This paper proves a generalization of a conjecture of Guoniu Han, inspired originally by an identity of Nekrasov and Okounkov. The main result states that certain sums over partitions p of n, involving symmetric functions of the squares of…

Explicit formulas are indicated that compute the product $z \cdot w$ of a level-one element $z \in KK^G(A,{\bf C})$ and any element $w \in KK^G({\bf C},B)$ in splitexact algebraic $KK^G$-theory, or $KK^G$-theory for $C^*$-algebras, with…

We generalize a recent result of Clausen: For a number field with integers O, we compute the K-theory of locally compact O-modules. For the rational integers this recovers Clausen's result as a special case. Our method of proof is quite…

We prove that one can realize certain triangulated subcategories of the singularity category of a complete intersection as homotopy categories of matrix factorizations. Moreover, we prove that for any commutative ring and non-zerodivisor,…

In this paper, we prove the integrality conjecture for quotient stacks arising from weakly symmetric representations of reductive groups. Our main result is a decomposition of the cohomology of the stack into finite-dimensional components…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. A well-known factorization problem is whether any matrix in $\mathrm{SL}_n(R)$ is a product of elementary matrices with entries in $R$. To solve the problem, we use two approaches based on the notion of…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

Recently, there has been a lot of work on combinatorial inequalities related to hook-lengths in $t$-regular partitions. In this short note, we give a proof using generating functions for a result proved by Singh and Barman (2026) using…

For polynomial representations of $GL_n$ of a fixed degree, H. Krause defined a new internal tensor product using the language of strict polynomial functors. We show that over an arbitrary commutative base ring $k$, the Schur functor…

We propose a new approach to study the Kronecker coefficients by using the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra. We explain the limiting behavior and associated bounds in the context of the partition…

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic properties of hook numbers of partitions in restricted classes. More specifically, we compare the frequency with which partitions into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts have hook numbers…

In this article, we evaluate determinants of block hook matrices, which are block matrices consist of hook matrices. In particular, we deduce that the determinant of a block hook matrix factorizes nicely. In addition we give a combinatorial…

For every partition of a positive integer $n$ in $k$ parts and every point of an infinite Grassmannian we obtain a solution of the $k$ component differential-difference KP hierarchy and a corresponding Baker function. A partition of $n$…

We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a ``conformal vertex algebra'' or even more generally,…

Let $p_t(a,b;n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that the number of $t$ hooks is congruent to $a \bmod{b}$. For $t\in \{2, 3\}$, arithmetic progressions $r_1 \bmod{m_1}$ and $r_2 \bmod{m_2}$ on which $p_t(r_1,m_1; m_2 n + r_2)$…

Since the study by Jacobi and Hecke, Hecke-type series have received extensive attention. Especially, Hecke-type series involving infinite products have attracted broad interest among many mathematicians including Kac, Peterson, Andrews,…

We characterize injectivity of von Neumann algebras in terms of factoring bilinear maps as products of linear maps.

For a particular set of Boltzmann weights and a particular boundary condition for the six vertex model in statistical mechanics, we compute explicitly the partition function and show it to be equal to a factorial Schur function, giving a…
