Abstract
Motivated by recent experiments, we discuss the connection between immanants of an arbitrary mxm unitary matrix U and group functions D of U. This connection also applies to submatrices ofU and can be expanded with modifications to cases whereU carries a representation of SU(m) that is not the defining representation. Early results on the connections to twisted immanants are also included.
