Cylindric Schur functions are a family of symmetric functions that generalize skew Schur functions. We give a short proof that skew cylindric Schur functions expand positively in terms of non-skew cylindric Schur functions. In particular,…

This is a short note about Schur positivity. We introduce Schur polynomials and explain how they appear in the representation theory of the general linear group. We end with a new result of the author with F. Bergeron and V. Reiner that…

We introduce a class of Schur type functions associated with polynomial sequences of binomial type. This can be regarded as a generalization of the ordinary Schur functions and the factorial Schur functions. This generalization satisfies…

We generalize our puzzle formula for ordinary Schubert calculus on Grassmannians, to a formula for the T-equivariant Schubert calculus. The structure constants to be calculated are polynomials in {y_{i+1} - y_i}; they were shown…

We make a broad conjecture about the $k$-Schur positivity of Catalan functions, symmetric functions which generalize the (parabolic) Hall-Littlewood polynomials. We resolve the conjecture with positive combinatorial formulas in cases which…

Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are a family of subvarieties of the flag variety that arise in number theory, numerical analysis, representation theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. We give a "Giambelli formula" expressing…

We give combinatorial proofs that certain families of differences of products of Schur functions are monomial-positive. We show in addition that such monomial-positivity is to be expected of a large class of generating functions with…

We give a type free formula for the expansion of k-Schur functions indexed by fundamental coweights within the affine nilCoxeter algebra. Explicit combinatorics are developed in affine type C.

We study Frobenius-Schur indicators of the regular representations of finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebras, especially group-theoretical ones. Those of various Hopf algebras are computed explicitly. In view of our computational…

We prove that the $K$-$k$-Schur functions are part of a family of inhomogenous symmetric functions whose top homogeneous components are Catalan functions, the Euler characteristics of certain vector bundles on the flag variety.…

In this work, we introduce a new class of algebras called skew-Brauer graph algebras, which generalize the well-known Brauer graph algebras. We establish that skew-Brauer graph algebras are symmetric and can be defined using a Brauer graph…

The Euler characteristic of a very affine variety encodes the algebraic complexity of solving likelihood (or scattering) equations on this variety. We study this quantity for the Grassmannian with $d$ hyperplane sections removed. We provide…

Let $k$ be a field. In this paper, we introduce the notions of $\textit{reduction order}$ and $\textit{reduction-factorization}$ on words, and use them to show that any right or left Noetherian pointed Hopf algebra over $k$ is affine. This…

We prove in type A a conjecture which describes the ideal of transversal slices to spherical Schubert varieties in the affine Grassmannian. As a corollary, we prove a modular description (due to Finkelberg-Mirkovi\'c) of the spherical…

The machinery of noncommutative Schur functions provides a general tool for obtaining Schur expansions for combinatorially defined symmetric functions. We extend this approach to a wider class of symmetric functions, explore its strengths…

It is a classical fundamental result that Schur-positive specializations of the ring of symmetric functions are characterized via totally positive functions whose parametrization describes the Edrei-Thoma theorem. In this paper we study…

In this paper we classify when (row-strict) dual immaculate functions and (row-strict) extended Schur functions, as well as their skew generalizations, are symmetric. We also classify when their natural variants, termed advanced functions,…

We study torus-equivariant algebraic $K$-theory of affine Schubert varieties in the perfect affine Grassmannians over $\mathbb{F}_p$. We further compare it to the torus-equivariant Hochschild homology of perfect complexes, which has a…

Schubert polynomials are a basis for the polynomial ring that represent Schubert classes for the flag manifold. In this paper, we introduce and develop several new combinatorial models for Schubert polynomials that relate them to other…

The classification of affine prime regular Hopf algebras of GK-dimension one is completed. As consequences, 1) we give a negative answer to an open question posed by Brown-Zhang and 2) we show that there do exist prime regular Hopf algebras…
