A theorem of Hunter ensures that the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials of even degree are positive definite functions. A probabilistic interpretation of Hunter's theorem suggests a broad generalization: the construction of…
In this paper, we investigate some properties of q-Bernoulli polynomi- als arising from q-umbral calculus. Finally, we derive some interesting identities of q-Bernoulli polynomials from our investigation.
Boris Shapiro and Michael Shapiro have a conjecture concerning the Schubert calculus and real enumerative geometry and which would give infinitely many families of zero-dimensional systems of real polynomials (including families of…
We suggest the point of view that the Schubert classes of the affine Grassmannian of a simple algebraic group should be considered as Schur-positive symmetric functions. In particular, we give a geometric explanation of the Schur positivity…
This chapter combines an introduction and research survey about Schubert varieties. The theme is to combinatorially classify their singularities using a family of polynomial ideals generated by determinants.
In earlier papers the second author and Charles Read have introduced and studied a new notion of positivity for operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain C*-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. The present…
We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.
The grassmannian of hermitian lagrangian spaces in $\mathbb{C}^n\oplus \mathbb{C}^n$ is a natural compactification of the space of hermitian $n\times n$ matrices. We describe a Schubert-like, Whitney regular stratification on this space…
Grothendieck polynomials were introduced by Lascoux and Sch\"utzenberger, and they play an important role in K-theoretic Schubert calculus. In this paper, we give a new definition of double stable Grothendieck polynomials based on an…
We study Schubert polynomials using geometry of infinite-dimensional flag varieties and degeneracy loci. Applications include Graham-positivity of coefficients appearing in equivariant coproduct formulas and expansions of back-stable and…
We present a positivity conjecture for the coefficients of the development of Jack polynomials in terms of power sums. This extends Stanley's ex-conjecture about normalized characters of the symmetric group. We prove this conjecture for…
We describe algebraic certificates of positivity for functions belonging to a finitely generated algebra of Borel measurable functions, with particular emphasis to algebras generated by semi-algebraic functions. In which case the standard…
We define complex cobordism realizations of cohomological Thom polynomials and study their existence, uniqueness and other features. We show that problem is non-trivial on the example of $\Sigma^1$ singularity.
The eigenvectors of an ergodic semigroup of linear normal positive unital maps on a von Neumann algebra are described. Moreover, it is shown by means of examples, that mere positivity of the maps in question is not sufficient for Frobenius…
We establish an analogue of the Goldbach conjecture for Laurent polynomials with positive integer coefficients.
We show that positivity on $\mathbb{R}_+^n$ and on $\mathbb{R}^n$ of real symmetric polynomials of degree at most $p$ in $n\ge2$ variables is solvable by algorithms running in $\mathrm{poly}(n)$ time. For real symmetric quartics, we find…
We prove twist positivity and positivity of the pair correlation function for combined spatial and internal symmetries of free bosonic Lagrangians. We work in a general setting, extending the results obtained in Twist Positivity [1].
In a previous paper, we showed that profinite $L$-algebras (where $L$ is a variety of modal algebras generated by its finite members) are monadic over $\mathbf{Set}$. This monadicity result suggests that profinite $L$-algebras could be…
The aim of this work is to construct examples of pairs whose logarithmic cotangent bundles have strong positivity properties. These examples are constructed from any smooth n-dimensional complex projective varieties by considering the sum…
The notion of Ehrhart tensor polynomials, a natural generalization of the Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope, was recently introduced by Ludwig and Silverstein. We initiate a study of their coefficients. In the vector and matrix…
