toE -- Elementary symmetric (e-) basis representation

Synopsis

Description

Given a symmetric function f, the function toE yields a representation of f as a polynomial in the elementary symmetric functions.

If f is an element of a Schur ring S then the output fe is an element of the Symmetric ring associated to S (see symmetricRing).

i1 : R = symmetricRing 7;
 
i2 : toE(h_3*e_3)

      3                2
o2 = e e  - 2e e e  + e
      1 3     1 2 3    3

o2 : R
 
i3 : S = schurRing(s,4)

o3 = S

o3 : SchurRing
 
i4 : toE S_{3,2,1}

               2    2
o4 = e e e  - e  - e e
      1 2 3    3    1 4

o4 : QQ[e ..e , p ..p , h ..h ]
         1   4   1   4   1   4

This also works over tensor products of Symmetric/Schur rings.

i5 : R = schurRing(r, 4, EHPVariables => (a,b,c));
 
i6 : S = schurRing(R, s, 2, EHPVariables => (x,y,z));
 
i7 : T = schurRing(S, t, 3);
 
i8 : A = symmetricRing T;
 
i9 : f = (r_1+s_1+t_1)^2

o9 = t  + t    + (2r  s  + 2r s  )t  + (s  + s    + 2r s  + (r  +
