Macdonald's ninth variation of Schur functions is a broad generalization of the classical Schur function and its variants, defined via the Jacobi-Trudi determinant formula. In this paper, we establish various algebraic relations for…

We study the commutation relations and normal ordering between families of operators on symmetric functions. These operators can be naturally defined by the operations of multiplication, Kronecker product, and their adjoints. As…

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 give a geometric interpretation of all the $m$-th elliptic integrable systems associated to a $k'$-symmetric space $N=G/G_0$ (in the sense of C.L. Terng). It turns out that we have to introduce the integer $m_{k'}$ defined by m_{1}=0 and…

Denote by $\lambda(n)$ Liouville's function concerning the parity of the number of prime divisors of $n$. Using a theorem of Allouche, Mend\`es France, and Peyri\`ere and many classical results from the theory of the distribution of prime…

Using inequalities of Rosser and Schoenfeld, we prove formulas for pi(n) and the n-th prime that involve only the elementary operations +,-,/ on integers, together with the floor function. Pascal Sebah has pointed out that the formula for…

Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We prove that for any positive integer $k$, there is a number $m$ for which the equation $\sigma(x)=m$ has exactly $k$ solutions, settling a conjecture of Sierpi\'nski from…

We review the basic properties of effective actions of families of theories (i.e., the actions depending on additional non-perturbative moduli along with perturbative couplings), and their description in terms of operators (called…

We prove that $\mathop{\mathbb{E}}_{m \leq M} \mathop{\mathbb{E}}_{n \leq N} \Lambda(n) \Lambda\bigl(n + \lfloor m^c \rfloor\bigr) = 1 + \rm{O}(\log^{2 - Bc} N)$, where $c > 2$ is a non-integer, $B \geq 3/c$, and $M$ is of order $N^{1/c}…

Let $I_k = [(2k-1)^2, (2k+1)^2)$ for $k \geq 1$. Starting from the odd-composite matrix $(b_{ij})$ with $b_{ij} = (2i-1)(2j-1)$, introduced by the author in [1], we define for each odd integer $n$ the \emph{matrix multiplicity} $r(n)$, the…

In this note, we rederive quantum Pieri's formula and the rim hook algorithm in quantum Schubert calculus by studying multiplication in the equivariant cohomology ring of Grassmannians with respect to equivariant Schubert classes which are…

We give the formula for multiplying a Schubert class on an odd orthogonal or symplectic flag manifold by a special Schubert class pulled back from a Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces. This is also the formula for multiplying a…

In this paper, for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, the following relationships between the functions $K_{b}(n)$ and $K_{e}(n)$ and the Bernoulli and Euler numbers are proved: \[ B_{2n} = -\,\frac{(2n)!}{2^{2n}-2}\, K_{b}(n), \qquad E_{2n} =…

We show that the action of classical operators associated to the Macdonald polynomials on the basis of Schur functions, S_{\lambda}[X(t-1)/(q-1)], can be reduced to addition in \lambda-rings. This provides explicit formulas for the…

The results of the study provide guidelines for the development and applications of algorithms. When the number of steps for calculating an assumption tends to infinity, probability theory can be applied to predict whether the assumption…

Determining if a symmetric function is Schur-positive is a prevalent and, in general, a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper we study the Schur-positivity of a family of symmetric functions. Given a partition \lambda, we denote by…

We introduce Jack (unitary) characters and prove two kinds of formulas that are suitable for their asymptotics, as the lengths of the signatures that parametrize them go to infinity. The first kind includes several integral representations…

We study a family of operators on the affine nilCoxeter algebra. We use these operators to prove conjectures of Lam, Lapointe, Morse, and Shimozono regarding strong Schur functions.

We establish a ring isomorphism between the derived Hall algebra of the Jordan quiver and the ring of double symmetric functions (i.e., the ring of symmetric polynomials in two sets of countably many variables, invariant under the…

Let $\mathrm{JT}_\lambda$ be the Jacobi-Trudi matrix corresponding to the partition $\lambda$, so $\det\mathrm{JT}_\lambda$ is the Schur function $s_\lambda$ in the variables $x_1,x_2,\dots$. Set $x_1=\cdots=x_n=1$ and all other $x_i=0$.…
