The Smith Normal Form of a Specialized Jacobi-Trudi Matrix

Let $\mathrm{JT}_λ$ be the Jacobi-Trudi matrix corresponding to the partition $λ$, so $\det\mathrm{JT}_λ$ is the Schur function $s_λ$ in the variables $x_1,x_2,\dots$. Set $x_1=\cdots=x_n=1$ and all other $x_i=0$. Then the entries of $\mathrm{JT}_λ$ become polynomials in $n$ of the form ${n+j-1\choose j}$. We determine the Smith normal form over the ring $\mathbb{Q}[n]$ of this specialization of $\mathrm{JT}_λ$. The proof carries over to the specialization $x_i=q^{i-1}$ for $1\leq i\leq n$ and $x_i=0$ for $i>n$, where we set $q^n=y$ and work over the ring $\mathbb{Q}(q)[y]$.
