Abstract

The determinantal identities of Hamel and Goulden have recently been shown to apply to a tableau-based ninth variation of skew Schur functions. Here we extend this approach and its results to the analogous tableau-based ninth variation of supersymmetric skew Schur functions. These tableaux are built on entries taken from an alphabet of unprimed and primed numbers and that may be ordered in a myriad of different ways, each leading to a determinantal identity. At the level of the ninth variation the corresponding determinantal identities are all distinct but the original notion of supersymmetry is lost. It is shown that this can be remedied at the level of the sixth variation involving a doubly infinite sequence of factorial parameters. Moreover it is shown that the resulting factorial supersymmetric skew Schur functions are independent of the ordering of the unprimed and primed entries in the alphabet.<br />Comment: 24 pages. Revised some wording; added a statement to the Conclusion about a special case of the main result
