Let $\Delta$ be a (connected) Dynkin diagram of rank $n\ge 2$ and $\Phi_+ = \Phi_+(\Delta)$ the corresponding root poset (it consists of all positive roots with respect to a fixed root basis). The width of $\Phi_+$ is $n$. We will show that…

Given a complemented poset P, we can assign to every element x of P the set x^+ of all its complements. We study properties of the operator ^+ on P, in particular, we are interested in the case when x^+ forms an antichain or when ^+ is…

For a reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak h$ and a simple finite-dimensional $\mathfrak h$-module $V$, the set of weights of $V$, $P(V)$, has a natural poset structure. We consider antichains in the weight poset $P(V)$ and a certain operator…

The main result of this paper is a recursive description of all decompositions \[ \Delta^+ = \Phi_1 \sqcup \Phi_2 \sqcup \dots \sqcup \Phi_k \] of the positive roots $\Delta^+$ of an arbitrary root system $\Delta$ into a disjoint union of…

In this paper, we will show that for an operator $T$ which is injective and has dense range, there exists an invertible operator $X$ (in fact we can find $U+K$, where $U$ is an unitary operator and $K$ is a compact operator with norm less…

The set of weights of a finite-dimensional representation of a reductive Lie algebra has a natural poset structure ("weight poset"). Studying certain combinatorial problems related to antichains in weight posets, we realised that the best…

This is a continuation of our previous paper. We consider a certain order-like relation for positive operators on a Hilbert space. This relation is defined by using the Jensen inequality with respect to the square-root function. We show…

Let $\Delta$ be a root system with a subset of positive roots, $\Delta^+$. We consider edges of the Hasse diagrams of some posets associated with $\Delta^+$. For each edge one naturally defines its type, and we study the partition of the…

We introduce two polynomials (in $q$) associated with a finite poset $P$ that encode some information on the covering relation in $P$. If $P$ is a distributive lattice, and hence $P$ is isomorphic to the poset of dual order ideals in a…

We investigate in detail relationships between the set ${\mathfrak B}^\infty$ of all infinite ``biconvex'' sets in the positive root system $\Delta_+$ of an arbitrary untwisted affine Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ and the set ${\mathcal…

For operators generated by a certain class of infinite band matrices with matrix elements we establish a characterization of the resolvent set in terms of polynomial solutions of the underlying higher order finite difference equations. This…

The ring of locally-constant integer-valued functions on the dominant chamber of the Shi arrangement is endowed with a filtration and a new basis, compatible with this filtration, is found. This basis is compared to the trivial basis. The…

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible crystallographic root system with Weyl group $W$ and coroot lattice $\check{Q}$, spanning a Euclidean space $V$. Let $m$ be a positive integer and $\aA^m_\Phi$ be the arrangement of hyperplanes in $V$ of the…

We study the root polytope $\mathcal P_\Phi$ of a finite irreducible crystallographic root system $\Phi$ using its relation with the abelian ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra with root system $\Phi$. We determine the…

Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $q$ a power of $p$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. For a positive integer $n$ and a polynomial $\varphi(X)\in\mathbb{F}_q[X]$, let $d_{n,\varphi}(X)$ denote the denominator of the…

We study generating functions of strict and non-strict order polynomials of series-parallel posets, called order series. These order series are closely related to Ehrhart series and h*-polynomials of the associated order polytopes. We…

We study a family of mutually commutative difference operators associated with the affine root systems. These operators act on the space of meromorphic functions on the Cartan subalgebra of the affine Lie algebra. We show that the space…

Starting from the data of an arbor, which is a rooted tree with vertices decorated by disjoint sets, we introduce a lattice polytope and a partial order on its lattice points. We give recursive algorithms for various classical invariants of…
