character -- Determines the character of a composition of Schur functors applied to the representation of GL(V) on V

Synopsis

Description

Given a list L of partitions {L1,...,Ln} computes the character of the composition of Schur functors SL1(SL2(...(SLn(V)))) applied to the canonical representation of GL(V) where dim(V)=d

i1 : character({{1,1,1},{2}},4)--The GL(4) action on the Grassmannian of 3-dimensional subspaces of quadrics in four variables
