Let $\Rx$ denote the ring of polynomials in $g$ freely non-commuting variables $x=(x_1,...,x_g)$. There is a natural involution * on $\Rx$ determined by $x_j^*=x_j$ and $(pq)^*=q^* p^*$ and a free polynomial $p\in\Rx$ is symmetric if it is…
In this paper, we prove several stability theorems for multiplicities of naturally defined representations of symmetric groups. The first such theorem states that if we consider the diagonal action of the symmetric group $S_{m+r}$ on $k$…
In this paper we present the definition of quasi-bases for modules over a ring that is commutative but not necessarily division and discuss properties that guarantee the existence of quasi-bases. Based on this result we further prove that…
Consider the ring $\mathcal{S}$ of symmetric polynomials in $k$ variables over an arbitrary base ring $\mathbf{k}$. Fix $k$ scalars $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{k}\in\mathbf{k}$. Let $I$ be the ideal of $\mathcal{S}$ generated by…
We present an outline of the theory of universal Teichmuller space, viewed as part of the theory of QS, the space of quasisymmetric homeomorphisms of a circle. Although elements of QS act in one dimension, most results depend on a…
We show that there exists a stably free module over a polynomial ring which is not extended from the ground ring. This provides a counterexample to the Hermite ring conjecture.
We introduce a definition of ``equivariant quasisymmetry'' for polynomials in two sets of variables. Using this definition we define quasisymmetric generalizations of the theory of double Schur and double Schubert polynomials that we call…
Let $K$ be a field and let $\mathbb N = \{1,2, \dots \}$. Let $R_n=K[x_{ij} \mid 1\le i\le n, j\in \mathbb N]$ be the ring of polynomials in $x_{ij}$ $(1 \le i \le n, j \in \mathbb N)$ over $K$. Let $S_n = Sym (\{1,2, \ldots, n \})$ and…
The moduli space of planar polygons with generic side lengths is a closed, smooth manifold. Mapping a polygon to its reflected image across the $X$-axis defines a fixed-point-free involution on these moduli spaces, making them into free…
In this paper we discuss symmetrically self-dual spaces, which are simply real vector spaces with a symmetric bilinear form. Certain subsets of the space will be called q-positive, where q is the quadratic form induced by the original…
In this paper, a new $q$-supercongruence with two free parameters modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial is obtained. Our main auxiliary tools are Watson's $_8\phi_7$ transformation formula for basic hypergeometric series, the…
We associate a polynomial to any diagram of unit cells in the first quadrant of the plane using Kohnert's algorithm for moving cells down. In this way, for every weak composition one can choose a cell diagram with corresponding row-counts,…
We present a variant of the Peskine--Szpiro Acyclicity Lemma, and hence a way to certify exactness of a complex of finite modules over a large class of (possibly) noncommutative rings. Specifically, over the class of Auslander regular…
In 2004, Choe, Oxley, Sokal and Wagner established a tight connection between matroids and multiaffine real stable polynomials. Recently, Branden used this theory and a polynomial coming from the Vamos matroid to disprove the generalized…
The quasisymmetic Macdonald polynomials $G_{\gamma}(X; q, t)$ were recently introduced by the first and second authors with Haglund, Mason, and Williams in [3] to refine the symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_{\lambda}(X; q, t)$ with the…
We investigate the existence of equivalent p-norms, 0< p 1, under which conditional symmetric or spreading bases in quasi-Banach spaces become isometric. For spreading bases (which need not be unconditional or even Schauder bases), we…
The space $QSym_n(B)$ of $B$-quasisymmetric polynomials in 2 sets of $n$ variables was recently studied by Baumann and Hohlweg. The aim of this work is a study of the ideal $<QSym_n(B)^+>$ generated by $B$-quasisymmetric polynomials without…
We consider quasi-polynomial spaces of differential forms defined as weighted (with a positive weight) spaces of differential forms with polynomial coefficients. We show that the unisolvent set of functionals for such spaces on a simplex in…
We study quasifinite highest weight modules over the supersymmetric extension of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra on the basis of the analysis by Kac and Radul. We find that the quasifiniteness of the modules is again characterized by…
The concept of supersymmetry in a quantum mechanical system is extended, permitting the recognition of many more supersymmetric systems, including very familiar ones such as the free particle. Its spectrum is shown to be supersymmetric,…
