Laurent Symmetric Functions
Abstract
We describe the ring of Laurent symmetric polynomials in terms of generators and relations, giving an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Symmetric Polynomials. We extend the Hall inner product, and give an algebraic proof that the Laurent Schur polynomials form an orthonormal basis of this ring. In the case of infinitely many variables, we realize the ring of Laurent symmetric functions as a direct limit of inverse limits, and relate them to characters of rational and algebraic representations of general linear groups.
