How to create a symmetry function

Posted 3 years ago

Hi, I am new learner for Mathematica mainly following video and notebooks from Prof. Nikolay Gromov. So I am trying to reproduce the Matrix calculation using orthogonal polynomial methods here http://msstp.org/sites/default/files/ProblemSet2_RandomMatricesOrthogonalPolynomials_Solutions_0.pdf . However, I am unable to reproduce the same result below. I try some changes but ultimately not the result wanted. Appreciate if anyone could give some hints? Thanks a lot.

Thanks so much for the reply. The purpose of constructing a symmetry function is to verify an equation for Vandermonde determinant. For example, n=2 case below, symmetrize a will be equal to b. enter image description here

Delta[n_] = Product[x[i] - x[j], {i, n}, {j, i - 1}]

a = 2! Delta[2] Product[x[i]^(i - 1), {i, 2}] // Expand

b = Delta[2]^2 // Expand
