The "Jack function" (also known as the Jack polynomial) is a type of symmetric polynomial that generalizes the Schur polynomials. Jack polynomials depend on a parameter \\( \\alpha \\) and are indexed by partitions. They can be used in various areas of mathematics, including combinatorics, representation theory, and algebraic geometry.
