Let $k$ and $m$ be positive integers and $\lambda/\mu$ a skew partition. We compute the principal specialization of the skew Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda /\mu}(x_1, \ldots, x_{k})$ modulo $q^m-1$ under suitable conditions. We interpret the…
We derive combinatorial identities, involving the Bernoulli and Euler numbers, for the numbers of standard Young tableaux of certain skew shapes. This generalizes the classical formulas of D. Andre on the number of up-down permutations. The…
We show that the additive higher Chow groups of regular schemes over a field induce a Zariski sheaf of pro-differential graded algebras, whose Milnor range is isomorphic to the Zariski sheaf of big de Rham-Witt complexes. This provides an…
In this paper, we consider sequences of polynomials that satisfy differential--difference recurrences. Our interest is motivated by the fact that polynomials satisfying such recurrences frequently appear as generating polynomials of integer…
We relate hook-length products for adjacent staircase partitions to special values of Jacobi polynomials. This connection expresses the number of semistandard tableaux in terms of Jacobi polynomials defined via Gauss hypergeometric…
We introduce a family of univariate polynomials indexed by integer partitions. At prime powers, they count the number of subspaces in a finite vector space that transform under a regular diagonal matrix in a specified manner. This…
We prove a conjecture by Diaz-Lopez et al. that bounds the roots of descent polynomials. To do so, we prove an algebraic inequality, which we refer to as the "Slice and Push Inequality." This inequality compares expressions that come from…
The first author recently introduced toric promotion, an operator that acts on the labelings of a graph $G$ and serves as a cyclic analogue of Sch\"utzenberger's promotion operator. Toric promotion is defined as the composition of certain…
We define P-strict labelings for a finite poset P as a generalization of semistandard Young tableaux and show that promotion on these objects is in equivariant bijection with a toggle action on B-bounded Q-partitions of an associated poset…
Let P_{n,m} denote the graph taken uniformly at random from the set of all planar graphs on {1,2,..., n} with exactly m(n) edges. We use counting arguments to investigate the probability that P_{n,m} will contain given components and…
In a recent paper, Ayyer and Behrend present for a wide class of partitions factorizations of Schur polynomials with an even number of variables where half of the variables are the reciprocals of the others into symplectic and/or orthogonal…
We study two generalizations of the gamma-expansion of Eulerian polynomials from the viewpoint of the decompositions of statistics. We first present an expansion formula of the trivariate Eulerian polynomials, which are the enumerators for…
Set-valued standard Young tableaux are a generalization of standard Young tableaux due to Buch (2002) with applications in algebraic geometry. The enumeration of set-valued SYT is significantly more complicated than in the ordinary case,…
We show that Narayana polynomials are a specialization of row Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. Using lambda-ring calculus, we generalize to Narayana polynomials the formulas of Koshy and Jonah for Catalan numbers.
Using the Berele/Remmel/Kerov/Vershik variation of the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence, we study the cycle and increasing subsequence structure after various methods of shuffling. One consequence is a cycle index for shuffles like:…
Using calculus we show how to prove some combinatorial inequalities of the type log-concavity or log-convexity. It is shown by this method that binomial coefficients and Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds are log-concave, and…
We study piecewise-linear and birational lifts of Sch\"utzenberger promotion, evacuation, and the RSK correspondence defined in terms of toggles. Using this perspective, we prove that certain chain statistics in rectangles shift predictably…
We define a counting function that is related to the binomial coefficients. An explicit formula for this function is proved. In some particular cases, simpler explicit formuls are derived. We also derive a formula for the number of…
In 2012, N. Williams and the second author showed that on order ideals of ranked partially ordered sets (posets), rowmotion is conjugate to (and thus has the same orbit structure as) a different toggle group action, which in special cases…
In this paper, we formulate a rational analog of the fall Delta theorem and the Delta square conjecture. We find a new dinv statistic on fall-decorated paths on a $(m+k) \times (n+k)$ rectangle that simultaneously extends the previously…
