Let $\mathbf{A} = (A_1,\ldots, A_q)$ be a $q$-tuple of finite sets of integers. Associated to every $q$-tuple of nonnegative integers $\mathbf{h} = (h_1,\ldots, h_q)$ is the linear form $\mathbf{h}\cdot \mathbf{A} = h_1 A_1 + \cdots +…
For commuting linear operators $P_0,P_1,..., P_\ell$ we describe a range of conditions which are weaker than invertibility. When any of these conditions hold we may study the composition $P=P_0P_1... P_\ell$ in terms of the component…
Let $S=(s_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence with elements in a commutative monoid $(\mathcal{M},+,0)$. In this paper, we provide an explicit formula for $$\sum_{\la} C(\la) q^{\sum_{n\geq 1} \la_n\cdot s_n}$$ where $\la=(\la_1,\ldots)$ run…
Let $\Gamma_n$, $n \geq 2$, denote the symmetrized polydisc in $\mathbb{C}^n$, and $\Gamma_1$ be the closed unit disc in $\mathbb{C}$. We provide some characterizations of elements in $\Gamma_n$. In particular, an element $(s_1, \ldots,…
Musical chords, harmonies or melodies in Just Intonation have note frequencies which are described by a base frequency multiplied by rational numbers. For any local section, these notes can be converted to some base frequency multiplied by…
Circuits based on sum-product structure have become a ubiquitous representation to compactly encode knowledge, from Boolean functions to probability distributions. By imposing constraints on the structure of such circuits, certain inference…
For a sequence $S$ of terms from an abelian group $G$ of length $|S|$, let $\Sigma_n(S)$ denote the set of all elements that can be represented as the sum of terms in some $n$-term subsequence of $S$. When the subsum set is very small,…
We prove a closed character formula for the symmetric powers $S^N V(\lambda)$ of a fixed irreducible representation $V(\lambda)$ of a complex semi-simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ by means of partial fraction decomposition. The formula…
Building upon Dyson's fundamental 1962 article known in random-matrix theory as 'the threefold way', we classify disordered fermion systems with quadratic Hamiltonians by their unitary and antiunitary symmetries. Important examples are…
We derive the asymptotic formula for $p_n(N,M)$, the number of partitions of integer $n$ with part size at most $N$ and length at most $M$. We consider both $N$ and $M$ are comparable to $\sqrt{n}$. This is an extension of the classical…
Solution and analysis of mathematical programming problems may be simplified when these problems are symmetric under appropriate linear transformations. In particular, a knowledge of the symmetries may help reduce the problem dimension, cut…
Constraint Satisfaction Problems are ubiquitous in fields ranging from the physics of solids to artificial intelligence. In many cases, such systems undergo a transition when the ratio of constraints to variables reaches some value…
We consider colored compositions where only some parts are allowed different colors, depending on their locations in the composition. The counting sequences are obtained through generating functions. Connections to many other combinatorial…
Environments and closures are two of the main ingredients of evaluation in lambda-calculus. A closure is a pair consisting of a lambda-term and an environment, whereas an environment is a list of lambda-terms assigned to free variables. In…
A random composition of $n$ appears when the points of a random closed set $\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}\subset[0,1]$ are used to separate into blocks $n$ points sampled from the uniform distribution. We study the number of parts $K_n$ of this…
We generalize recent work of Andrews, Just, and Simay on modular palindromic compositions and anti-palindromic compositions by viewing all compositions partially (modular) palindromic or anti-palindromic. More precisely, we enumerate…
The minimal excludant of a partition $\lambda$, $\rm{mex}(\lambda)$, is the smallest positive integer that is not a part of $\lambda$. For a positive integer $n$, $ \sigma\, \rm{mex}(n)$ denotes the sum of the minimal excludants of all…
Asymptotic symmetries of electric and magnetic Carrollian gravitational theories with a negative cosmological constant $\Lambda$ are analyzed in 3+1 space-time dimensions. In the magnetic theory, the asymptotic symmetry algebra is given by…
In this expository note, we introduce the reader to compositions of a natural number, e.g., $2+1+2+1+7+1$ is a composition of 14, and $1+2$ and $2+1$ are two different compositions of 3. We discuss some simple restricted forms of…
We consider a type of divided symmetrization $\overrightarrow{D}_{\lambda,G}$ where $\lambda$ is a nonincreasing partition on $n$ and where $G$ is a graph. We discover that in the case where $\lambda$ is a hook shape partition with first…
