Decomposition results for Gram matrix determinants (1009.4036v2)

Abstract: We study the Gram matrix determinants for the groups $S_n,O_n,B_n,H_n$, for their free versions $S_n^+,O_n^+,B_n^+,H_n^+$, and for the half-liberated versions $O_n^,H_n^$. We first collect all the known computations of such determinants, along with complete and simplified proofs, and with generalizations where needed. We conjecture that all these determinants decompose as $D=\prod_\pi\phi(\pi)$, with product over all associated partitions.
