We show that if a permutation statistic can be written as a linear combination of bivincular patterns, then its moments can be expressed as a linear combination of factorials with constant coefficients. This generalizes a result of…

Koopman operator theory is shown to be directly related to the renormalization group. This observation allows us, with no assumption of translational invariance, to compute the critical exponents $\eta$ and $\delta$, as well as ratios of…

In this paper, we use the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(x)$ and the Bessel zeta function $\zeta_{\mu}(x)$ to study the log-behavior of combinatorial sequences. We prove that $\zeta(x)$ is log-convex for $x>1$. As a consequence, we deduce…

The Catalan number $C_n$ enumerates parenthesizations of $x_0*\dotsb*x_n$ where $*$ is a binary operation. We introduce the modular Catalan number $C_{k,n}$ to count equivalence classes of parenthesizations of $x_0*\dotsb*x_n$ when $*$…

I study Hankel determinants of a class of sequences which can be interpreted as generalizations of the Catalan numbers and the central binomial coefficients. They follow a modular pattern with a frequent appearance of zeroes, so that the…

The convolution of indicators of two conjugacy classes on the symmetric group S_q is usually a complicated linear combination of indicators of many conjugacy classes. Similarly, a product of the moments of the Jucys--Murphy element involves…

The Catalan numbers $C_k$ were first studied by Euler, in the context of enumerating triangulations of polygons $P_{k+2}$. Among the many generalizations of this sequence, the Fuss-Catalan numbers $C^{(d)}_k$ count enumerations of…

In the case of two combinatorial polynomials, we show that they can exhibited as moments of paramaterized families of orthogonal polynomials, and hence derive their Hankel transforms. Exponential Riordan arrays are the main vehicles used…

Given any two sequences of complex numbers, we establish simple relations between their binomial convolution and the binomial convolution of their individual binomial transforms. We employ these relations to derive new identities involving…

Let $R$ be a ring with a set of local units, and a homomorphism of groups $\underline{\Theta} : \G \to \Picar{R}$ to the Picard group of $R$. We study under which conditions $\underline{\Theta}$ is determined by a factor map, and,…

Precise extractions of $\alpha_s$ from $\tau\to {\rm (hadrons)}+\nu_\tau$ and from $e^+e^-\to {\rm (hadrons)}$ below the charm threshold rely on finite energy sum rules (FESRs) where the experimental side is given by integrated spectral…

Recently is has been proved that if $\sigma\in GL_n(R)$ where $R$ is an commutative ring and $n\geq 3$, then each of the elementary transvections $t_{kl}(\sigma_{ij})~(i\neq j,k\neq l)$ is a product of eight $E_n(R)$-conjugates of $\sigma$…
