dc.descriptionFrom the irreducible decompositions' point of view, the structure of the cyclic $GL_n$-module generated by the $α$-determinant degenerates when $α=\pm \frac1k (1\leq k\leq n-1)$. In this paper, we show that $-\frac1k$-determinant shares similar properties which the ordinary determinant possesses. From this fact, one can define a new (relative) invariant called a wreath determinant. Using $(GL_m, GL_n)$-duality in the sense of Howe, we obtain an expression of a wreath determinant by a certain linear combination of the corresponding ordinary minor determinants labeled by suitable rectangular shape tableaux. Also we study a wreath determinant analogue of the Vandermonde determinant, and then, investigate symmetric functions such as Schur functions in the framework of wreath determinants. Moreover, we examine coefficients which we call $(n,k)$-sign appeared at the linear expression of the wreath determinant in relation with a zonal spherical function of a Young subgroup of the symmetric group $S_{nk}$.
