A generalization of Weyl's denominator formulas for the classical groups

AbstractWe give a generalization of Weyl's denominator formulas for the classical groups. We consider the matrices whose constituents are the characters of the respective classical groups in the restricted variables for each column of the matrices and show that the determinants of the matrices are equal to the powers of the fundamental alternating polynomials (the original denominators of Weyl's denominator formulas)
