The binomial Eulerian polynomials, introduced by Postnikov, Reiner, and Williams, are $\gamma$-positive polynomials and can be interpreted as $h$-polynomials of certain flag simplicial polytopes. Recently, Athanasiadis studied analogs of…
As part of the development of the orbit method, Kirillov has counted the number of strictly upper triangular matrices with coefficients in a finite field of $q$ elements and fixed Jordan type. One obtains polynomials with respect to $q$…

There is a space of vector-valued nonsymmetric Jack polynomials associated with any irreducible representation of a symmetric group. Singular polynomials for the smallest singular values are constructed in terms of the Jack polynomials. The…
The classical Beauville-Bogomolov Decomposition Theorem asserts that any compact K\"ahler manifold with numerically trivial canonical bundle admits an \'etale cover that decomposes into a product of a torus, and irreducible,…
A natural generating set for a Galois extension regarded as the splitting field of an irreducible polynomial is introduced and investigated here. Minimal generating sets arising in this context throw many surprises compared to the analogous…
We prove that all zeros of the polynomials orthogonal with respect to a measure $d \mu(x;a) = d \mu(x) + M \delta(x-a)$, where $d\mu$ is a nonatomic positive Borel measure and $M>0$, are increasing functions of the mass point $a$. Thus we…
We study the irreducibility of Wronskian Hermite polynomials labelled by partitions. It is known that these polynomials factor as a power of x times a remainder polynomial. We show that the remainder polynomial is irreducible for the…
We present a common sufficient condition for the total positivity of combinatorial triangles and their reversals, as well as the real-rootedness of generating functions of the rows. The proof technique is to construct a unified planar…
We give a counting formula for the set of rectangular increasing tableaux in terms of generalized Narayana numbers. We define small $m$-Schr\"oder paths and give a bijection between the set of increasing rectangular tableaux and small…
This paper deals with sequences of random variables $X_n$ only taking values in $\{0,\ldots,n\}$. The probability generating functions of such random variables are polynomials of degree $n$. Under the assumption that the roots of these…
Gao and Xie (2021) conjectured that the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of any matroid is log-concave. Although the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial may not always have only real roots, we conjecture that the Hadamard product of an…
We investigate complement-finite submonoids of the monoid of nonnegative integer points of a unipotent linear algebraic group $G$. These monoids are in general noncommutative but they specialize to the generalized numerical monoids of…
We study the recursion (aka Schur) parameters for monic polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to a weight which provides negative answer to the conjecture of Steklov.
In algebraic, topological, and geometric combinatorics inequalities among the coefficients of combinatorial polynomials are frequently studied. Recently a notion called the alternatingly increasing property, which is stronger than…
A conjecture of I. Krasikov is proved. Several discrete analogues of classical polynomial inequalities are derived, along with results which allow extensions to a class of transcendental entire functions in the Laguerre-P\'olya class.
Consider a random system $\mathfrak{f}_1(x)=0,\ldots,\mathfrak{f}_n(x)=0$ of $n$ random real polynomials in $n$ variables, where each $\mathfrak{f}_k$ has a prescribed set of exponent vectors in a set $A_k\subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ of size…
We show that the dilogarithm has at most one zero on each branch, that each zero is close to a root of unity, and that they may be found to any precision with Newton's method. This work is motivated by applications to the asymptotics of…
We study the uniformization conjecture of Yau by using the Gromov-Haudorff convergence. As a consequence, we confirm Yau's finite generation conjecture. More precisely, on a complete noncompact K\"ahler manifold with nonnegative bisectional…
Although the Unimodality Conjecture holds for some certain classes of cubical polytopes (e.g. cubes, capped cubical polytopes, neighborly cubical polytopes), it fails for cubical polytopes in general. A 12-dimensional cubical polytope with…
