FUNCTION: IdcaOnXfix - action of an element of the idCoxeter algebra on the ring of polynomials as a free module over Sym

CALLING SEQUENCE:

IdcaOnXfix(e_1, exp)

IDCA[IdcaOnXfix](e_1, exp)

PARAMETERS:

e_1 = any element of the symmetric group algebra

exp = any expression

SYNOPSIS:

• The IdcaOnXfix function realizes the action of an element of the idCoxeter algebra, say e_1, on an expression exp expressed on the X Schubert basis with coefficients that are symmetric polynomials in the basis of Schur functions.

• The expression exp is expanded and the result is not collected.

• One may add 'noexpand' just after the argument exp to choose not to expand the expression exp before treating it.

• One may collect the result by adding a third argument: this is done by IdcaOnXfix(e_1, exp, 'collect'). Moreover, one can use both noexpand and collect options: IdcaOnXfix(e_1, exp, 'noexpand', 'collect').

• The action of the element SgTranspo(i,n) on the Schubert polynomial X[perm] is : let nu = MultPerm(perm, SgTranspo(i,n)), then X[perm] --> 0 if length(nu) > length(perm) X[perm] --> X[nu] x_{i+1} otherwise.

• The result is expressed on the X Schubert basis corresponding to a given symmetric group and is not collected.

• Whenever there is a conflict between the function name IdcaOnXfix and another name used in the same session, use the long form IDCA['IdcaOnXfix'].
