In this paper, we prove the real-rootedness of two classes of generalized Narayana polynomials: one arising as the $h$-polynomials of the generalized associahedron associated to the finite Weyl groups, the other arising in the study of the…
We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials,…
Using equivariant cohomology theory, Naruse obtained a hook length formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape $\lambda/\mu$. Morales, Pak and Panova found two $q$-analogues of Naruse's formula respectively by counting…
We show that Narayana polynomials are a specialization of row Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. Using lambda-ring calculus, we generalize to Narayana polynomials the formulas of Koshy and Jonah for Catalan numbers.
The generalized Narayana polynomials $N_{n,m}(x)$ arose from the study of infinite log-concavity of the Boros-Moll polynomials. The real-rootedness of $N_{n,m}(x)$ had been proved by Chen, Yang and Zhang. They also showed that when $n\geq…
In the theory of Lie groups, the irreducibility of a unitary representation is not preserved in general by restriction to a subgroup. Kirillov's conjecture says that it is preserved for the groups Gl(n,R) or Gl(n,C) when the subgroup is the…
In this paper we give a direct proof of the equality of certain generating function associated with tensor product multiplicities of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules for each simple Lie algebra g. Together with the theorems of Nakajima and…
We introduce a refinement of Boolean-Catalan numbers and call them Boolean-Narayana numbers. We provide an explicit formula for these numbers, and prove unimodality, log-concavity, and real-roots-only results for their sequences. We also…
The generating functions of some sequences of Catalan numbers and Narayana polynomials have simple expansions as continued fractions of Jacobi type. We give an overview of these facts and prove analogous results for q-Narayana polynomials…
B\'ona conjectured that the descent polynomials on $(n-2)$-stack sortable permutations have only real zeros. Br\"and\'en proved this conjecture by establishing a more general result. In this paper, we give another proof of Br\"and\'en's…
Lusztig's fake degree is the generating polynomial for the major index of standard Young tableaux of a given shape. Results of Springer and James & Kerber imply that, mysteriously, its evaluation at a $k$-th primitive root of unity yields…
We completely characterize the unimodal category for functions $f:\mathbb R\to[0,\infty)$ using a decomposition theorem obtained by generalizing the sweeping algorithm of Baryshnikov and Ghrist. We also give a characterization of the…
Kanade explored the construction of modular companions to $q$-series identities, using the asymptotics of Nahm sums, and Mizuno [Ramanujan J.\ {\bf 66} (2025), Paper No.\ 62, 31] recently obtained a generalization of Kanade's asymptotic…
We provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a standard Young tableau of a given shape and major index $r$ mod $n$, for all $r$. Our result generalizes the $r=1$ case due essentially to (1974) and proves a…
In the present paper we find a new interpretation of Narayana polynomials N_n(x) which are the generating polynomials for the Narayana numbers N_{n,k} counting Dyck paths of length n and with exactly k peaks. Strangely enough Narayana…
The problem of writing real zero polynomials as determinants of linear matrix polynomials has recently attracted a lot of attention. Helton and Vinnikov have proved that any real zero polynomial in two variables has a determinantal…
In this note, by counting some colored plane trees we obtain several binomial identities. These identities can be viewed as specific evaluations of certain generalizations of the Narayana polynomials. As consequences, it provides…
We prove the Kirillov-Reshetikhin conjecture for all untwisted quantum affine algebras : we prove that the character of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules solve the Q-system and we give an explicit formula for the character of their tensor…
For the exceptional types $E_6$, $E_7$, and $E_8$, we prove that the specializations at roots of unity of the quantum dimensions of the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules give real solutions of $\ell$-restricted $Q$-systems, as conjectured by…
In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…
