We describe a new formula for weight multiplicities and characters of semisimple Lie algebras. Our formula expresses these weight multiplicities as sums of positive rational numbers. In fact, the formula works more generally for the Jacobi…

The representation theory of the symmetric groups S_n is intimately related to combinatorics: combinatorial objects such as Young tableaux and combinatorial algorithms such as Murnaghan-Nakayama rule. In the limit as n tends to infinity,…

We prove a previously conjectured closed form formula for the norm of the Jack polynomials in superspace with respect to a certain scalar product. The proof is mainly combinatorial and relies on the explicit expression in terms of…

Non-Hermitian random matrices with symplectic symmetry provide examples for Pfaffian point processes in the complex plane. These point processes are characterised by a matrix valued kernel of skew-orthogonal polynomials. We develop their…

Kostka-Foulkes polynomials are Lusztig's $q$-analogues of weight multiplicities for irreducible representations of semisimple Lie algebras. It has long been known that these polynomials have non-negative coefficients. A statistic on…

A skew polynomial ring $R=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is a ring of polynomials with non-commutative multiplication. This creates a difference between left and right divisibility, and thus a concept of left and right evaluations and roots. A…

Let $\hat{A}_n$ be the completion by the degree of a differential operator of the $n$-th Weyl algebra with generators $x_1,\ldots,x_n,\partial^1,\ldots,\partial^n$. Consider $n$ elements $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ in $\hat{A}_n$ of the form $$ X_i =…

Given a polynomial $g$ of positive degree over a finite field, we show that the proportion of polynomials of degree $n$, which can be written as $h+g^k$, where $h$ is an irreducible polynomial of degree $n$ and $k$ is a nonnegative integer,…

We study piecewise polynomial functions $\gamma_k(c)$ that appear in the asymptotics of averages of the divisor sum in short intervals. Specifically, we express these polynomials as the inverse Fourier transform of a Hankel determinant that…

An asymptotic formula is proved for the k-fold divisor function averaged over homogeneous polynomials of degree k in k-1 variables coming from incomplete norm forms.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $f \in R[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ a multivariate polynomial, and $G$ a finite subgroup of the group of units of $R$ satisfying a certain constraint, which always holds if $R$ is a field. Then, we evaluate $\sum…

For any two involutions y,w in a Weyl group (y\le w), let P_{y,w} be the polynomial defined in [KL]. In this paper we define a new polynomial P^\sigma_{y,w} whose i-th coefficient is a_i-b_i where the i-th coefficient of P_{y,w} is a_i+b_i…

In this paper, we get several new results on permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, by using the linear translator, we construct permutation polynomials of the forms $L(x)+\sum_{j=1}^k \gamma_jh_j(f_j(x))$ and…

Let K be the product O(n_1) x O(n_2) x ... x O(n_r) of orthogonal groups. Let V the r-fold tensor product of defining representations of each orthogonal factor. We compute a stable formula for the dimension of the K-invariant algebra of…

This paper introduces an analogue of the Solomon descent algebra for the complex reflection groups of type $G(r,1,n)$. As with the Solomon descent algebra, our algebra has a basis given by sums of `distinguished' coset representatives for…

The super-Jack polynomials, introduced by Kerov, Okounkov and Olshanski, are polynomials in $n+m$ variables, which reduce to the Jack polynomials when $n=0$ or $m=0$ and provide joint eigenfunctions of the quantum integrals of the…

We define a special sort of weighted oriented graphs, signed quivers. Each of these yields a symmetric quiver, i.e., a quiver endowed with an involutive anti-automorphism and the inherited signs. We develop a representation theory of…

In this paper, we propose an algebraic approach to determine whether two non-isomorphic caterpillar trees can have the same symmetric function generalization of the chromatic polynomial. On the set of all composition on integers, we…

A codeword is associated to a linearized polynomial. The weight distribution of the codewords is determined as the linearized polynomial varies in a family of fixed degree. There is a corresponding result on Wenger graphs from linearized…
