Adding +-1 to the Argument of a Hall-Littlewood Polynomial

Abstract. Shifting by +-1 powers sums: pi -> pi +- 1 induces a transformation on symmetric functions that we detail in the case of Hall-Littlewood polynomials. By iteration, this gives a description of these polynomials in terms of plane partitions, as well as some generating functions. We recover in particular an identity of Warnaar related to Rogers-Ramanujan identities.
