In this paper, I computed the second variation formula of the generalized Einstein-Hilbert functional and prove that a Bismut-flat, Einstein manifold is linearly stable under some curvature assumption. In the last part of the paper, I prove…
A Catalan word $w$ is said to be flattened if the subsequence of $w$ obtained by taking the first letter of each weakly increasing run is nondecreasing. Let $\mathcal{F}_n$ denote the set of flattened Catalan words of length $n$, which has…
We show how to extend the Karolyi-Nagy beautiful proof of the Zeilberger-Bressoud q-Dyson theorem, (first proved by Zeilberger and Bressoud in 1985, and originally conjectured by George Andrews in 1975), that states that the constant term…
Computer experiments suggest some conjectures about Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Catalan numbers. Unfortunately, for most of them I have no proofs. I would like to present them anyway hoping that someone finds them…
A proof for a conjecture by Shadrin and Zvonkine, relating the entries of a matrix arising in the study of Hurwitz numbers to a certain sequence of rational numbers, is given. The main tools used are iteration matrices of formal power…
The Catalan triangle, as well as a Fuss-Catalan triangle, enter a problem of counting particular tied arc diagrams. This setting allows us to prove some combinatorial properties of these triangles.
The main purpose of this note is to provide an elementary discussion of some simple triangles of integer numbers in particular through their connections with representation theory of $sl_2$. The triangles under consideration are the Catalan…
In this paper we set up a bivariate representation of partial theta functions which not only unifies some famous identities for partial theta functions due to Andrews and Warnaar, et al. but also unveils a new characteristic of such…
We show that the Eulerian-Catalan numbers enumerate Dyck permutations. We provide two proofs for this fact, the first using the geometry of alcoved polytopes and the second a direct combinatorial proof via an Eulerian-Catalan analogue of…
In the second paper of this series we extend our Bayesian reanalysis of the evidence for a cosmic variation of the fine structure constant to the semi-parametric modelling regime. By adopting a mixture of Dirichlet processes prior for the…
In this paper we establish an improvement of tilt-excess decay estimate for the Allen-Cahn equation, and use this to give a new proof of Savin's theorem on the uniform $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of flat level sets, which then implies the one…
In this paper, we prove the following asymptotic formula for the spectral cubic moment of central $L$-values: $$ \sum_{t_f \leqslant T} \frac {2 L \big( \tfrac 1 2 , f \big)^3} {L(1, \mathrm{Sym}^2 f)} + \frac {2} {\pi} \int_{0}^{T} \frac…
An alternative form of Fermats equation[1] is proposed. It represents a portion of the identity that includes three terms of Fermats original equation. This alternative form permits an elementary and compact proof of the first case of…
It is conjectured by Godsil that the relative number of controllable graphs compared to the total number of simple graphs on n vertices approaches one as n tends to infinity. We prove that this conjecture is true. More generally, our…
This article introduces and investigates a refinement of alternating sign trapezoids by means of Catalan objects and Motzkin paths. Alternating sign trapezoids are a generalisation of alternating sign triangles, which were recently…
In recent work, we considered the frequencies of patterns of consecutive primes $\pmod{q}$ and numerically found biases toward certain patterns and against others. We made a conjecture explaining these biases, the dominant factor in which…
We present the universal, in Vogel's sense, expression for the quantum dimension of Cartan product of an arbitrary number of adjoint and $X_2$ representations of simple Lie algebras. The same formula mysteriously gives quantum dimensions of…
Assume that $(X, d, \mu)$ is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss. In this article, motivated by the breakthrough work of P. Auscher and T. Hyt\"onen on orthonormal bases of regular wavelets on spaces of homogeneous…
In previous work of the authors, we investigated the Born and inverse Born series for a scalar wave equation with linear and nonlinear terms, the nonlinearity being cubic of Kerr type [8]. We reported conditions which guarantee convergence…
This paper establishes an interesting link between $k$th price auctions and Catalan numbers by showing that for distributions that have linear density, the bid function at any symmetric, increasing equilibrium of a $k$th price auction with…
