Abstract

We introduce a basis of the symmetric functions that evaluates to the (irreducible) characters of the symmetric group, just as the Schur functions evaluate to the irreducible characters of GLn modules. Our main result gives three different characterizations for this basis. One of the characterizations shows that the structure coefficients for the (outer) product of these functions are the stable Kronecker coefficients. The results in this paper focus on developing the fundamental properties of this basis.
