We study the set $\sncb (p,q)$ of annular non-crossing permutations of type B, and we introduce a corresponding set $\ncb (p,q)$ of annular non-crossing partitions of type B, where $p$ and $q$ are two positive integers. We prove that the…

In this paper we consider the characteristic polynomial of not necessarily ranked posets. We do so by allowing the rank to be an arbitrary function from the poset to the nonnegative integers. We will prove two results showing that the…

For coprime positive integers $a<b$, Armstrong, Rhoades, and Williams (2013) defined a set $NC(a,b)$ of rational noncrossing partitions, a subset of the ordinary noncrossing partitions of $\{1, \ldots, b-1\}$. Bodnar and Rhoades (2015)…

We obtain new nonexistence results for two classes of generalized bent functions from $\mathbb{Z}_{q}^{n}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_{q}$, called type $[n,q]$ generalized bent functions. The first class concerns the case $q=2 p_1^{e_1} p_2^{e_2}$,…

We investigate some weighted integer partitions whose generating functions are double-series. We will establish closed formulas for these $q$-double series and deduce that their coefficients are non-negative. This leads to inequalities…

We introduce two partially ordered sets, $P^A_n$ and $P^B_n$, of the same cardinalities as the type-A and type-B noncrossing partition lattices. The ground sets of $P^A_n$ and $P^B_n$ are subsets of the symmetric and the hyperoctahedral…

We show the classical $q$-Stirling numbers of the second kind can be expressed compactly as a pair of statistics on a subset of restricted growth words. The resulting expressions are polynomials in $q$ and $1+q$. We extend this enumerative…

For a finite Coxeter group $W$, Josuat-Verg\`es derived a $q$-polynomial counting the maximal chains in the lattice of noncrossing partitions of $W$ by weighting some of the covering relations, which we call bad edges, in these chains with…

The noncrossing partition poset associated to a Coxeter group $W$ and Coxeter element $c$ is the interval $[1,c]_T$ in the absolute order on $W$. We construct a new model of noncrossing partititions for $W$ of classical affine type, using…

We present the M\"{o}bius functions of several posets of annular noncrossing objects, namely a self-dual extension of the annular noncrossing permutations, minimal length annular partitioned permutations, and annular noncrossing partitons.

A q-series with nonnegative power series coefficients is called positive. The partition statistics BG-rank is defined as an alternating sum of parities of parts of a partition. It is known that the generating function for the number of…

We study the poset of d-indivisible noncrossing partitions introduced by M\"uhle, Nadeau and Williams. These are noncrossing partitions such that each block has cardinality 1 modulo d and each block of the dual partition also has…

Let $\zeta$ be a fixed nonzero element in a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. In this article, we count the number of pairs $(A,B)$ of $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb F_q$ satisfying $AB=\zeta BA$ by giving a generating…

We construct a $k$-fold $q$-series as a generating function of $k$-regular partitions for each positive integer $k$. The $k=1$ case is one of Euler's $q$-series identities pertaining to the partitions into distinct parts. The construction…

We study motivic zeta functions for $\mathds{Q}$-divisors in a $\mathds{Q}$-Gorenstein variety. By using a toric partial resolution of singularities we reduce this study to the local case of two normal crossing divisors where the ambient…

The partition functions $P(n,m,p)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts with each part at most $p$, and $Q(n,m,p)$, the number of integer partitons of $n$ into exactly $m$ distinct parts with each part at most…

Consider the noncrossing set partitions of an $n$-element set which either do not contain the block $\{n-1,n\}$, or which do not contain the singleton block $\{n\}$ whenever $1$ and $n-1$ are in the same block. In this article we study the…

Let N and p be two prime numbers > 3 such that p divides N-1. We estimate the p-rank of the class group of Q(N^(1/p)) in terms of the discrete logarithm, with values un F_p, of certain units. Using the Gross--Koblitz formula and identities…

In this paper, we construct the alternating multiple q-zeta function(= Multiple Euler q-zeta function) and investigate their properties. Finally, we give some interesting functional eauations related to q-Euler polynomials.

Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is…
