Skew shape formula

Statement

There is a generalization of this formula for skew shapes,

sλ/μ(1,t,t2,⋯ )=∑S∈E(λ/μ)∏(i,j)∈λ∖Stλj′−i1−th(i,j)s_{\lambda/\mu}(1,t,t^2,\cdots) = \sum_{S \in E(\lambda/\mu)} \prod_{(i,j) \in \lambda\setminus S} \frac{t^{\lambda_j'-i}}{1-t^{h(i,j)}}

where the sum is taken over excited diagrams of shape λ\lambda and boxes distributed according to μ\mu.

A variation on the same theme is given by Okounkov and Olshanski of the form

dim⁡λ/μdim⁡λ=sμ∗(λ)∣λ∣!/∣μ∣!,\frac{\dim\lambda/\mu}{\dim\lambda}=\frac{s^*_\mu(\lambda)}{|\lambda|!/|\mu|!},

where sμ∗s^*_\mu is the so-called shifted Schur function sμ∗(x1,…,xn)=det⁡[(xi+n−1)!/(μj+n−j)!]det⁡[(xi+n−i)!/(n−j)!]s^*_\mu(x_1,\dots,x_n)=\frac{\det[(x_i+n-1)!/(\mu_j+n-j)!]}{\det[(x_i+n-i)!/(n-j)!]}.
