A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…
Turner's Conjecture describes all blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras up to derived equivalence in terms of certain double algebras. With a view towards a proof of this conjecture, we develop a general theory of Turner doubles. In…
We study several consequences of the packing problem, a conjecture from combinatorial optimization, using algebraic invariants of square-free monomial ideals. While the packing problem is currently unresolved, we successfully settle the…
We prove two "master" convolution theorems for multivariate determinantal polynomials. The methods used include basic properties of what we call a "minor-orthogonal" ensemble as well as properties of the mixed discriminant of matrices. We…
Associated to each random variable $Y$ having a finite moment generating function, we introduce a different generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some characterizations and specific examples of such generalized numbers…
We present a restricted variable generalization of Warning's Second Theorem (a result giving a lower bound on the number of solutions of a low degree polynomial system over a finite field, assuming one solution exists). This is analogous to…
In a recent work, Andrews gave analytic proofs of two conjectures concerning some variations of two combinatorial identities between partitions of a positive integer into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts discovered by Beck.…
We prove a series of Stephan's conjectures concerning Pascal triangle modulo 2 and give a polynomial generalization.
We show, assuming Schanuel's conjecture, that every irreducible complex polynomial in two variables where both variables appear has infinitely many algebraically independent solutions of the form (z,e^z).
In this paper we consider the notions of binomial thinning, binomial mixing, their generalizations, certain interplay between them, associated limit theorems and provide various examples.
A construction of new sequences of generalized Bernoulli polynomials of first and second kind is proposed. These sequences share with the classical Bernoulli polynomials many algebraic and number--theoretical properties. A new class of…
Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…
We present an analogue of the differential calculus in which the role of polynomials is played by certain ordered sets and trees. Our combinatorial calculus has all nice features of the usual calculus and has an advantage that the elements…
We present two related conjectures, arising in work on i-matchings in random r-regular bipartite graphs. The conjectures themselves are easily stated and involve only basic properties of convergent power series. One formulation involves…
We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…
We give a bracket polynomial expression for intermediate terms between discriminant and resultant for pair of binary forms. As an application of the bracket polynomial expression, we give an algebraic proof of the algebraic independence of…
Generalised polynomials are maps constructed by applying the floor function, addition, and multiplication to polynomials. Despite superficial similarity, generalised polynomials exhibit many phenomena which are impossible for polynomials.…
We prove that for almost square tensor product grids and certain sets of bivariate polynomials the Vandermonde determinant can be factored into a product of univariate Vandermonde determinants. This result generalizes the conjecture [Lemma…
We prove two generalisations of the Binomial theorem that are also generalisations of the q-binomial theorem. These generalisations arise from the commutation relations satisfied by the components of the co-multiplications of non-simple…
In the present paper we generalize the Eulerian numbers (also of the second and third orders). The generalization is connected with an autonomous first-order differential equation, solutions of which are used to obtain integral…
