
(RecurrenceFromVanishing.lean) with superPowerSums_of_recurrence
(RationalityFromRecurrence.lean), through the list↔diagram bridge
of Common/YoungDiagrams.lean.
Lemma A.9: if the Schur specialization of t vanishes on
every diagram outside the (a, b) hook, then t is a super power
sum: a difference of power sums of disjoint multisets of nonzero
complex numbers of sizes at most a and b.
The nilpotent-trace engine: a sequence whose Schur
specialization vanishes outside a hook and which is eventually zero
vanishes identically from degree 1 onward. (Lemmas A.9 and A.10
composed; the categorical nilpotent-trace theorem instantiates
t m with the traces of the powers of a nilpotent endomorphism.)
