Extended Schur Functions and Bases Related by Involutions

Abstract. The extended Schur and shin functions are Schur-like bases of QSym and NSym. We define a creation operator and a Jacobi-Trudi rule for certain shin functions and show that a similar Jacobi-Trudi rule does not exist for every shin function. We also define the skew extended Schur functions and relate them to the multiplicative structure of the shin basis. Then, we introduce two new pairs of dual bases that result from applying the ρ and ω involutions to the extended Schur and shin functions. These bases are defined combinatorially via variations on shin-tableaux much like the row-strict extended Schur functions.
