We show that if the fundamental group of the complement of a rationally homologically fibered knot in a rational homology 3-sphere is bi-orderable, then its Alexander polynomial has at least one positive real root. Our argument can be…
We introduce families of rational functions that are biorthogonal with respect to the $q$-hypergeometric distribution. A triplet of $q$-difference operators $X$, $Y$, $Z$ is shown to play a role analogous to the pair of bispectral operators…
We determine the Newton trees of the rational polynomials of simple type, thus filling a gap in the proof of the classification of these polynomials given by Neumann and Norbury.
The colored HOMFLY polynomials, which describe Wilson loop averages in Chern-Simons theory, possess an especially simple representation for torus knots, which begins from quantum R-matrix and ends up with a trivially-looking split W…
We define a HOMFLY version of the category $\text{Rep}_q\text{P}$ of quantum representations of a parabolic subgroup $\text{P}\subseteq\text{GL}_{m+n}$ of block triangular matrices. Alongside this category, we construct functors that…
The HOMFLY-PT polynomial is a link invariant which is effective in determining chiral knot and link types with small crossing numbers. In this chapter, we concentrate on knots. We provide a guide for computing the knot types of…
In a recent paper, Cristofaro-Gardiner--Li--Stanley [CGLS15] constructed examples of irrational triangles whose Ehrhart functions (i.e. lattice-point count) are polynomials when restricted to positive integer dilation factors. This is very…
We study a wide range of homologically-defined representations of surface braid groups and of mapping class groups of surfaces, including the Lawrence-Bigelow representations of the classical braid groups. These representations naturally…
We consider multiple orthogonal polynomials corresponding to two Macdonald functions (modified Bessel functions of the second kind), with emphasis on the polynomials on the diagonal of the Hermite-Pad\'e table. We give some properties of…
Ordinary orthogonal polynomials are uniquely characterized by the three term recurrence relations up to an overall multiplicative constant. We show that the newly discovered M-indexed orthogonal polynomials satisfy 3+2M term recurrence…
We investigate the symmetric Dunkl-classical orthogonal polynomials by using a new approach applied in connection with the Dunkl operator. The main aim of this technique is to determine the recurrence coefficients first and foremost. We…
The reductive holonomy algebras for a torsion-free affine connection are analysed, with the goal of establishing which ones can correspond to a Ricci-flat connection with the same properties. Various families of holonomies are eliminated…
We begin by considering faithful matrix representations of elementary abelian groups in prime characteristic. The representations considered are seen to be determined up to change of bases by a single number. Studying this number leads to a…
Macdonald polynomials are orthogonal polynomials associated to root systems, and in the type A case, the symmetric kind is a common generalization of Schur functions, Macdonald spherical functions, and Jack polynomials. We use the…
Consider an abstract operator $L$ which acts on monomials $x^n$ according to $L x^n= \lambda_n x^n + \nu_n x^{n-2}$ for $\lambda_n$ and $\nu_n$ some coefficients. Let $P_n(x)$ be eigenpolynomials of degree $n$ of $L$: $L P_n(x) = \lambda_n…
The Magnus expansion is a universal finite type invariant of pure braids with values in the space of horizontal chord diagrams. The Conway polynomial composed with the short circuit map from braids to knots gives rise to a series of finite…
Farey sequences, Stern-Brocot sequences, the Calkin-Wilf sequences are shown to be generated via almost identical second order recurrence relations. These sequences have combinatorial, computational, and geometric applications, and are…
In this paper, we study the quantum $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ representation category using the web space. Specially, we extend $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$ web space for $n\ge 4$ as generalized Temperley-Lieb algebras. As an application of our study, we…
In this study, the new algebraic properties related to bivariate Fibonacci polynomials has been given. We present the partial derivatives of these polynomials in the form of convolution of bivariate Fibonacci polynomials. Also, we define a…
It's the age-old recurrence with a twist: sum the last two terms and if the result is composite, divide by its smallest prime divisor to get the next term (e.g., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 3, 7, ...). These sequences exhibit pseudo-random…
