We study the spectral properties of discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with Sturmian potentials. It is shown that the point spectrum is always empty. Moreover, for rotation numbers with bounded density, we establish purely…

We use crystals of tableaux and descent compositions to understand the decomposition of Schur functions $s_\lambda$ into Gessel's fundamental quasisymmetric functions $F_\alpha$. The connected crystal of tableaux $B(\lambda)$, associated to…

Let $\mathfrak{F}_n$ be the set of all cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ with unitary central character over a number field $F$. We prove the first unconditional zero density estimate for the set…

We define a new family of symmetric functions which are affine analogues of Stanley symmetric functions. We establish basic properties of these functions including symmetry, dominance and conjugation. We conjecture certain positivity…

Recent theoretical ideas and observational claims suggest that the fine structure constant alpha may be variable. We examine a spectrum of models in which alpha is a function of a scalar field. Specifically, we consider three scenarios:…

The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., power series with…

We present calculations of structure functions using a renormalization scheme consistent expansion which is leading order in both ln(1/x) and \alpha_s(Q^2). There is no factorization scheme dependence, and the ``physical anomalous…

We introduce a new family of Schur functions $s_{\lambda/\mu;a,b}(x/y)$ that depend on two sets of variables and two sequences of parameters. These free fermionic Schur functions have a hidden symmetry between the two sets of parameters…

Structure constants of minimal conformal theories are reconsidered. It is shown that {\it ratios} of structure constants of spin zero fields of a non-diagonal theory over the same evaluated in the diagonal theory are given by a simple…

The spin structure functions of the system of quasifree fermions on mass shell are studied in a consistently covariant approach. Comparison with the basic formulas following from the quark-parton model reveals the importance of the fermion…

We introduce two new bases for polynomials that lift monomial and fundamental quasisymmetric functions to the full polynomial ring. By defining a new condition on pipe dreams, called quasi-Yamanouchi, we give a positive combinatorial rule…

The inner plethysm of symmetric functions corresponds to the $\lambda$-ring operations of the representation ring $R({\mathfrak S}_n)$ of the symmetric group. It is known since the work of Littlewood that this operation possesses stability…

We study the back stable Schubert calculus of the infinite flag variety. Our main results are: 1) a formula for back stable (double) Schubert classes expressing them in terms of a symmetric function part and a finite part; 2) a novel…

Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…

Ahlfors' theory of covering surfaces is one of the major mathematical achievement of last century. The most important part of his theory is the Second Fundamental Theorem (SFT). We are interested in the relation of errors of Ahlfors' SFT…

The present paper is a detailed version of math/0003031. We introduce and study a new basis in the algebra of symmetric functions. The elements of this basis are called the Frobenius-Schur functions (FS-functions, for short). Our main…

Let G be any of the complex classical groups GL(n), SO(2n+1), Sp(2n), O(2n), let g denote the Lie algebra of G, and let Z(g) denote the subalgebra of G-invariants in the universal enveloping algebra U(g). We derive a Taylor-type expansion…

We define an equivalence relation on integer compositions and show that two ribbon Schur functions are identical if and only if their defining compositions are equivalent in this sense. This equivalence is completely determined by means of…

Let $\{S_i\}_{i\in \Lambda}$ be a finite contracting affine iterated function system (IFS) on ${\Bbb R}^d$. Let $(\Sigma,\sigma)$ denote the two-sided full shift over the alphabet $\Lambda$, and $\pi:\Sigma\to {\Bbb R}^d$ be the coding map…
