Source abstract

We give several characterizations of an inhomogeneous basis of the ring of symmetric functions whose evaluations are the character values of the irreducible representations of the rook monoid (symmetric inverse semigroup). Using Schur--Weyl duality, we show that the transition coefficients of this basis with the power symmetric basis are the characters of the propagating partition algebra (dual symmetric inverse monoid algebra). In addition, the structure coefficients of this basis are equal to the coefficients in the smash (or Heisenberg) product of Schur functions.
