Demazure characters, also known as key polynomials, generalize the classical Schur polynomials. In particular, when all variables are set equal to $1$, these polynomials count the number of integer points in a certain class of…
We identify the dimension of the centralizer of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_d$ in the partition algebra $\mathcal{A}_d(\delta)$ and in the Brauer algebra $\mathcal{B}_d(\delta)$ with the number of multidigraphs with $d$ arrows and the…
We present a Hilbert space geometric approach to the problem of characterizing the positive bivariate trigonometric polynomials that can be represented as the square of a two variable polynomial possessing a certain stability requirement,…
We study correlation functions of the characteristic polynomials in coupled matrix models based on the Schur polynomial expansion, which manifests their determinantal structure.
Schur superpolynomials have been introduced recently as limiting cases of the Macdonald superpolynomials. It turns out that there are two natural super-extensions of the Schur polynomials: in the limit $q=t=0$ and $q=t\rightarrow\infty$,…
We introduce an insertion algorithm on Kohnert's combinatorial model for Demazure characters, generalizing Robinson--Schensted--Knuth insertion on tableaux. Our new insertion yields an explicit, nonnegative formula expressing the product of…
We study an action of the skew divided difference operators on the Schubert polynomials and give an explicit formula for structural constants for the Schubert polynomials in terms of certain weighted paths in the Bruhat order on the…
In this article we continue the study of holonomic modules over sheaves of Cherednik algebras, initiated by the third author in [Tho18]. Working with arbitrary parameters, we first develop a theory of $b$-functions to prove that…
We introduce a real-parameter refinement of the classical integer hierarchies underlying Schmidt number, block-positivity, and $k$-positivity for maps between matrix algebras. Starting from a compact family of $\alpha$-admissible unit…
Classical Schur P-functions are the particular case of Hall-Littlewood polynomials when the parameter is equal to -1. We introduce factorial (interpolation) analogues of Schur P-functions. A dimension of a skew shifted Young diagram is the…
We study the notion of essential dimension for a linear representation of a finite group. In characteristic zero we relate it to the canonical dimension of certain products of Weil transfers of generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. We then…
Stable Grothendieck polynomials can be viewed as a K-theory analog of Schur polynomials. We extend stable Grothendieck polynomials to a two-parameter version, which we call canonical stable Grothendieck functions. These functions have the…
An attempt is described to extend the notion of Schur functions from Young diagrams to plane partitions. The suggestion is to use the recursion in the partition size, which is easily generalized and deformed. This opens a possibility to…
Recently, Stull [18], [17] resolved a long-standing open problem posed by Lutz, on whether the set of effective Hausdorff dimensions of points on a straight line in $\mathbb{R}^2$ -- the effective dimension spectrum of the line -- contains…
The dynamics of many systems from physics, economics, chemistry, and biology can be modelled through polynomial functions. In this paper, we provide a computational means to find positively invariant sets of polynomial dynamical systems by…
We prove that the only entrywise transforms of rectangular matrices which preserve total positivity or total non-negativity are either constant or linear. This follows from an extended classification of preservers of these two properties…
In 1976 Procesi and Schacher developed an Artin-Schreier type theory for central simple algebras with involution and conjectured that in such an algebra a totally positive element is always a sum of hermitian squares. In this paper…
We show that sequences of skew Schur polynomials obtained from stretched semi-standard Young tableaux satisfy a linear recurrence, which we give explicitly. Using this, we apply this to finding certain asymptotic behavior of these Schur…
The existence of conservative quasipolynomial (QP) maps is investigated. A classification is given for dimensions two and three, and the analytical solution of the former case is constructed. General properties of n-dimensional QP…
Every polynomial of the form $P=(x+1)(x^{n-1}+c_1x^{n-2}+\cdots +c_{n-1})$ is representable as Schur-Szeg\H{o} composition of $n-1$ polynomials of the form $(x+1)^{n-1}(x+a_i)$, where the numbers $a_i$ are unique up to permutation. We give…
