A well-known representation-theoretic model for the transformed Macdonald polynomial $\widetilde{H}_\mu(Z;t,q)$, where $\mu$ is an integer partition, is given by the Garsia-Haiman module $\mathcal{H}_\mu$. We study the $\frac{n!}{k}$…

The Garsia--Haiman module is a bigraded $\mathfrak{S}_n$-module whose Frobenius image is a Macdonald polynomial. The method of orbit harmonics promotes an $\mathfrak{S}_n$-set $X$ to a graded polynomial ring. The orbit harmonics can be…

The "n! conjecture" of Garsia and Haiman has inspired mathematicians for nearly two decades, even after Haiman published a proof in 2001. Kumar and Funch Thomsen proved in 2003 that in order to prove the conjecture for all partitions, it…

This work studies the remarkable relationships that hold among certain m-tuples of the Garsia-Haiman modules $ {\bf M}_\mu$ and corresponding elements of the Macdonald basis. We recall that ${\bf M}_\mu$ is defined for a partition $\mu\part…

Garsia-Haiman modules are quotient rings in variables X_n={x_1, x_2, ..., x_n} and Y_n=y_1, y_2, ..., y_n} that generalize the quotient ring C[X_n]/I, where I is the ideal generated by the elementary symmetric polynomials e_j(X_n) for 1 <=…

It is shown that the reduced particle dynamics of 2+1 dimensional gravity in the maximally slicing gauge has hamiltonian form. This is proved directly for the two body problem and for the three body problem by using the Garnier equations…

In the early 2000's the first and second named authors worked for a period of six years in an attempt of proving the Compositional Shuffle Conjecture [1]. Their approach was based on the discovery that all the Combinatorial properties…

We relate the n! conjecture (by Garsia and Haiman) to the geometry of principal nilpotent pairs, and state a conjecture generalizing the n! conjecture to arbitrary semisimple algebraic groups. We also show, using Borel's fixed point…

We study the isospectral Hilbert scheme X_n, defined as the reduced fiber product of C^2n with the Hilbert scheme H_n of points in the plane, over the symmetric power S^n C^2. We prove that X_n is normal, Cohen-Macaulay, and Gorenstein, and…

We give a proof of the $A_2$ conjecture in geometrically doubling metric spaces (GDMS), i.e. a metric space where one can fit not more than a fixed amount of disjoint balls of radius $r$ in a ball of radius $2r$. Our proof consists of three…

We assign to each Young diagram $\lambda$ a subset $\mathcal{B}_{\lambda'}$ of the collection of Garsia-Stanton descent monomials, and prove that it determines a basis of the Garsia-Procesi module $R_\lambda$, whose graded character is the…

We prove that the subset of quasisymmetric polynomials conjectured by Bergeron and Reutenauer to be a basis for the coinvariant space of quasisymmetric polynomials is indeed a basis. This provides the first constructive proof of the…

In this article, we present what we believe to be a simple way to motivate the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics. To achieve this, we study the way the notion of dimension can, at a very primitive level, be defined as the…

A dual formulation of the S Matrix for N=4 SYM has recently been presented, where all leading singularities of n-particle N^{k-2}MHV amplitudes are given as an integral over the Grassmannian G(k,n), with cyclic symmetry, parity and…

The purpose of this paper is to find a new way to prove the $n!$ conjecture for particular partitions. The idea is to construct a monomial and explicit basis for the space $M_{\mu}$. We succeed completely for hook-shaped partitions, i.e.,…

Major Percy A. MacMahon's first paper on plane partitions included a conjectured generating function for symmetric plane partitions. This conjecture was proven almost simultaneously by George Andrews and Ian Macdonald, Andrews using the…

A summary is given of some results and perspectives of the hamiltonian ADM approach to 2+1 dimensional gravity. After recalling the classical results for closed universes in absence of matter we go over the the case in which matter is…

We introduce bi-galileon theory, the generalisation of the single galileon model introduced by Nicolis et al. The theory contains two coupled scalar fields and is described by a Lagrangian that is invariant under Galilean shifts in those…

We present a highly simplified model of the dynamical structure of a disk galaxy where only two parmeters fully determine the solution, mass and angular momentum. We show through simple physical scalings that once the mass has been fixed,…

The modified Macdonald polynomials introduced by Garsia and Haiman (1996) have many remarkable combinatorial properties. One such class of properties involves applying the $\nabla$ operator of Bergeron and Garsia (1999) to basic symmetric…
