We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed into a product of a given number of 2-cycles, 3-cycles, etc.…
Based on the tile discretization elaborated by the author in "The Polynomial Carleson Operator", we develop a Calderon-Zygmund type decomposition of the Carleson operator. As a consequence, through a unitary method that makes no use of…
We prove a Littlewood-Richardson type formula for $(s_{\lambda/\mu},s_{\nu/\kappa})_{t^k,t}$, the pairing of two skew Schur functions in the MacDonald inner product at $q = t^k$ for positive integers $k$. This pairing counts graded…
In this paper, we introduce maximum composition ordering problems. The input is $n$ real functions $f_1,\dots,f_n:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ and a constant $c\in\mathbb{R}$. We consider two settings: total and partial compositions. The…
In this paper, a construction of constant weight codes based on the unique decomposition of elements in lattices is presented. The conditions for unique primary decomposition and unique irreducible decomposition in lattices are discussed…
FPSAC 2013 Extended Abstract. We introduce a new basis of the non-commutative symmetric functions whose elements have Schur functions as their commutative images. Dually, we build a basis of the quasi-symmetric functions which expand…
In this paper all of the classical constructions of A. Young are generalized to affine Hecke algebras of type A. It is proved that the calibrated irreducible representations of the affine Hecke algebra are indexed by placed skew shapes and…
This paper focuses on the equidimensional decomposition of affine varieties defined by sparse polynomial systems. For generic systems with fixed supports, we give combinatorial conditions for the existence of positive dimensional components…
We use filtrations of the Grassmannian model to produce explicit algebraic formulae for all harmonic maps of finite uniton number from a Riemann surface, and so all harmonic maps from the 2-sphere, to the unitary group for a general class…
We calculate fusion rules for the admissible representations of the affine superalgebra sl(2|1;C) at fractional level k=-1/2 in the Ramond sector. By representing 3-point correlation functions involving a singular vector as the action of…
The k-Schur functions were first introduced by Lapointe, Lascoux and Morse (2003) in the hopes of refining the expansion of Macdonald polynomials into Schur functions. Recently, an alternative definition for k-Schur functions was given by…
We give a generating function for the fully commutative affine permutations enumerated by rank and Coxeter length, extending formulas due to Stembridge and Barcucci--Del Lungo--Pergola--Pinzani. For fixed rank, the length generating…
We study the structure of bounded linear functionals on a class of non-self-adjoint operator algebras that includes the multiplier algebra of every complete Nevanlinna-Pick space, and in particular the multiplier algebra of the…
We introduce a family of tableaux that simultaneously generalizes the tableaux used to characterize Grothendieck polynomials and k-Schur functions. We prove that the polynomials drawn from these tableaux are the affine Grothendieck…
We study some harmonic properties of slice regular functions in one and several Clifford variables and give explicit formulas of the iterated Laplacian applied to slice regular functions and to their spherical derivative, which are new also…
In this article, we consider the decoding problem of affine Grassmann codes over nonbinary fields. We use matrices of different ranks to construct a large set consisting of parity checks of affine Grassmann codes, which are orthogonal with…
We present a branch and bound method for maximizing an arbitrary set function h mapping 2^V to R. By decomposing h as f-g, where f is a submodular function and g is the cut function of a (simple, undirected) graph G with vertex set V, our…
Let $K := \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathcal{O})$ denote the maximal compact subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$, where $F$ is a nonarchimedean local field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$. We study the decomposition of the space of locally constant…
We study deformations of closed string theory by primary fields of conformal weight $(1,1)$, using conformal techniques on the complex plane. A canonical surface integral formalism for computing commutators in a non-holomorphic theory is…
In this article, we study algebraic decompositions and secondary constructions of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions. In many cases, we establish precise criteria which characterize when certain modifications of a given APN function…
