- Abstract
- The ring of symmetric functions is a graded ring with important applications in mathematical physics. By examining the various transition matrices between the different bases of the ring of symmetric functions, we are able to write the spin characters of the symmetric group in terms of the ordinary characters of the symmetric group. This approach allows us to describe a new, non-recursive, combinatorial algorithm for the spin characters. We also present simpler algorithms in two special cases.; C1
