Bases: Category_realization_of_parent

Category of multiplicative bases of symmetric functions in non-commuting variables.

A multiplicative basis is one for which \(\mathbf{b}_A \mathbf{b}_B = \mathbf{b}_{A|B}\) where \(A|B\) is the pipe() operation on set partitions.

The projection of a monomial symmetric function in non-commuting variables indexed by the set partition A is defined as

\[\mathbf{m}_A \mapsto m_{\lambda(A)} \prod_i n_i(\lambda(A))!\]

where \(\lambda(A)\) is the partition associated with \(A\) by taking the sizes of the parts and \(n_i(\mu)\) is the multiplicity of \(i\) in \(\mu\). For other bases this map is extended linearly.

to_wqsym()[source]#

Return the image of self under the canonical inclusion map \(NCSym \to WQSym\).

The canonical inclusion map \(NCSym \to WQSym\) is an injective homomorphism of algebras. It sends a basis element \(\mathbf{m}_A\) of \(NCSym\) to the sum of basis elements \(\mathbf{M}_P\) of \(WQSym\), where \(P\) ranges over all ordered set partitions that become \(A\) when the ordering is forgotten. This map is denoted by \(\theta\) in [BZ05] (17).
