Abstract:
The Capelli identity stands as one of the cornerstone results in classical invariant theory. This talk explores Capelli identities from multiple perspectives. We will introduce a novel generalization of the Capelli identity for immanants, extending Okounkov's earlier work. Additionally, we present generalized Turnbull's identities applicable to both symmetric and antisymmetric matrices, along with the generalized Howe-Umeda-Kostant-Sahi identities for antisymmetric matrices - the latter confirming a conjecture by Caracciolo, Sokal, and Sportiello. This represents joint work with Jian Zhang.
