In a seminal 2007 paper, Andrews introduced a class of combinatorial objects that generalize partitions called $k$-marked Durfee symbols. Multivariate rank generating functions for these objects have been shown by many to have interesting…

In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…

In this paper, we use vertex operator techniques to compute character values on unipotent classes of $\GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$. By realizing the Grothendieck ring $R_G=\bigoplus_{n\geq0}^\infty R(\GL_n(\mathbb F_q))$ as Fock spaces, we formulate…
In this paper, we consider the formal power series whose n-th coefficient is the number of copies of a given finite graph in the ball of radius n centred at the identity element in the Cayley graph of a finitely generated group and call it…
We construct new integral representations for transformations of the ordinary generating function for a sequence, $\langle f_n \rangle$, into the form of a generating function that enumerates the corresponding "square series" generating…
Every symmetric generating functional of a convolution semigroup of states on a locally compact quantum group is shown to admit a dense unital $*$-subalgebra with core-like properties in its domain. On the other hand we prove that every…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian $p$-group. We count \'etale $G$-extensions of global rational function fields $\mathbb F_q(T)$ of characteristic $p$ by the degree of what we call their Artin-Schreier conductor. The corresponding (ordinary)…
We present combinatorial and analytical results concerning a Sheffer sequence with a generating function of the form $G(x,z)=Q(z)^{x}Q(-z)^{1-x}$, where $Q$ is a quadratic polynomial with real zeros. By using the properties of Riordan…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the character sums appearing in the Frobenius formula for three conjugacy classes of symmetric groups. We show that if all three conjugacy classes contain no cycles of lengths $1$, $2$, or $3$, then the…
A linearized function field $F$ can be viewed as a Galois extension of a rational function field $K(x)$. For a totally ramified place $Q$ of degree one in $F/K(x)$, we give a unified description of the set $G(Q)$ of gaps at $Q$. As a…
We define and study multi-colored dimer models on a segment and on a circle. The multivariate generating functions for the dimer models satisfy the recurrence relations similar to the one for Fibonacci numbers. We give closed formulae for…
The coefficient of x^{-1} of a formal Laurent series f(x) is called the formal residue of f(x). Many combinatorial numbers can be represented by the formal residues of hypergeometric terms. With these representations and the extended…
The summatory function of a $q$-regular sequence in the sense of Allouche and Shallit is analysed asymptotically. The result is a sum of periodic fluctuations for eigenvalues of absolute value larger than the joint spectral radius of the…

We give a formula for the q-characters of arbitrary highest-weight integrable modules of sl_{r+1} as a linear combination of the fermionic q-characters of special fusion products of integrable modules. The coefficients in the sum are…
In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…
