We develop a calculus that gives an elementary approach to enumerate partition-like objects using an infinite upper-triangular number-theoretic matrix. We call this matrix the Partition-Frequency Enumeration (PFE) matrix. This matrix…

We obtain an explicit expression for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the torus with given ramification type for a small number of ramification points, and conjecture this to be true for an arbitrary number of ramification…

Littlewood polynomials are polynomials with each of their coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$. A sequence of Littlewood polynomials that satisfies a remarkable flatness property on the unit circle of the complex plane is given by the Rudin-Shapiro…

We prove the addition-deletion theorems for the Solomon-Terao polynomials, which have two important specializations. Namely, one is to the characteristic polynomials of hyperplane arangements, and the other to the Poincar\`{e} polynomials…

We present a different proof of the following identity due to Munarini, which generalizes a curious binomial identity of Simons. \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{\alpha}{n-k}\binom{\beta+k}{k}x^k…

We study $\nu_k(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ part sizes, and find numerous arithmetic progressions where $\nu_2$ and $\nu_3$ take on values divisible by 2 and 4. Expanding earlier work, we show $\nu_2(An+B) \equiv 0…

The properties of matrix valued polynomials generated by the scalar-type Rodrigues' formulas are analyzed. A general representation of these polynomials is found in terms of products of simple differential operators. The recurrence…

In this paper we report on new results relating to a conjecture regarding properties of $n\times n$, $n\leq 6$, positive definite matrices. The conjecture has been proven for $n\leq 4$ using computer-assisted sum of squares (SoS) methods…

We consider the inversion enumerator I_n(q), which counts labeled trees or, equivalently, parking functions. This polynomial has a natural extension to generalized parking functions. Substituting q = -1 into this generalized polynomial…

The numbers $R_n$ and $W_n$ are defined as \begin{align*} R_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k}\frac{1}{2k-1},\ \text{and}\ W_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k}\frac{3}{2k-3}. \end{align*} We prove that, for any positive…

Using the language of Riordan arrays, we look at two related iterative processes on matrices and determine which matrices are invariant under these processes. In a special case, the invariant sequences that arise are conjectured to have…

An $n$-correct node set $\mathcal{X}$ is called $GC_n$ set if the fundamental polynomial of each node is a product of $n$ linear factors. In 1982 Gasca and Maeztu conjectured that for every $GC_n$ set there is a line passing through $n+1$…

Exponential Puiseux semirings are additive submonoids of $\qq_{\geq 0}$ generated by almost all of the nonnegative powers of a positive rational number, and they are natural generalizations of rational cyclic semirings. In this paper, we…

We show that the irreducible variety of 4 x 4 x 4 complex valued tensors of border rank at most 4 is the zero set of polynomial equations of degree 5 (the Strassen commutative conditions), of degree 6 (the Landsberg-Manivel polynomials),…

Let $R_n=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the $n$-variable polynomial ring over a field $K$. Let $S_n$ denote the set of monomials in $R_n$. A monomial $u \in S_n$ is a \textit{Gotzmann monomial} if the Borel-stable monomial ideal $\langle u \rangle$…

We prove an effective equidistribution theorem for orbits of horospherical subgroups of $\mathrm{SO}(2, 2)$ and $\mathrm{SO}(3, 1)$ in quotients of $\mathrm{SL}_4(\mathbb{R})$ with a polynomial error term. In a forthcoming paper, we will…

For each of the functions $f \in \{\phi, \sigma, \omega, \tau\}$ and every natural number $k$, we show that there are infinitely many solutions to the inequalities $f(p_n-1) < f(p_{n+1}-1) < \dots < f(p_{n+k}-1)$, and similarly for…
