We introduce a class of multidimensional Schr\"odinger operators with elliptic potential which generalize the classical Lam\'e operator to higher dimensions. One natural example is the Calogero--Moser operator, others are related to the…
We consider the classical problems of interpolating a polynomial given a black box for evaluation, and of multiplying two polynomials, in the setting where the bit-lengths of the coefficients may vary widely, so-called unbalanced…
Given a complete modular meet-continuous lattice $A$, an inflator on $A$ is a monotone function $d\colon A\rightarrow A$such that $a\leq d(a)$ for all $a\in A$. If $I(A)$ is the set of all inflators on $A$, then $I(A)$ is a complete…
Suppose one has a party of $m$ people, whose expertise collectively covers $n$ topics. Given a subset $T$ of the topics, one wishes to form a panel of $|T|$ people from the party such that $T$ can be covered by assigning a distinct topic to…
Voronoi conjectured that any parallelotope is affinely equivalent to a Voronoi polytope. A parallelotope is defined by a set of $m$ facet vectors $p_i$ and defines a set of $m$ lattice vectors $t_i$, $1\le i\le m$. We show that Voronoi's…
Following ideas from the Abstract Interpolation Problem of Katsnelson et al. (Operators in spaces of functions and problems in function theory, vol 146, pp 83-69, Naukova Dumka, Keiv, 1987) for Schur class functions, we study a general…
This paper studies rational functions $\mathfrak{J}_\alpha(q)$, which depend on a positive element $\alpha$ of the root lattice of a root system. These functions arise as Shapovalov pairings of Whittaker vectors in Verma modules of highest…
We introduce a new method to approximate integrals $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} f(\boldsymbol{x}) \, \mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{x}$ which simply scales lattice rules from the unit cube $[0,1]^d$ to properly sized boxes on $\mathbb{R}^d$, hereby…
We study the generalization of shifted Jack polynomials to arbitrary multiplicity free spaces. In a previous paper (math.RT/0006004) we showed that these polynomials are eigenfunctions for commuting difference operators. Our central result…
A wealth of geometric and combinatorial properties of a given linear endomorphism $X$ of $\R^N$ is captured in the study of its associated zonotope $Z(X)$, and, by duality, its associated hyperplane arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$. This…
In this paper we show how to use elementary methods to prove that the volume of Sl_k R / Sl_k Z is zeta(2) * zeta(3) * ... * zeta(k) / k. Using a version of reduction theory presented in this paper, we can compute the volumes of certain…
In the course of classifying generic sparse polynomial systems which are solvable in radicals, Esterov recently showed that the volume of the Minkowski sum $P_1+\dots+P_d$ of $d$-dimensional lattice polytopes is bounded from above by a…
We discuss generalizations of some results on lattice polygons to certain piecewise linear loops which may have a self-intersection but have vertices in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We first prove a formula on the rotation number of a…
We study the operator $\mathcal{A}$ of multiplication by an independent variable in a matrix Sobolev space $W^2(M)$. In the cases of finite measures on $[a,b]$ with $(2\times 2)$ and $(3\times 3)$ real continuous matrix weights of full rank…
The decomposition of the polynomials on the quaternionic unit sphere in $\Hd$ into irreducible modules under the action of the quaternionic unitary (symplectic) group and quaternionic scalar multiplication has been studied by several…
For a directed polytope, we construct a colored operad whose Poincare-Hilbert series encodes certain operations on the cellular complex of the polytope. We conjecture that for a class of short polytopes the constructed operads are Koszul…
Let $\dlap$ be the discrete Laplace operator acting on functions (or rational matrices) $f:\mathbf{Q}_L\to\mathbb{Q}$, where $\mathbf{Q}_L$ is the two dimensional lattice of size $L$ embedded in $\mathbb{Z}_2$. Consider a rational $L\times…
The main aim of this work is to apply the matrix approach of ortho\-gonal polynomials associated with infinite Hermitian definite positive matrices in relation with an important question regarding the location of zeros of Sobolev orthogonal…
We show how to solve computationally a combinatorial problem about the possible number of roots orthogonal to a vector of given length in $E_8$. We show that the moduli space of K3 surfaces with polarisation of degree 2d is also of general…
A $q$-rank function is a real-valued function defined on the subspace lattice that is non-negative, upper bounded by the dimension function, non-drecreasing, and satisfies the submodularity law. Each such function corresponds to the rank…
