A natural first step in the classification of all `physical' modular invariant partition functions $\sum N_{LR}\,\c_L\,\C_R$ lies in understanding the commutant of the modular matrices $S$ and $T$. We begin this paper extending the work of…
The concepts of differentiation and integration for matrices are known. As far as each matrix is differentiable, it is not clear a priori whether a given matrix is integrable or not. Recently some progress was obtained for diagonalizable…
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing a multivariate polynomial as the determinant of a definite (monic) symmetric/Hermitian linear matrix polynomial (LMP). Such a polynomial is known as determinantal polynomial.…
In this paper we study partitions whose successive ranks belong to a given set. We enumerate such partitions while keeping track of the number of parts, the largest part, the side of the Durfee square, and the height of the Durfee…
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
We consider a partially asymmetric exclusion process (PASEP) on a finite number of sites with open and directed boundary conditions. Its partition function was calculated by Blythe, Evans, Colaiori, and Essler. It is known to be a…
In the study of determinant formulas for Schur functions, Hamel and Goulden introduced a class of Giambelli-type matrices with respect to outside decompositions of partition diagrams, which unify the Jacobi-Trudi matrices, the Giambelli…
We derive exact matrix integral representations for different sums over partitions. The characteristic feature of all obtained matrix models is the presence of logarithmic (or, vice versa, exponential) terms in the potential. Our derivation…
We analyze the factorization process for lattice maps, searching for integrable cases. The maps were assumed to be at most quadratic in the dependent variables, and we required minimal factorization (one linear factor) after 2 steps of…
We present an alternative account of the problem of classifying and finding normal forms for arbitrary bilinear forms. Beginning from basic results developed by Riehm, our solution to this problem hinges on the classification of…
We answer some questions related to multiplicity formulas by Rosenthal and Zelevinsky and by Lakshmibai and Weyman for points on Schubert varieties in Grassmannians. In particular, we give combinatorial interpretations in terms of…
Extending the notion of $r$-(class) regular partitions, we define $(r_{1},...,r_{m})$-class regular partitions. A partition identity is presented and described by making use of the Glaisher correspondence.
A generalized definition of the determinant of matrices is given, which is compatible with the usual determinant for square matrices and keeps many important properties, such as being an alternating multilinear function, keeping…
In 1876 H. J. S. Smith defined an LCM matrix as follows: let S = {x_1, x_2, ..., x_n} be a set of positive integers. The LCM matrix [S] is the n $\times$ n matrix with lcm(x_i , x_j) as its ij entry. During the last 30 years singularity of…
We prove a conjecture of Miller and Reiner on the Smith normal form of the operator $DU$ associated with a differential poset for the special case of Young's lattice. Equivalently, this operator can be described as $\frac{\partial}{\partial…
We compute the spectrum and Smith normal form of the incidence matrix of disjoint transversals, a combinatorial object closely related to the n-dimensional case of Rota's basis conjecture.
Lattice paths called $\ell$-Schr\"oder paths are introduced. They are paths on the upper half-plane consisting of $\ell+2$ types of steps: $(i,\ell-i)$ for $i=0,\ldots,\ell$, and $(1,-1)$. Those paths generalize Schr\"oder paths and some…
Matrix partition problems generalize a number of natural graph partition problems, and have been studied for several standard graph classes. We prove that each matrix partition problem has only finitely many minimal obstructions for split…
We introduce a remarkable new family of norms on the space of $n \times n$ complex matrices. These norms arise from the combinatorial properties of symmetric functions, and their construction and validation involve probability theory,…
We consider the problem of writing real polynomials as determinants of symmetric linear matrix polynomials. This problem of algebraic geometry, whose roots go back to the nineteenth century, has recently received new attention from the…
