To prove that a polynomial is nonnegative on R^n one can try to show that it is a sum of squares of polynomials (SOS). The latter problem is now known to be reducible to a semidefinite programming (SDP) computation much faster than…
Skew stable Grothendieck polynomials are $K$-theoretic analogues of skew Schur polynomials. We give a free-fermionic presentation of skew stable Grothendieck polynomials and their dual symmetric functions. By using our presentation, we…
We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…
Schur superpolynomials have been introduced recently as limiting cases of the Macdonald superpolynomials. It turns out that there are two natural super-extensions of the Schur polynomials: in the limit $q=t=0$ and $q=t\rightarrow\infty$,…
We describe an algorithm for fast multiplication of skew polynomials. It is based on fast modular multiplication of such skew polynomials, for which we give an algorithm relying on evaluation and interpolation on normal bases. Our…
Cylindric skew Schur functions, which are a generalisation of skew Schur functions, arise naturally in the study of P-partitions. Also, recent work of A. Postnikov shows they have a strong connection with a problem of considerable current…
New bispectral polynomials orthogonal on a quadratic bi-lattice are obtained from a truncation of Wilson polynomials. Recurrence relation and difference equation are provided. The recurrence coefficients can be encoded in a perturbed…
There are several isomorphic constructions for the irreducible polynomial representations of the general linear group in characteristic zero. The two most well-known versions are called Schur modules and Weyl modules. Steven Sam used a Weyl…
We present positivity conjectures for the Schur expansion of Jack symmetric functions in two bases given by binomial coefficients. Partial results suggest that there are rich combinatorics to be found in these bases, including Eulerian…
We show that normalized Schur polynomials are strongly log-concave. As a consequence, we obtain Okounkov's log-concavity conjecture for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in the special case of Kostka numbers.
The aim of this paper is to present a new simple recurrence for Appell and Sheffer sequences in terms of the linear functional that defines them, and to explain how this is equivalent to several well-known characterizations appearing in the…
We introduce a class of Schur type functions associated with polynomial sequences of binomial type. This can be regarded as a generalization of the ordinary Schur functions and the factorial Schur functions. This generalization satisfies…
This publication is an exercise which extends to two variables the Christoffel's construction of orthogonal polynomials for potentials of one variable with external sources. We generalize the construction to biorthogonal polynomials. We…
For an arbitrary homogeneous linear recurrence sequence of order d with constant coefficients, we derive recurrence relations for all subsequences with indices in arithmetic progression. The coefficients of these recurrences are given…
At finite N the number of restricted Schur polynomials is greater than or equal to the number of generalized restricted Schur polynomials. In this note we study this discrepancy and explain its origin. We conclude that, for quiver gauge…
We introduce lecture hall tableaux, which are fillings of a skew Young diagram satisfying certain conditions. Lecture hall tableaux generalize both lecture hall partitions and anti-lecture hall compositions, and also contain reverse…

Consider the following truncated Freud linear functional $\mathbf{u}_z$ depending on a parameter $z$, $$\langle\mathbf{u}_z,p\rangle=\int_0^\infty p(x)e^{-zx^4}dx,\quad z>0.$$ The aim of this work is to analyze the properties of the…
We study residual polynomials, $R_{x_0,n}^{(\mathfrak{e})}$, $\mathfrak{e}\subset\mathbb{R}$, $x_0\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathfrak{e}$, which are the degree at most $n$ polynomials with $R(x_0)=1$ that minimize the $\sup$ norm on…
In this thesis we prove Schur-positivity of certain graph families. In addition, we exlpor existence of cyclic descent extensions on several families of Schur-positive sets.
