Difference Raising Operators for Kirillov-Reshetikhin Characters and Parabolic Jing Operators

In this paper, we use the techniques of plethystic substitution to reformulate the difference raising operators presented by Di Francesco and Kedem. A connection between these operators and Shimozono and Zabrocki's parabolic Jing operators is presented. In particular, we find that these operators are a renormalization of a particular case of the parabolic Jing operators.
