We give combinatorial interpretations for the coefficients that arise in expanding mA in terms of homogeneous symmetric functions and the elementary symmetric functions. Such coefficients are interpreted in terms of certain classes of bi-brick permutations. The theory of Lyndon words is shown to play an important role in our interpretations. 1 Introduction Let An denote the space of homogeneous symmetric functions of degree n in infinitely many variables X1 x2 . There are six standard bases of An mA A-n the monomial symmetric functions hA A-n the complete homogeneous symmetric functions eA A-n the elementary symmetric functions pA A-n the power symmetric functions sA A-n the Schur functions and fA A-n the forgotten symmetric functions where A F n denotes that A is a partition of n. We let Ế A denote the length of A . A equals the number of parts of A. The entries of the transition matrices between these bases of symmetric functions all have combinatorial significance. For example Doubilet 2 showed that all such entries could be interpreted via the lattice of set partitions X and The authors would like to thank the anonymous referee who suggested numerous improvements for the presentation of this paper.
