In this essay I describe some new results of a framework for composite gravity coupled to matter. These include the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula, modifications to the low-$\ell$ moments of the CMB power spectrum, and new perspectives…
Combinatorial Hopf algebras give a linear algebraic structure to infinite families of combinatorial objects, a technique further enriched by the categorification of these structure via the representation theory of families of algebras. This…
We study enumeration functions for unimodal sequences of positive integers, where the size of a sequence is the sum of its terms. We survey known results for a number of natural variants of unimodal sequences, including Auluck's generalized…
In this paper we obtain general integral formulas for probabilities in the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the integer lattice with nearest neighbor hopping rates p to the right and q=1-p to the left. For the most part we…
This thesis provides an extension of the work of Dirk Kreimer and Alain Connes on the Hopf algebra structure of Feynman graphs and renormalization to general graphs. Additionally, an algebraic structure of the asymptotics of formal power…
We consider pairs of anti-commuting $2p$-by-$2p$ Hermitian matrices that are chosen randomly with respect to a Gaussian measure. Generically such a pair decomposes into the direct sum of $2$-by-$2$ blocks on which the first matrix has…
Renormalization group procedure for effective particles (RGPEP) is applied in terms of a second-order perturbative computation to an Abelian gauge theory, as an example of application worth studying on the way toward derivation of a…
Consider a lattice of n sites arranged around a ring, with the $n$ sites occupied by particles of weights $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$; the possible arrangements of particles in sites thus corresponds to the $n!$ permutations in $S_n$. The…
We answer a question of Bergeron, Hohlweg, Rosas, and Zabrocki from 2006 to give a combinatorial description for the coproduct of the x-basis in the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables, NCSym, which arises in the…
In this short note, using our geometric method introduced in a previous paper \cite{phl} and initiated by \cite{ave}, we derive an asymptotic swaption implied volatility at the first-order for a general stochastic volatility Libor Market…
This work introduces a new class of symmetric matrix structures, called harmonic structures, which enable the generation of all possible directed transitions $(x_i, x_{i+1})$ over a set of $n$ symbols, without internal repetitions. Unlike…
Four natural boundary statistics and two natural bulk statistics are considered for alternating sign matrices (ASMs). Specifically, these statistics are the positions of the 1's in the first and last rows and columns of an ASM, and the…
We present a construction for the composition of subsequential transducers (representing conditional probabilistic models) with subsequential failure transducers (representing probabilistic models). Under certain conditions, satisfied by…
In this paper we consider a model of particles jumping on a row of cells, called in physics the one dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP). More precisely we deal with the TASEP with open or periodic boundary conditions…
Recently, Naruse discovered a hook length formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of a skew shape. Morales, Pak and Panova found two $q$-analogs of Naruse's hook length formula over semistandard Young tableaux (SSYTs) and reverse…
We define and study a combinatorial Hopf algebra dRec with basis elements indexed by diagonal rectangulations of a square. This Hopf algebra provides an intrinsic combinatorial realization of the Hopf algebra tBax of twisted Baxter…
We establish a general variational formula for the logarithmic potential of the free additive convolution of two compactly supported probability measure on $\R$. The formula is given in terms of the $R$-transform of the first measure, and…
These notes accompany a lecture about the topology of symplectic (and other) quotients. The aim is two-fold: first to advertise the ease of computation in the symplectic category; and second to give an account of some new computations for…
This is an introduction to double algebras which is the structure modelled by the properties of the convolution product in Hopf algebras, weak Hopf algebras and in Hopf algebroids. We show that Hopf algebroids with a Frobenius integral can…
We consider certain modules of the symmetric groups whose basis elements are called tabloids. Some of these modules are isomorphic to subspaces of the cohomology rings of subvarieties of flag varieties as modules of the symmetric groups. We…
