We study the $t$-Schur measure on partitions, defined by $ \mathbb{P}(\lambda)=Z^{-1}S_\lambda(x;t)s_\lambda(y) $, where $S_\lambda(x;t)$ denotes the $t$-Schur symmetric functions and $s_\lambda(y)$ the ordinary Schur functions, and $Z$ is…

We investigate the relationship between the maximum of the zeta function on the 1-line and the maximal order of $S(t)$, the error term in the number of zeros up to height $t$. We show that the conjectured upper bounds on $S(t)$ along with…

The Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ has the property that it can explicitly be expressed in terms of $\Lambda$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the unit ball, as…

Given a subset $S\subseteq\mathbb{P}$, let $\Pa(S;n)$ be the number of permutations in the symmetric group of ${1,2,...,n}$ that have peak set $S$. We prove a recent conjecture due to Billey, Burdzy and Sagan, which determines the sets that…

Can there be a `Litmus test' for determining the nature of transition in models of percolation? In this paper we argue that the answer is in the affirmative. All one needs to do is to measure the `growth exponent' $\chi$ of the largest…

We consider Lipschitz maps with values in quasi-metric spaces and extend such maps to finitely many points. We prove that in this context every 1-Lipschitz map admits an extension such that its Lipschitz constant is bounded from above by…

The graph of zigzag diagrams is a close relative of Young's lattice. The boundary problem for this graph amounts to describing coherent random permutations with descent-set statistic, and is also related to certain positive characters on…

Denote by $u(n)$ the largest principal specialization of the Schubert polynomial: $ u(n) := \max_{w \in S_n} \mathfrak{S}_w(1,\ldots,1) $ Stanley conjectured in [arXiv:1704.00851] that there is a limit $\lim_{n\to \infty} \, \frac{1}{n^2}…

Let $g(k)$ be the maximum size of a planar set that determines at most $k$ distances. We prove $$\frac{\pi}{3\,C(\Lambda_{hex})}\ k\sqrt{\log k} (1+o(1)) \le g(k) \le C k\log k,$$ so $g(k) \asymp k\sqrt{\log k}$ with an explicit constant…

We define eventually symmetric functions to be those power series of bounded degree in infinitely many variables that are invariant under interchanging all the variables with large enough indices. We show how this ring $\tilde{\Lambda}$ is…

Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…

The approximation constant $\lambda_{k}(\zeta)$ is defined as the supremum of real $\eta$ such that $\Vert \zeta^{j}x\Vert\leq x^{-\eta}$ for $1\leq j\leq k$ has infinitely many integer solutions $x$. Here $\Vert.\Vert$ denotes the distance…

We describe algorithms for finding the regression of t, a sequence of values, to the closest sequence s by mean squared error, so that s is always increasing (isotonicity) and so the values of two consecutive points do not increase by too…

Let $L=-\Delta +|x|^2$ be the Hermite operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $T$ be a Calder\'on-Zygmund type operator that is modelled on certain singular integrals related to $L$. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for $T$ to be…

For each integer k >= 2, let F(k) denote the largest n for which there exists a permutation \sigma \in S_n, all of whose patterns of length k are distinct. We prove that F(k) = k + \lfloor \sqrt{2k-3} \rfloor + e_k, where e_k \in {-1,0} for…

A classical bijection relates certain Kostka numbers, the Catalan numbers, and permutations of length $n$ with longest increasing subsequence (LIS) of length at most $2.$ We generalize this bijection and find Kostka numbers which count the…

In this note, we explicitly compute the probability that a given cell in a random standard Young tableau of the shifted staircase shape $(2n-1, 2n-3, \ldots, 3,1)$ contains the maximal label. We also show that the asymptotic distribution of…

In this paper we are interested in the inverse problem of recovering a compact supported function from its truncated Fourier transform. We derive new Lipschitz stability estimates for the inversion in terms of the truncation parameter. The…

Let n geq 1, let lambda be a partition of n, let mu be a partition arising from lambda by a downwards shift of two boxes situated at the bottom of a column. We give a formula for a ZS_n-linear morphism of order m between the corresponding…

A PSCA$(v, t, \lambda)$ is a multiset of permutations of the $v$-element alphabet $\{0, \dots, v-1\}$ such that every sequence of $t$ distinct elements of the alphabet appears in the specified order in exactly $\lambda$ of the permutations.…
