An invertible polynomial is a quasihomogeneous polynomial with the number of monomials coinciding with the number of variables and such that the weights of the variables and the quasi-degree are well defined. In the framework of the search…

Recently, Chapoton found a $q$-analog of Ehrhart polynomials, which are polynomials in $x$ whose coefficients are rational functions in $q$. Chapoton conjectured the shape of the Newton polygon of the numerator of the $q$-Ehrhart polynomial…

Inspired by work done for systems of polynomial exponential equations, we study systems of equations involving the modular $j$ function. We show general cases in which these systems have solutions, and then we look at certain situations in…

We give a Littlewood-Richardson type rule for expanding the product of a row-strict quasisymmetric Schur function and a symmetric Schur function in terms of row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions. We then discuss a family of polynomials…

In this paper, we study some symmetric identities of q-Euler numbers and polynomials. From these properties, we derive several identities of q-Euler numbers and polynomials.

Using Schur positivity and the principal specialization of Schur functions, we provide a proof of a recent conjecture of Liu and Wang on the $q$-log-convexity of the Narayana polynomials, and a proof of the second conjecture that the…

The involution Stanley symmetric functions $\hat{F}_y$ are the stable limits of the analogues of Schubert polynomials for the orbits of the orthogonal group in the flag variety. These symmetric functions are also generating functions for…

We prove some Schur positivity results for the chromatic symmetric function $X_G$ of a (hyper)graph $G$, using connections to the group algebra of the symmetric group. The first such connection works for (hyper)forests $F$: we describe the…

In this paper, we investigate the properties of symmetry in two variables related to multiple Euler q-l-function which interpolates higher-order q-Euler polynomials at negative integers. From our investigation, we can derive many…

Let I_{n,k} (resp. J_{n,k}) be the number of involutions (resp. fixed-point free involutions) of {1,...,n} with k descents. Motivated by Brenti's conjecture which states that the sequence I_{n,0}, I_{n,1},..., I_{n,n-1} is log-concave, we…

We introduce two lifts of the dual immaculate quasisymmetric functions to the polynomial ring. We establish positive formulas for expansions of these dual immaculate slide polynomials into the fundamental slide and quasi-key bases for…

The theory of quantum symmetric pairs is applied to $q$-special functions. Previous work shows the existence of a family $\chi$-spherical functions indexed by the integers for each Hermitian quantum symmetric pair. A distinguished family of…

In 1993, Stanley and Stembridge conjectured that a chromatic symmetric function of any $(3+1)$-free poset is $e$-positive. Guay-Paquet reduced the conjecture to $(3+1)$- and $(2+2)$-free posets which are also called natural unit interval…

Employing the $q$-Lucas theorem and some known $q$-supercongruences, we give some Dwork-type $q$-congruences, confirming three conjectures in [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A 178 (2021), Art.~105362]. As conclusions, we obtain the following…

It follows from work of Chung and Graham that for a certain family of polynomials $T_{n}(x)$, derived from the descent statistic on permutations, the coefficient sequence of $T_{n-1}(x)$ coincides with that of the polynomial…

We establish explicit isomorphisms of two seemingly-different algebras, and their Schur algebras, arising from the centralizers of two different type B Weyl group actions in Schur-like dualities. We provide a presentation of the geometric…
