We study a two-species PASEP, in which there are two types of particles, "heavy" and "light," hopping right and left on a one-dimensional lattice of $n$ cells with open boundaries. In this process, only the "heavy" particles can enter on…
Lattice walks are used to model various physical phenomena. In particular, walks within Weyl chambers connect directly to representation theory via the Littelmann path model. We derive asymptotics for centrally weighted lattice walks within…
The lattice polynomials $L_{i,j}(x)$ are introduced by Hough and Shapiro as a weighted count of certain lattice paths from the origin to the point $(i,j)$. In particular, $L_{2n, n}(x)$ reduces to the generating function of the numbers…
In this paper, we study representations of the vertex operator algebra $L(k,0)$ at one-third admissible levels $k= -5/3, -4/3, -2/3$ for the affine algebra of type $G_2^{(1)}$. We first determine singular vectors and then obtain a…
Under hypotheses required for the Taylor-Wiles method, we prove for forms of $U(3)$ which are compact at infinity that the lattice structure on upper alcove algebraic vectors or on principal series types given by the $\lambda$-isotypic part…
The path space of an inhomogeneous vertex model constructed from the vector representation of $U_q\bigl(gl(2|2)\bigr)$ and its dual is studied for various choices of composite vertices and assignments of $gl(2|2)$-weights. At $q=0$, the…
The goals of this article are as follows: (1) To determine the irreducible components of the affine varieties parametrizing the representations of $ \Lambda $ with dimension vector d, where $ \Lambda $ traces a major class of finite…
The paper is devoted to the study of lattice paths that consist of vertical steps $(0,-1)$ and non-vertical steps $(1,k)$ for some $k\in \mathbb Z$. Two special families of primary and free lattice paths with vertical steps are considered.…
Associated varieties are geometric objects appearing in infinite-dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras (groups). By applying Fourier transformations to the natural orthogonal oscillator representations of special linear Lie…
We study the Jacobi-Trudi-type determinant which is conjectured to be the q-character of a certain, in many cases irreducible, finite-dimensional representation of the quantum affine algebra of type D_n. Unlike the A_n and B_n cases, a…
We apply lattice point counting methods to compute the multiplicities in the plethysm of $GL(n)$. Our approach gives insight into the asymptotic growth of the plethysm and makes the problem amenable to computer algebra. We prove an old…
For any integers $k\geq 2$, $q\geq 1$ and any finite set $\mathcal{A}=\{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_1,\cdots,{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_q\}$, where ${ \boldsymbol{\alpha}_t}=(\alpha_{t,1},\cdots,\alpha_{t,k})~(1\leq t\leq q)$ with…
We give an example of geometric construction (via Hecke correspondences) of certain representations of the affine Lie algebra $\hat{gl}_n$. The construction is similar to the one of [FK] for the Lie algebra $sl_n$. Given a surface with a…
We consider maps on genus-$g$ surfaces with $n$ (labeled) faces of prescribed even degrees. It is known since work of Norbury that, if one disallows vertices of degree one, the enumeration of such maps is related to the counting of lattice…
Given a graph $G(V, E)$ and a positive integer $k$ ($k \geq 1$), a simple path on $k$ vertices is a sequence of $k$ vertices in which no vertex appears more than once and each consecutive pair of vertices in the sequence are connected by an…
We study the Jacobi-Trudi-type determinant which is conjectured to be the q-character of a certain, in many cases irreducible, finite-dimensional representation of the quantum affine algebra of type C_n. Like the D_n case studied by the…
We give a sufficient condition for a Littelmann path to represent a vector of extremal weight of an integrable irreducible highest weight representation of a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra. Thanks to this condition we present, in a more…
We address the problem of enumerating paths in square lattices, where allowed steps include (1,0) and (0,1) everywhere, and (1,1) above the diagonal y=x. We consider two such lattices differing in whether the (1,1) steps are allowed along…
There studed correspondence between symplectic leaves, irreducible representations and prime ideals, which is invariant with respect to quantum adjoint action. The Conjecture of De Concini-Kac-Procesi on dimensions of irreducible…
The Weyl-Kac character formula gives a beautiful closed-form expression for the characters of integrable highest-weight modules of Kac-Moody algebras. It is not, however, a formula that is combinatorial in nature, obscuring positivity. In…
