In this paper, we introduce the enough $g$-pairs property for a principal coefficients cluster algebra, which can be understood as a strong version of the sign-coherence of the $G$-matrices. Then we prove that any skew-symmetrizable…

We begin a systematic study of positivity and moment problems in an equivariant setting. Given a reductive group $G$ over $\R$ acting on an affine $\R$-variety $V$, we consider the induced dual action on the coordinate ring $\R[V]$ and on…

Motivated by the work of Visontai and Dey-Sivasubramanian on the gamma-positivity of some polynomials, we find the commutative property of a pair of Eulerian operators. As an application, we show the bi-gamma-positivity of the descent…

We use character polynomials to obtain a positive combinatorial interpretation of the multiplicity of the sign representation in irreducible polynomial representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ indexed by two-column and hook partitions. Our…

In this article we study smooth families of stratified bundles in positive characteristic and the variation of their monodromy group.Our aim is, in particular, to strengthen the weak form of the positive equicharacteristic $p$-curvature…

In 1878, Sylvester proved Cayley's Conjecture that the coefficients of the Gaussian $q$-binomial coefficients are unimodal. In 1990, O'Hara famously discovered a constructive combinatorial proof, and in 2013, Pak and Panova proved the…

We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials $\mathfrak{G}^{(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v})}_{\lambda}$ arising from exactly solvable lattice models associated with the quantised loop algebra $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2}[z^\pm])$. The…

Let F be a finite extension of Qp and G be GL(2,F). When V is the tensor product of three admissible, irreducible, finite dimensional representations of G, the space of G-invariant linear forms has dimension at most one. When a non zero…

We determine when a permutation with cycle type $\mu$ admits a non-zero invariant vector in the irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of the symmetric group. We find that a majority of pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ have this property, with only a…

By a very simple argument, we prove that if $l,m,n$ are nonnegative integers then $$\sum_{k=0}^l(-1)^{m-k}\binom{l}{k}\binom{m-k}{n}\binom{2k}{k-2l+m} =\sum_{k=0}^l\binom{l}{k}\binom{2k}{n}\binom{n-l}{m+n-3k-l}. On the basis of this…

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

Let V be a complex vector space with basis {x_1,x_2,...,x_n} and G be a finite subgroup of GL(V). The tensor algebra T(V) over the complex is isomorphic to the polynomials in the non-commutative variables x_1, x_2,..., x_n with complex…

It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…

We study divisibility properties of certain sums and alternating sums involving binomial coefficients and powers of integers. For example, we prove that for all positive integers $n_1,..., n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any nonnegative integer…

Following earlier work by Coons-Maraj-Misra-Sorea and Misra-Sullivant, we study colored, undirected Gaussian graphical models, and present a necessary and sufficient condition for such a model to have binomial vanishing ideal. These…

The Sun polynomials $g_n(x)$ are defined by \begin{align*} g_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}^2{2k\choose k}x^k. \end{align*} We prove that, for any positive integer $n$, there hold \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(4k+3)g_k(x)…

We will prove several congruences modulo a power of a prime such as $$ \sum_{0<k_1<...<k_{n}<p}\leg{p-k_{n}}{3} {(-1)^{k_{n}}\over k_1... k_{n}}\equiv {lll} -{2^{n+1}+2\over 6^{n+1}} p B_{p-n-1}({1\over 3}) &\pmod{p^2} &{if $n$ is odd}…

We study multiplicities of unipotent characters in tensor products of unipotent characters of GL(n,q). We prove that these multiplicities are polynomials in q with non-negative integer coefficients. We study the degree of these polynomials…

We generalize our puzzle formula for ordinary Schubert calculus on Grassmannians, to a formula for the T-equivariant Schubert calculus. The structure constants to be calculated are polynomials in {y_{i+1} - y_i}; they were shown…

The descent polynomials of separable permutations and derangements are both demonstrated to be unimodal. Moreover, we prove that the $\gamma$-coefficients of the first are positive with an interpretation parallel to the classical Eulerian…
