Monomial symmetric function
= Monomial symmetric function
{title2=$m_\lambda$}
For an <integer partition> $\lambda$, $m_\lambda$ sums the distinct <monomials> whose positive exponent multiset is $\lambda$. No multiplicity is attached to repeated parts. The functions of fixed total degree form a <basis> of the <symmetric functions> of that degree, since finite variable <permutations> identify precisely these <monomial> orbits.
