Skewing operators play a central role in the symmetric function theory because of the importance of the product structure of the symmetric function space. The theory of noncommutative symmetric functions is a useful tool for studying…
We prove certain general forms of functional relations among Witten multiple zeta-functions in several variables (or zeta-functions of root systems). The structural background of those functional relations is given by the symmetry with…
The commutative trigonometric shuffle algebra ${\mathrm A}$ is a space of symmetric rational functions satisfying certain wheel conditions. We describe a ring isomorphism between ${\mathrm A}$ and the center of the Hecke algebra using a…
This paper presents a noncommutative theory of symmetric functions, based on the notion of quasi-determinant. We begin with a formal theory, corresponding to the case of symmetric functions in an infinite number of independent variables.…
We study a multi-symmetric generalization of the classical Schur functions called the multi-symmetric Schur functions. These functions form an integral basis for the ring of multi-symmetric functions indexed by tuples of partitions and are…
As a quantum affinization, the quantum toroidal algebra is defined in terms of its "left" and "right" halves, which both admit shuffle algebra presentations. In the present paper, we take an orthogonal viewpoint, and give shuffle algebra…
We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…
Colored multiple zeta values are special values of multiple polylogarithms evaluated at Nth roots of unity. In this paper, we define both the finite and the symmetrized versions of these values and show that they both satisfy the double…
Lam and Pylyavskyy introduced loop symmetric functions as a generalization of symmetric functions. They defined loop Schur functions as generating functions over semistandard tableaux with respect to a `colored weight,' and they proved a…
We begin by deriving an action of the 0-Hecke algebra on standard reverse composition tableaux and use it to discover 0-Hecke modules whose quasisymmetric characteristics are the natural refinements of Schur functions known as…
A quasi-schemoid is a small category whose morphisms are colored with appropriate combinatorial data. In this note, Mitchell's embedding theorem for a tame schemoid is established. The result allows us to give a cofibrantly generated model…
When $X$ is locally compact, a quasi-integral (also called a quasi-linear functional) on $ C_c(X)$ is a homogeneous, positive functional that is only assumed to be linear on singly-generated subalgebras. We study simple and almost simple…
Ramanujan derived a sequence of even weight $2n$ quasimodular forms $U_{2n}(q)$ from derivatives of Jacobi's weight $3/2$ theta function. Using the generating function for this sequence, one can construct sequences of quasimodular forms of…
The classical Littlewood-Richardson rule is a rule for computing coefficients in many areas, and comes in many guises. In this paper we prove two Littlewood-Richardson rules for symmetric skew quasisymmetric Schur functions that are…
In this paper we define a continuous version of multiple zeta functions with double variables. They can be analytically continued to meromorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}^r$ with only simple poles at some special hyperplanes. The evaluations…
We show that certain differences of products of $P$-partition generating functions are positive in the basis of fundamental quasi-symmetric functions L_\alpha. This result interpolates between recent Schur positivity and monomial positivity…
As a natural basis of the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions, monomial quasisymmetric functions are formal power series defined from compositions. The same definition applies to left weak compositions, while leads to divergence for…
We introduce a nabla, a delta, and a symmetric fractional calculus on arbitrary nonempty closed subsets of the real numbers. These fractional calculi provide a study of differentiation and integration of noninteger order on discrete,…
We study some classical identities for multiple zeta values and show that they still hold for zeta functions built on the zeros of an arbitrary function. We introduce the complementary zeta function of a system, which naturally occurs when…
