摘要

The elementary symmetric partition function is a map on the set of integer partitions. It sends a partition \(\lambda \) λ to the partition whose parts are the summands in the evaluation of the elementary symmetric function on the parts of \(\lambda \) λ . These elementary symmetric partition functions have been studied before, and are related to plethysm. In this note, we study properties of the elementary symmetric partition functions, particularly related to injectivity and the number of parts appearing in their image partitions.
