A factorisation problem in the symmetric group is central if conjugate permutations always have the same number of factorisations. We give the first fully combinatorial proof of the centrality of transitive star factorisations that is valid…
A factorization of a permutation into transpositions is called "primitive" if its factors are weakly ordered. We discuss the problem of enumerating primitive factorizations of permutations, and its place in the hierarchy of previously…
Although powers of the Young-Jucys-Murphya elements X_i = (1 i) + ... +(i-1 i), i = 1, ..., n, in the symmetric group S_n acting on {1, ...,n} do not lie in the centre of the group algebra of S_n, we show that transitive powers, namely the…
In this paper, we study the relationship between polynomial integrals on the unitary group and the conjugacy class expansion of symmetric functions in Jucys-Murphy elements. Our main result is an explicit formula for the top coefficients in…
We give a new presentation for the partition algebras. This presentation was discovered in the course of establishing an inductive formula for the partition algebra Jucys-Murphy elements defined by Halverson and Ram [European J. Combin. 26…
Many aspects of the asymptotics of Plancherel distributed partitions have been studied in the past fifty years, in particular the limit shape, the distribution of the longest rows, connections with random matrix theory and characters of the…
In this paper we will give a similar factorization as in \cite{4}, \cite{5}, where the autors Svrtan and Meljanac examined certain matrix factorizations on Fock-like representation of a multiparametric quon algebra on the free associative…
Consider the elements of the group algebra CS_{n} given by R_{j}=Sigma_{i=1}^{j-1}(ij), for 2<=j<=n. Jucys [3 - 5] and Murphy[7] showed that these elements act diagonally on elements of S_{n} and gave explicit formulas for the diagonal…
We study a commuting family of elements of the walled Brauer algebra $B_{r,s}(\delta)$, called the Jucys-Murphy elements, and show that the supersymmetric polynomials in these elements belong to the center of the walled Brauer algebra. When…
We study symmetric polynomials whose variables are odd-numbered Jucys-Murphy elements. They define elements of the Hecke algebra associated to the Gelfand pair of the symmetric group with the hyperoctahedral group. We evaluate their…
The problem of computing the class expansion of some symmetric functions evaluated in Jucys-Murphy elements appears in different contexts, for instance in the computation of matrix integrals. Recently, M. Lassalle gave a unified algebraic…
We consider a family of card shuffles of $n$ cards in which the allowed moves involve transpositions corresponding to the Jucys--Murphy elements of the symmetric group $\{S_m\}_{m \leq n}$. We determine the eigenvalues of the corresponding…
Permutation invariant polynomial functions of matrices have previously been studied as the observables in matrix models invariant under $S_N$, the symmetric group of all permutations of $N$ objects. In this paper, the permutation invariant…
The number of minimal transitive star factorizations of a permutation was shown by Irving and Rattan to depend only on the conjugacy class of the permutation, a surprising result given that the pivot plays a very particular role in such…
Permutation Matrices are a well known class of matrices which encode the elements of the symmetric group on $d$ elements as a square $d\times d$ matrix. Motivated by [4], we define a similar class of matrices which are a generalization of…
In 2001 Ivanov and Kerov associated with the infinite permutation group $S_\infty$ certain commutative associative algebra $A_\infty$ called the algebra of conjugacy classes of partial elements. A standard basis of $A_\infty$ is labeled by…
We use the Jucys-Murphy elements to construct a complete set of primitive idempotents for the Sergeev superalgebra ${\mathcal S}_n$. We produce seminormal forms for the simple modules over ${\mathcal S}_n$ and over the spin symmetric group…
The present work is inspired by three interrelated themes: Weingarten calculus for integration over unitary groups, monotone Hurwitz numbers which enumerate certain factorisations of permutations into transpositions, and Jucys-Murphy…
We give a simple construction of Markov traces for Iwahori-Hecke algebras associated with infinite series of crystallographic Coxeter groups. In types B and D it is new, and generalizes a known construction in type A employing symmetric…
An inductive approach to the representation theory of cyclotomic Hecke algebras, inspired by Okounkov and Vershik, is developed. We study the common spectrum of the Jucys-Murphy elements using representations of the simplest affine Hecke…
