In this mainly expository article, we revisit some formal aspects of B{\'a}ez-Duarte's criterion for the Riemann hypothesis. In particular, starting from Weingartner's formulation of the criterion, we define an arithmetical function $\nu$,…
We define piecewise-linear and birational analogues of the toggle-involutions on order ideals of posets studied by Striker and Williams and use them to define corresponding analogues of rowmotion and promotion that share many of the…
In this paper, we characterize the boundedness, the compactness and the Hilbert-Schmidt property for composition operators acting from a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(b)$ into itself, when $b$ is a rational function in the closed…
An $(m, n)$-parking function can be characterized as function $f:[n] \to [m]$ such that the partition obtained by reordering the values of $f$ fits inside a right triangle with legs of length $m$ and $n$. Recent work by McCammond, Thomas,…
We give a sufficient and necessary condition for an analytic function $f(z)$ on the unit ball $\BB$ in $\CC^n$ with Hadamard gaps, that is, for $f(z)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty P_{n_k}(z)$ where $P_{n_k}(z)$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree…
We prove that a Schur function of rectangular shape $(M^n)$ whose variables are specialized to $x_1,x_1^{-1},...,x_n,x_n^{-1}$ factorizes into a product of two odd orthogonal characters of rectangular shape, one of which is evaluated at…
The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, is a poset. We give a formula for the M\"obius function of intervals $[1,\pi]$ in this poset, for any permutation $\pi$ with at most one descent. We compute the M\"obius function…
The Hilbert spaces $\mathscr{H}_{w}$ consisiting of Dirichlet series $F(s)=\sum_{ n = 1}^\infty a_n n^{ -s }$ that satisfty $\sum_{ n=1 }^\infty | a_n |^2/ w_n < \infty$, with $\{w_n\}_n$ of average order $\log_j n$ (the $j$-fold logarithm…
We extend a classical result of Caughran/Schwartz and another recent result of Gunatillake by showing that if D is a bounded, convex domain in n-dimensional complex space, m is a holomorphic function on D and bounded away from zero toward…
We use a characterization of Minkowski measurability to study the asymptotics of best packing on cut-out subsets of the real line with Minkowski dimension $d\in(0,1)$. Our main result is a proof that Minkowski measurability is a sufficient…
The stretched Littlewood-Richardson coefficient $c^{t\nu}_{t\lambda,t\mu}$ was conjectured by King, Tollu, and Toumazet to be a polynomial function in $t.$ It was shown to be true by Derksen and Weyman using semi-invariants of quivers.…
If $S$ is a cofinite set of positive integers, an "$S$-restricted composition of $n$" is a sequence of elements of $S$, denoted $\vec{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...)$, whose sum is $n$. For uniform random $S$-restricted compositions, the…
We give an alternative characterization of the class of Muckenhoupt weights $A_{\infty, \mathfrak B}$ for homothecy invariant Muckenhoupt bases $\mathfrak B$ consisting of convex sets. In particular we show that $w\in A_{\infty, \mathfrak…
Building on techniques used in the case of the disc, we use a variety of methods to develop formulae for the adjoints of composition operators on Hardy spaces of the upper half-plane. In doing so, we prove a slight extension of a known…
Counting functions are constructed for sums of integers raised to a fixed positive rational power. That is, given values formed by $u_1^{j/k} + u_2^{j/k} + ... + u_l^{j/k}$, $u_i \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, the number of values less than or equal to…
We introduce a natural partial order on the set Cones(d) of rational cones in R^d. The poset NPol(d-1) of normal polytopes in R^{d-1} embeds into Cones(d) via the homogenization map. The order in Cones(d) is conjecturally the inclusion…
An action on order ideals of posets considered by Fon-Der-Flaass is analyzed in the case of posets arising from minuscule representations of complex simple Lie algebras. For these minuscule posets, it is shown that the Fon-Der-Flaass action…
In this paper, we characterize the boundedness and the compactness of weighted composition operators acting on a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(b)$, where the symbol $b$ is a rational function in the unit ball of $H^\infty$ that is…
We study the values of the M\"obius function $\mu$ of intervals in the containment poset of permutations. We construct a sequence of permutations $\pi_n$ of size $2n-2$ for which $\mu(1,\pi_n)$ is given by a polynomial in $n$ of degree 7.…
For fixed weights w_1,...,w_n, and for d>0, we let B denote a collection of d*n balls, with d balls of weight w_i for each i=1,...,n. We consider the problem of assigning the balls to n bins with capacities C_1,...,C_n, in such a way that…
