For words in the variables $X$ and $Y$ satisfying the commutation relation of the $q$-deformed generalized Ore algebra, $XY-qYX= \mu I + \nu Y$, we show that the corresponding normal ordering coefficients can be given an interpretation in…

Pairs of graded graphs, together with the Fomin property of graded graph duality, are rich combinatorial structures providing among other a framework for enumeration. The prototypical example is the one of the Young graded graph of integer…

The problem of factorization and parametrization of compactly supported biorthogonal wavelets was reduced to that of pseudoidentity matrix pairs by Resnikoff, Tian, and Wells in their 2001 paper. Based on a conjecture on the pseudoidentity…

We study the generating function of the excess number of Rogers-Ramanujan partitions with odd rank over those with even rank, and, using combinatorial and analytical techniques, show that this generating function is closely connected with…

A $d$-dimensional generalization of a Latin square of order $n$ can be considered as a chess-board of size $n\times n\times \ldots\times n$ ($d$ times), containing $n^d$ cells with $n^{d-1}$ non-attacking rooks. Each cell is identified by a…

We introduce a $q$-analog of the higher continued fractions introduced by the last three authors in a previous work (together with Gregg Musiker), which are simultaneously a generalization of the $q$-rational numbers of Morier-Genoud and…

We show that the partition function of the logarithmic sector of critical topologically massive gravity which represents a series expansion of composition of functions, can be expressed as a sum over rooted trees. Our work brings a…

We establish the equivalence of conjectures concerning the pair correlation of zeros of $L$-functions in the Selberg class and the variances of sums of a related class of arithmetic functions over primes in short intervals. This extends the…

Recently, Andrews and Bachraoui considered a generating function $F_{k,m}(q)$ associated with certain two-color partitions, and conjectured that this function has non-negative coefficients for $m=1$. They showed this property for $1 \leq k…

Let $\lambda$ be a partition, viewed as a Young diagram. We define the hook difference of a cell of $\lambda$ to be the difference of its leg and arm lengths. Define $h_{1,1}(\lambda)$ to be the number of cells of $\lambda$ with hook…

Let $ \lfloor {x} \rfloor $ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to a real number $x$. Given real numbers $0<\alpha_1 < \alpha_2 < \cdots< \alpha_k < 1$ satisfying a certain condition, we show that there are infinitely many…

Let $p$ be a prime, $k$ a positive integer and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q=p^k$ elements. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb F_q$ and $a\in\mathbb F_q$. We denote by $N_{s}(f,a)$ the number of zeros of…

The strong factorization conjecture states that a proper birational map between smooth algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero can be factored as a sequence of smooth blowups followed by a sequence of smooth blowdowns. We…

Let $R=\oplus_{\Gamma\in\Gamma}R_{\gamma}$ be a $\Gamma$-graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$, where $\Gamma$ is a totally ordered semigroup, and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Considering the $\Gamma$-grading filtration $FR$ of $R$ and the…

We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…

Graded rings provide a natural algebraic framework for encoding symmetry via decompositions into homogeneous components indexed by a group, together with multiplication rules reflecting the group operation. Among graded rings, strongly…

Let $n>1$ and $k>0$ be fixed integers. A matrix is said to be level if all its column sums are equal. A level matrix with $m$ rows is called reducible if we can delete $j$ rows, $0<j<m$, so that the remaining matrix is level. We ask if…

Let K be an abstract elementary class satisfying the joint embedding and the amalgamation properties. Let m be a cardinal above the the L\"owenheim-Skolem number of the class. Suppose K satisfies the disjoint amalgamation property for limit…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be a division ring and $\mathbb{F}$ be a subfield of the center of $\mathbb{D}$ over which $\mathbb{D}$ has finite dimension $d$. Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers and $\mathcal{V}$ be an affine subspace of the…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…
