This paper presents a noncommutative theory of symmetric functions, based on the notion of quasi-determinant. We begin with a formal theory, corresponding to the case of symmetric functions in an infinite number of independent variables.…
This article studies separating invariants for the ring of multisymmetric polynomials in $m$ sets of $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that in order to obtain separating sets it is enough to consider polynomials…
We consider two natural gradings on the space of symmetric functions: by degree and by length. We introduce a differential operator $T$ that leaves the components of this double grading invariant and exhibit a basis of bihomogeneous…
Motivated by applications to stochastic programming, we introduce and study the expected-integral functionals, which are mappings given in an integral form depending on two variables, the first a finite dimensional decision vector and the…
We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and…
We describe a short, reproducible workflow for applying finite differences on nonuniform grids determined by a positive weight function g. The grid is obtained by equidistribution, mapping uniform computational coordinates $\xi\in[0,1]$ to…
The main aim of this paper is twofold: (1) Suggesting a statistical mechanical approach to the calculation of the generating function of restricted integer partition functions which count the number of partitions --- a way of writing an…
We derive an asymptotic formula for $A(n,j,r)$ the number of integer partitions of $n$ into at most $j$ parts each part $\le r$. We assume $j$ and $r$ are near their mean values. We also investigate the second largest part, the number of…
We establish effective elimination theorems for differential-difference equations. Specifically, we find a computable function $B(r,s)$ of the natural number parameters $r$ and $s$ so that for any system of algebraic differential-difference…
Consider a system of n polynomial equations and r polynomial inequations in n indeterminates of degree bounded by d with coefficients in a polynomial ring of s parameters with rational coefficients of bit-size at most $\sigma$. From the…
The symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ acts on the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Q}[\mathbf{x}_n] = \mathbb{Q}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ by variable permutation. The invariant ideal $I_n$ is the ideal generated by all $\mathfrak{S}_n$-invariant…
A singular point of a smooth map F: M -> N of manifolds is a point in M at which the rank of the differential dF is less than the minimum of dimensions of M and N. The classical invariant of the set S of singular points of F of a given type…
We propose two novel unbiased estimators of the integral $\int_{[0,1]^{s}}f(u) du$ for a function $f$, which depend on a smoothness parameter $r\in\mathbb{N}$. The first estimator integrates exactly the polynomials of degrees $p<r$ and…
Explicit expressions for restricted partition function $W(s,{\bf d}^m)$ and its quasiperiodic components $W_j(s,{\bf d}^m)$ (called {\em Sylvester waves}) for a set of positive integers ${\bf d}^m = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_m\}$ are derived. The…
We compute the supersymmetric partition function of the six-dimensional $(2,0)$ theory of type $A_{N-1}$ on $S^1 \times S^5$ in the presence of both codimension two and codimension four defects. We concentrate on a limit of the partition…
Second-order superintegrable systems in dimensions two and three are essentially classified. With increasing dimension, however, the non-linear partial differential equations employed in current methods become unmanageable. Here we propose…
We write down an explicit conjecture for the instanton partition functions in 4d N=2 SU(N) gauge theories in the presence of a certain type of surface operator. These surface operators are classified by partitions of N, and for each…
Consider a random polynomial $$ G_Q(x)=\xi_{Q,n}x^n+\xi_{Q,n-1}x^{n-1}+...+\xi_{Q,0} $$ with independent coefficients uniformly distributed on $2Q+1$ integer points $\{-Q, ..., Q\}$. Denote by $D(G_Q)$ the discriminant of $G_Q$. We show…
This is a note for constructing fundamental invariants and computing the Hilbert series of the invariant subalgebras of tensor products of polynomial rings under the action by a direct product of symmetric groups. Our computation relies on…
Let $r\geq 1$ be an integer, $\mathbf a=(a_1,\ldots,a_r)$ a vector of positive integers and let $D\geq 1$ be a common multiple of $a_1,\ldots,a_r$. In a continuation of a previous paper we prove that, if $D=1$ or $D$ is a prime number, the…
