For all integers $k,d$ such that $k \geq 3$ and $k/2\leq d \leq k-1$, let $n$ be a sufficiently large integer {\rm(}which may not be divisible by $k${\rm)} and let $s\le \lfloor n/k\rfloor-1$. We show that if $H$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph…

We determine the explicit formulas for the sum of products of homogeneous multiple harmonic sums $\sum_{k=1}^n \prod_{j=1}^r H_k(\{1\}^{\lambda_j})$ when $\sum_{j=1}^r \lambda_j\leq 5$. We apply these identities to the study of two…

In 1991, Yannakakis (J. Comput. System Sci., 1991) proved that no symmetric extended formulation for the matching polytope of the complete graph K_n with n nodes has a number of variables and constraints that is bounded subexponentially in…

Let $X$ be a complex quasi-projective algebraic variety. In this paper we study the mixed Hodge structures of the symmetric products $Sym^{n}X$ when the cohomology of $X$ is given by exterior products of cohomology classes with odd degree.…

We introduce an algorithm to decompose orthogonal matrix representations of the symmetric group over the reals into irreducible representations, which as a by-product also computes the multiplicities of the irreducible representations. The…

We investigate the structure and properties of an Artinian monomial complete intersection quotient $A(n,d)=\mathbf{k} [x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n}] \big / (x_{1}^{d}, \ldots, x_{n}^d)$. We construct explicit homogeneous bases of $A(n,d)$ that are…

Given a set of inequalities determined by homogeneous forms, the following intertwined results are established: (1) the volume of the real semi-algebraic domain determined by these inequalities is explicitly determined; it is shown to be…

We show that for every homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$, if it has determinantal complexity at most $s$, then it can be computed by a homogeneous algebraic branching program (ABP) of size at most $O(d^5s)$. Moreover, we show that for…

Inequalities among symmetric polynomial functions are fundamental questions in mathematics and have various applications in science and engineering. This paper investigates a beautiful and inspiring conjecture, proposed by Cuttler, Greene…

Let $H_n(t)$ denote the classical Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomial, and let $\tH_n(t_1, \ldots, t_l)$ denote the homogeneous Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomial in $l$ variables, with indeterminate $q$. There is a classical product formula for…

Elementary symmetric polynomials $S_n^k$ are used as a benchmark for the bounded-depth arithmetic circuit model of computation. In this work we prove that $S_n^k$ modulo composite numbers $m=p_1p_2$ can be computed with much fewer…

The two subjects in the title are related via the specialization of symmetric polynomials at roots of unity. Let $f(z_1,\ldots,z_n)\in\mathbb{Z}[z_1,\ldots,z_n]$ be a symmetric polynomial with integer coefficients and let $\omega$ be a…

We give several new lower bounds on size of homogeneous non-commutative circuits. We present an explicit homogeneous bivariate polynomial of degree $d$ which requires homogeneous non-commutative circuit of size $\Omega(d/\log d)$. For an…

We extend the well known theory of $s$-numbers of linear operators to homogeneous polynomials defined between Banach spaces. Approximation, Kolmogorov and Gelfand numbers of polynomials are introduced and some well-known results of the…

We consider the asymptotics of $k$-dimensional spherical integrals when $k = o(N)$. We prove that the $o(N)$-dimensional spherical integrals are approximately the products of $1$-dimensional spherical integrals. Our formulas extend the…

It is an open problem to determine the dimension of the space of homogeneous polynomials of a fixed degree vanishing at finitely many points in the projective plane to certain multiplicities. We present various aspects of this problem and a…

It is known that the elementary symmetric polynomials $e_k(x)$ have the property that if $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and $e_k(x) \leq e_k(y)$ for all $k$, then $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for all real $0\leq p \leq 1$, and moreover $||x||_p \geq…

There is considered the problem of describing up to linear conformal equivalence those harmonic cubic homogeneous polynomials for which the squared-norm of the Hessian is a nonzero multiple of the quadratic form defining the Euclidean…

Given a multi-variable polynomial, there is an associated divided symmetrization (in particular turning it into a symmetric function). Postinkov has found the volume of a permutohedron as a divided symmetrization (DS) of the power of a…

We show that a $d$-dimensional polyhedron $S$ in $\real^d$ can be represented by $d$-polynomial inequalities, that is, $S = \{x \in \real^d : p_0(x) \ge 0, >..., p_{d-1}(x) \ge 0 \}$, where $p_0,...,p_{d-1}$ are appropriate polynomials.…
