XV.—A Matrix Analogue of the Integral

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 February 2012

Synopsis

A multiple integral, whose integrand is an n × n determinant, is evaluated over certain regions of n-dimensional space. Similar integrals are encountered in the theory of Zonal polynomials. In the course of the work a partition problem arises. In the next paper of these Proceedings, Professor Rutherford enumerates these partitions and relates the subject to the theory of the representation of the symmetric group.
