Given a degree 1 function $F\in\mathcal{S}^{\sharp}$ and a real number $\alpha$, we consider the linear twist $F(s,\alpha)$, proving that it satisfies a functional equation reflecting $s$ into $1-s$, which can be seen as a Hurwitz-Lerch…
Multi-Schur functions are symmetric functions that generalize the supersymmetric Schur functions, the flagged Schur functions, and the refined dual Grothendieck functions, which have been intensively studied by Lascoux. In this paper, we…
We say a sequence $f_0, f_1, f_2, \ldots$ of symmetric functions is Schur log-concave if $f_n^2 - f_{n-1}f_{n+1}$ is Schur positive for all $n\ge1$. We conjecture that a very general class of sequences of Schur functions satisfies this…
In this paper we consider the probability distribution function of a Gibbs measure supported on a self-conformal set given by an iterated function system (devil's staircase). We use thermodynamic multifractal formalism to calculate the…
Like the LR-tableau, a socle tableau is given as a skew diagram with certain entries. Unlike in the LR-tableau, the entries in the socle tableau are weakly increasing in each row, strictly increasing in each column and satisfy a modified…
We classify and construct all multiplicity-free plethystic products of Schur functions. We also compute many new (infinite) families of plethysm coefficients, with particular emphasis on those near maximal in the dominance ordering and…
We study a linear map on symmetric functions that ``divides'' a partition by a positive integer $k$, sending a Schur function indexed by a partition of $kn$ to a symmetric function indexed by partitions of $n$. We determine its Schur…
Given a positive integer $n$ and a partitioning $n=r_1s_1+\dots+ r_ts_t$, $t,r_i,s_i$ positive integers, such that $r_1>\dots>r_t$ (for $t\ge 2$), we can write $n$ symbols $1,\dots,n$ in the form of a staircase matrix having $r_1$ rows…
We provide a categorical interpretation of a well-known identity from linear algebra as an isomorphism of certain functors between triangulated categories arising from finite dimensional algebras. As a consequence, we deduce that the Serre…
We introduce several highness notions on degrees related to the problem of computing isomorphisms between structures, provided that isomorphisms exist. We consider variants along axes of uniformity, inclusion of negative information, and…
Snake graphs are a class of planar graphs that are important in the theory of cluster algebras. Indeed, the Laurent expansions of the cluster variables in cluster algebras from surfaces are given as weight generating functions for 1-dimer…
A set of functions is defined which is indexed by a positive integer $n$ and partitions of integers. The case $n=1$ reproduces the standard Schur polynomials. These functions are seen to arise naturally as a determinant of an action on the…
Analytical expressions are derived for the number of fractions with equal numerators in the Farey sequence of order $n$, $F_n$, and in the truncated Farey sequence $F_n^{1/k}$ containing all Farey fractions below $1/k$, with $1\leq k \leq…
We consider Schur function expansion for the partition function of the model of normal matrices. We show that this expansion coincides with Takasaki expansion \cite{Tinit} for tau functions of Toda lattice hierarchy. We show that the…
Let G be a block matrix function with one diagonal block A being positive definite and the off diagonal blocks complex conjugates of each other. Conditions are obtained for G to be factorable (in particular, with zero partial indices) in…
Dimensions of level sets of generic continuous functions and generic H\"older functions defined on a fractal $F$ encode information about the geometry, ``the thickness" of $F$. While in the continuous case this quantity is related to a…
Using fractional calculus we define integrals of the form $% \int_{a}^{b}f(x_{t})dy_{t}$, where $x$ and $y$ are vector-valued H\"{o}lder continuous functions of order $\displaystyle \beta \in (\frac13, \frac12)$ and $f$ is a continuously…
We study the statistics of column-convex lattice animals resulting from the stacking of squares on a single or double staircase. We obtain exact expressions for the number of animals with a given length and area, their mean length and their…
In this article, associated to a (bordered) Legendrian graph, we study and show the equivalence between two categorical Legendrian isotopy invariants: the augmentation category, a unital $A_{\infty}$-category, which lifts the set of…
We construct the ($\beta$-deformed) partition function hierarchies with $W$-representations. Based on the $W$-representations, we analyze the superintegrability property and derive their character expansions with respect to the Schur…
