Giambelli's formula

In mathematics, Giambelli's formula, named after Giovanni Giambelli, expresses Schubert classes in terms of special Schubert classes, or Schur functions in terms of complete symmetric functions.

It states

$\displaystyle \sigma _{\lambda }=\det(\sigma _{\lambda _{i}+j-i})_{1\leq i,j\leq r}$

where σ_λ is the Schubert class of a partition λ.

Giambelli's formula is a consequence of Pieri's formula. The Porteous formula is a generalization to morphisms of vector bundles over a variety.
