In this work, we study the generalized k-th power symbol (a/n)_k and present a comprehensive collection of its algebraic properties. The results are classified according to their dependence on the three main parameters a, n, and k. In…
We consider the asymptotic behavior as $n\to\infty$ of the spectra of random matrices of the form \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{n-1}}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}Z_{nk}\rho_n ((k,k+1)),\] where for each $n$ the random variables $Z_{nk}$ are i.i.d. standard Gaussian…
The second author had previously obtained explicit generating functions for moments of characteristic polynomials of permutation matrices (n points). In this paper, we generalize many aspects of this situation. We introduce random shifts of…
R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…
Given a finite group $G$ acting on a set $X$ let $\delta_k(G,X)$ denote the proportion of elements in $G$ that have exactly $k$ fixed points in $X$. Let $\mathrm{S}_n$ denote the symmetric group acting on $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$. For…
In this paper, we consider a deformation of Plancherel measure linked to Jack polynomials. Our main result is the description of the first and second-order asymptotics of the bulk of a random Young diagram under this distribution, which…
In this note we give concise formulas, which lead to a simple and fast computer program that computes a powerful knot invariant. This invariant $\rho_1$ is not new, yet our formulas are by far the simplest and fastest: given a knot we write…
We define analytic $R$-groups for affine Hecke algebras, and prove the analog of the Knapp-Stein Dimension Theorem. As a corollary we prove that the commutant algebra of a unitary principal series representation is isomorphic to the complex…
We present a proof of a recent conjecture due to M. Kazarian, E. Krasilnikov, S. Lando, and M. Shapiro, which describes the average value of the universal $\mathfrak{gl}$-weight system on permutations. The proof uses a quantum analogue of…
We determine the asymptotic density $\delta_k$ of the set of ordered $k$-tuples $(n_1,...,n_k)\in \N^k, k\ge 2$, such that there exists no prime power $p^a$, $a\ge 1$, appearing in the canonical factorization of each $n_i$, $1\le i\le k$,…
We present several upper and lower bounds on the Kronecker coefficients of the symmetric group. We prove $k$-stability of the Kronecker coefficients generalizing the (usual) stability, and giving a new upper bound. We prove a lower bound…
A square matrix is $k$-Toeplitz if its diagonals are periodic sequences of period $k$. We find universal formulas for the determinant, the characteristic polynomial, some eigenvectors, and the entries of the inverse of any tridiagonal…
For a unitary representation of the fundamental group of a compact smooth manifold, Atiyah, Patodi, Singer defined the so called alpha-invariant of the representation using Chern-Simons invariants. In this article using traces on…
Canon permutations are permutations of the multiset having $k$ copies of each integer between $1$ and $n$, with the property that the subsequences obtained by taking the $j$th copy of each entry, for each fixed $j$, are all the same. For…
Generalized Hall-Littlewood polynomials (Macdonald spherical functions) and generalized Kostka-Foulkes polynomials ($q$-weight multiplicities) arise in many places in combinatorics, representation theory, geometry, and mathematical physics.…
In an earlier paper [1] it was shown that the Frobenius compound characters for the symmetric groups are related to the irreducible characters by a linear relation that involves a unitriagular coupling matrix that gives the Frobenius…
A known result for the finite general linear group $\GL(n,\FF_q)$ and for the finite unitary group $\U(n,\FF_{q^2})$ posits that the sum of the irreducible character degrees is equal to the number of symmetric matrices in the group. Fulman…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic $0$. For each choice of distinct $a_1, \ldots, a_n\in \mathbb{K}$ and distinct $b_1, \ldots, b_n\in \mathbb{K}$, consider the sum $S=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i b_{\pi(i)}$ as $\pi$ ranges over the…
We introduce certain quiver analogue of the determinantal variety. We study the Kempf-Lascoux-Weyman's complex associated to a line bundle on the variety. In the case of generalized Kronecker quivers, we give a sufficient condition on when…
For $0 < \lambda < 1$ and $n \rightarrow \infty$ pick uniformly at random $\lambda n$ vectors in $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $C$ be the orthogonal complement of their span. Given $0 < \gamma < \frac12$ with $0 < \lambda < h(\gamma)$, let $X$ be the…
