Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $V$ be a free $R$-module of rank $n$ for some $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Fixing an $R$-basis $\mathcal{E}$ of $V$, the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ acts on $V$ by permuting $\mathcal{E}$ and…
Schur-Weyl duality concerns the actions of $\text{GL}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ and $S_{k}$ on tensor powers of the form $V^{\otimes k}$ for an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$. There are rich histories within representation theory, combinatorics,…
We introduce super-analogues of the Schur functors defined by Akin, Buchsbaum and Weyman. These {\em Schur superfunctors} may be viewed as characteristic-free analogues of the finite dimensional atypical irreducible modules over the Lie…
This paper proves a combinatorial rule giving all maximal and minimal partitions $\lambda$ such that the Schur function $s_\lambda$ appears in a plethysm of two arbitrary Schur functions. Determining the decomposition of these plethysms has…
A combinatorial expression for the coefficient of the Schur function $s_{\lambda}$ in the expansion of the plethysm $p_{n/d}^d \circ s_{\mu}$ is given for all $d$ dividing $n$ for the cases in which $n=2$ or $\lambda$ is rectangular. In…
We reformulate the persistent (co)homology of simplicial filtrations, viewed from a more algebraic setting, namely as the (co)homology of a chain complex of graded modules over polynomial ring $K[t]$. We also define persistent (co)homology…
Liedtke (2008) has introduced group functors $K$ and $\tilde K$, which are used in the context of describing certain invariants for complex algebraic surfaces. He proved that these functors are connected to the theory of central extensions…
Let $R$ be an associative ring with unit. Given an $R$-module $M$, we can associate the following covariant functor from the category of $R$-algebras to the category of abelian groups: $S\mapsto M\otimes_R S$. With the corresponding notion…
Let G be GL_N or SL_N as reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of positive characteristic p. We prove several results that were previously established only when N < 6 or p > 2^N. Let G act rationally on a finitely generated…
The present paper is a detailed version of math/0003031. We introduce and study a new basis in the algebra of symmetric functions. The elements of this basis are called the Frobenius-Schur functions (FS-functions, for short). Our main…
For the Schur superalgebra $S=S(m|n,r)$ over a ground field $K$ of characteristic zero, we define symmetrizers $T^{\lambda}[i:j]$ of the ordered pairs of tableaux $T_i, T_j$ of the shape $\lambda$ and show that the $K$-span $A_{\lambda,K}$…
The Schur $\mathsf{Lie}$-multiplier of Leibniz algebras is the Schur multiplier of Leibniz algebras defined relative to the Liezation functor. In this paper, we study upper bounds for the dimension of the Schur $\mathsf{Lie}$-multiplier of…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{h}$ be two Lie algebras with $\mathfrak{h}$ finite dimensional and consider ${\mathcal A} = {\mathcal A} (\mathfrak{h}, \, \mathfrak{g})$ to be the corresponding universal algebra as introduced in…
In previous work of this author it was conjectured that the sum of power sums $p_\lambda,$ for partitions $\lambda$ ranging over an interval $[(1^n), \mu]$ in reverse lexicographic order, is Schur-positive. Here we investigate this…
The Schur function indexed by a partition lambda with at most n parts is the sum of the weight monomials for the Young tableaux of shape lambda. Let pi be an n-permutation. We give two descriptions of the tableaux that contribute their…
The Schur limit of the superconformal index of four-dimensional $\mathcal N=2$ superconformal field theories has been shown to equal the supercharacter of the vacuum module of their associated chiral algebra. Applying localization…
The plethysm product of Schur functions corresponds to composing polynomial representations of infinite general linear groups. Finding the plethysm coefficients $\langle s_\nu \circ s_\mu, s_\lambda\rangle$ that express an arbitrary…
We introduce a new combinatorial object, semistandard increasing decomposition tableau and study its relation to a semistandard decomposition tableau introduced by Kra\'skiewicz and developed by Lam and Serrano. We also introduce…
Let $\mathfrak l:= \mathfrak q(n)\times\mathfrak q(n)$, where $\mathfrak q(n)$ denotes the queer Lie superalgebra. The associative superalgebra $V$ of type $Q(n)$ has a left and right action of $\mathfrak q(n)$, and hence is equipped with a…
Let $f \in C^n(\mathbb{R})$ be such that $\Vert f^{(n)} \Vert_\infty < \infty$. Let $f^{[n]} \in C(\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ be the $n$th order divided difference. A special case of our main result states that for $1 < p < \infty$ we have \[\Vert…
