Abstract

We consider two natural gradings on the space of symmetric functions: by degree and by length. We introduce a differential operator T that leaves the components of this double grading invariant and exhibit a basis of bihomogeneous symmetric functions in which this operator is triangular. This allows us to compute the eigenvalues of T, which turn out to be nonnegative integers.
