Standard tableaux of skew shape are fundamental objects in enumerative and algebraic combinatorics and no product formula for the number is known. In 2014, Naruse gave a formula (NHLF) as a positive sum over excited diagrams of products of…
We introduce a generalization of the Stirling numbers via symmetric functions involving two weight functions. The resulting extension unifies previously known Stirling-type sequences with known symmetric function forms, as well as other…
The numbers $f_\lambda$ of standard tableaux of shape $\lambda\vdash n$ satisfy 2 fundamental recursions: $f_\lambda = \sum f_{\lambda^-}$ and $(n + 1)f_\lambda=\sum f_{\lambda^+}$, where $\lambda^-$ and $\lambda^+$ run over all shapes…
Iterating the skew RSK correspondence discovered by Sagan and Stanley in the late '80s, we define a deterministic dynamics on the space of pairs of skew Young tableaux $(P,Q)$. We find that this skew RSK dynamics displays conservation laws…
We show that skew-orthogonal functions, defined with respect to Jacobi weight $w_{a,b}(x)={(1-x)}^a{(1+x)}^b$, $a$, $b>-1$, including the limiting cases of Laguerre ($w_{a}(x)=x^{a}e^{-x}$, $a > -1$) and Gaussian weight ($w(x)=e^{-x^2}$),…
We show the equivalence of the Pieri formula for flag manifolds and certain identities among the structure constants, giving new proofs of both the Pieri formula and of these identities. A key step is the association of a symmetric function…
We study skew-orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight function $\exp[-2V(x)]$, with $V(x)=\sum_{K=1}^{2d}(u_{K}/{K})x^{K}$, $u_{2d} > 0$, $d > 0$. A finite subsequence of such skew-orthogonal polynomials arising in the study of…
Over the past years, major attention has been drawn to the question of identifying Schur-positive sets, i.e. sets of permutations whose associated quasisymmetric function is symmetric and can be written as a non-negative sum of Schur…
In this paper all of the classical constructions of A. Young are generalized to affine Hecke algebras of type A. It is proved that the calibrated irreducible representations of the affine Hecke algebra are indexed by placed skew shapes and…
We present a single operation for constructing skew diagrams whose corresponding skew Schur functions are equal. This combinatorial operation naturally generalises and unifies all results of this type to date. Moreover, our operation…
We define an action of the symmetric group on the set of domino tableaux, and prove that the number of domino tableaux of a given weight does not depend on the permutation of components of the last. A bijective proof of the well-known…
We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…
Skewness is a common occurrence in statistical applications. In recent years, various distribution families have been proposed to model skewed data by introducing unequal scales based on the median or mode. However, we argue that the point…
The matrix exponential restricted to skew-symmetric matrices has numerous applications, notably in view of its interpretation as the Lie group exponential and Riemannian exponential for the special orthogonal group. We characterize the…
The classical Robinson--Schensted--Knuth correspondence is a bijection from nonnegative integer matrices to pairs of semi-standard Young tableaux. Based on the work of, among others, Burge, Hillman, Grassl, Knuth and Gansner, it is known…
There is a two-component log-gas system with Boltzmann factor which provides an interpolation between the eigenvalue PDF for $\beta = 1$ and $\beta = 4$ invariant random matrix ensembles. The solvability of this log-gas system relies on the…
We extend a quantized skew Howe duality result for Type $\mathbf{A}$ algebras to orthogonal types via a seesaw. We develop an operator commutant version of the First Fundamental Theorem of invariant theory for $U_q(\mathfrak{so}_n)$ using a…
In this paper, we firstly extend a result of Bonin, Shapiro and Simion by giving the distribution of the major index over generalized Schr\"{o}der paths. Then by providing a bijection between generalized Schr\"{o}der paths and…
We first enumerate a generalization of domino towers that was proposed by Tricia M. Brown (J. Integer Seq. 20 (2017)), which we call S-omino towers. We establish equations that the generating function must satisfy and then apply the…
Cylindric skew Schur functions, a generalization of skew Schur functions, are closely related to the famous problem finding a combinatorial formula for the 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of Grassmannian. In this paper, we prove cylindric…
