For $n \geq 2$ consider the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{s\ell}(n)$ with simple roots $\{\alpha_i \mid 0 \leq i \leq n-1\}$. Let $V(k\Lambda_0), \, k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$ denote the integrable highest weight $\widehat{s\ell}(n)$-module…
Using lattice path counting arguments, we reproduce a well known formula for the number of standard Young tableaux. We also produce an interesting new formula for tableaux of height $\leq 3$ using the Fourier methods of Ault and Kicey.
We determine explicitly the maximal dominant weights for the integrable highest weight $\hat{sl}(n)$-modules $V((k-1)\Lambda_0 + \Lambda_s)$, $0 \leq s \leq n-1$, $ k \geq 2$. We give a conjecture for the number of maximal dominant weights…
We give asymptotic formulas for the multiplicities of weights and irreducible summands in high-tensor powers $V_{\lambda}^{\otimes N}$ of an irreducible representation $V_{\lambda}$ of a compact connected Lie group $G$. The weights are…
In this paper, we propose a notion of colored Motzkin paths and establish a bijection between the $n$-cell standard Young tableaux (SYT) of bounded height and the colored Motzkin paths of length $n$. This result not only gives a lattice…
Consider non-negative lattice paths ending at their maximum height, which will be called admissible paths. We show that the probability for a lattice path to be admissible is related to the Chebyshev polynomials of the first or second kind,…
The combinatorics of certain osculating lattice paths is studied, and a relationship with oscillating tableaux is obtained. More specifically, the paths being considered have fixed start and end points on respectively the lower and right…
Let E be an arbitrary directed graph with no restrictions on the number of vertices and edges and let K be any field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) to be of countable irreducible…
The weight multiplicities of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras can be computed individually using various methods. Still, it is hard to derive explicit closed formulas. Similarly, explicit closed formulas for the multiplicities of…
We consider families $\mathcal{P}_n$ of plane lattice paths enumerated by Guy, Krattenthaler, and Sagan (1992). We show by explicit bijection that these families are equinumerous with the set $\mathrm{SYT}(n+2,2,1^n)$ of standard Young…
The spectral decomposition of the path space of the vertex model associated to the level $l$ representation of the quantized affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_n)$ is studied. The spectrum and its degeneracy are parametrized by skew Young…
We enumerate the edges in the Hasse diagram of several lattices arising in the combinatorial context of lattice paths. Specifically, we will consider the case of Dyck, Grand Dyck, Motzkin, Grand Motzkin, Schr\"oder and Grand Schr\"oder…
A lattice path in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is a sequence $\nu_1,\nu_2,\ldots,\nu_k\in\mathbb{Z}^d$ such that the steps $\nu_i-\nu_{i-1}$ lie in a subset $\mathbf{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for all $i=2,\ldots,k$. Let $T_{m,n}$ be the $m\times n$ table in…
Inhomogeneous lattice paths are introduced as ordered sequences of rectangular Young tableaux thereby generalizing recent work on the Kostka polynomials by Nakayashiki and Yamada and by Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon. Motivated by these works…
We consider the system of equations $A_k(x)=p(x)A_{k-1}(x)(q(x)+\sum_{i=0}^k A_i(x))$ for $k\geq r+1$ where $A_i(x)$, $0\leq i \leq r$, are some given functions and show how to obtain a close form for $A(x)=\sum_{k\geq 0}A_k(x)$. We apply…
We introduce a new generalisation of partitions, multi-grounded partitions, related to ground state paths indexed by dominant weights of Lie algebras. We use these to express characters of irreducible highest weight modules of Kac-Moody…
We consider a variation of Dyck paths, where additionally to steps $(1,1)$ and $(1,-1)$ down-steps $(1,-j)$, for $j\ge2$ are allowed. We give credits to Emeric Deutsch for that. The enumeration of such objects living in a strip is…
We review and motivate recently-observed relationships between exactly solvable lattice models and modular representations of Hecke algebras. Firstly, we describe how the set of $n$-regular partitions label both of the following classes of…
In this paper, we enumerate lattice paths with certain constraints and apply the corresponding results to develop formulas for calculating the dimensions of submodules of a class of modules for planar upper triangular rook monoids. In…
We define $(k,\ell)$-restricted Lukasiewicz paths, $k\le\ell\in\mathbb{N}_0$, and use these paths as models of polymer adsorption. We write down a polynomial expression satisfied by the generating function for arbitrary values of…
