r""" Return a set which functions as a basis of `S_K(n,r)`.
More specifically, the basis for `S_K(n,r)` consists of equivalence classes of pairs of tuples of length ``r`` on the alphabet `\{1, \dots, n\}`, where the equivalence relation is simultaneous permutation of the two tuples. We can therefore fix a representative for each equivalence class in which the entries of the first tuple weakly increase, and the entries of the second tuple whose corresponding values in the first tuple are equal, also weakly increase.
EXAMPLES::
sage: from sage.algebras.schur_algebra import schur_representative_indices sage: schur_representative_indices(2, 2) [((1, 1), (1, 1)), ((1, 1), (1, 2)), ((1, 1), (2, 2)), ((1, 2), (1, 1)), ((1, 2), (1, 2)), ((1, 2), (2, 1)), ((1, 2), (2, 2)), ((2, 2), (1, 1)), ((2, 2), (1, 2)), ((2, 2), (2, 2))] """ else: else: else:

r""" A Schur algebra.
Let `R` be a commutative ring, `n` be a positive integer, and `r` be a non-negative integer. Define `A_R(n,r)` to be the set of homogeneous polynomials of degree `r` in `n^2` variables `x_{ij}`. Therefore we can write `R[x_{ij}] = \bigoplus_{r \geq 0} A_R(n,r)`, and `R[x_{ij}]` is known to be a bialgebra with coproduct given by `\Delta(x_{ij}) = \sum_l x_{il} \otimes x_{lj}` and counit `\varepsilon(x_{ij}) = \delta_{ij}`. Therefore `A_R(n,r)` is a subcoalgebra of `R[x_{ij}]`. The *Schur algebra* `S_R(n,r)` is the linear dual to `A_R(n,r)`, that is `S_R(n,r) := \hom(A_R(n,r), R)`, and `S_R(n,r)` obtains its algebra structure naturally by dualizing the comultiplication of `A_R(n,r)`.
Let `V = R^n`. One of the most important properties of the Schur algebra `S_R(n, r)` is that it is isomorphic to the endomorphisms of `V^{\otimes r}` which commute with the natural action of `S_r`.

r""" Return the character of the irreducible module indexed by ``mu`` of `GL(n)` over the field ``KK``.
INPUT:
- ``n`` -- a positive integer - ``mu`` -- a partition of at most ``n`` parts - ``KK`` -- a field
OUTPUT:
a symmetric function which should be interpreted in ``n`` variables to be meaningful as a character
EXAMPLES:
Over `\QQ`, the irreducible character for `\mu` is the Schur function associated to `\mu`, plus garbage terms (Schur functions associated to partitions with more than `n` parts)::
sage: from sage.algebras.schur_algebra import GL_irreducible_character sage: sbasis = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).s() sage: z = GL_irreducible_character(2, [2], QQ) sage: sbasis(z) s[2]
sage: z = GL_irreducible_character(4, [3, 2], QQ) sage: sbasis(z) -5*s[1, 1, 1, 1, 1] + s[3, 2]
Over a Galois field, the irreducible character for `\mu` will in general be smaller.
In characteristic `p`, for a one-part partition `(r)`, where `r = a_0 + p a_1 + p^2 a_2 + \dots`, the result is (see [Gr2007]_, after 5.5d) the product of `h[a_0], h[a_1]( pbasis[p]), h[a_2] ( pbasis[p^2]), \dots,` which is consistent with the following ::

# [Green, Theorem 5.3b] says that a basis of the Carter-Lusztig # module V_\mu is given by taking this f, and multiplying by all # xi_{i,ell} with ell as above and i semistandard.
#Therefore, we now have carter_lusztig as a list giving the basis #of `V_\mu`
#We want to think of expressing this character as a sum of monomial #symmetric functions.
#We will determine a basis element for each m_\lambda in the #character, and we want to keep track of them by \lambda.
#That means that we only want to pick out the basis elements above for #those semistandard words whose content is a partition.
# all partitions of r, length at most n
# JJ will consist of a list for each element of `contents`, # recording the list # of semistandard tableaux words with that content

#There is an inner product on the Carter-Lusztig module V_\mu; its #maximal submodule is exactly the kernel of the inner product.
#Now, for each possible partition content, we look at the graded piece of #that degree, and we record how these elements pair with each of the #elements of carter_lusztig.
#The kernel of this pairing is the part of this graded piece which is #not in the irreducible module for \mu.
