There are $k$ kinds of length $k$ hooks with different arm length. Actually, this $k$ kinds appear uniformly in Young diagrams of size $n$. The property ``appear uniformly'' is called super symmetric. We give a combinatorial proof of the…
The skew of a binary string is the difference between the number of zeroes and the number of ones, while the length of the string is the sum of these two numbers. We consider certain suffixes of the lexicographically-least de Bruijn…
We give upper and lower bounds on the largest singular value of a matrix using analogues to walks in graphs. For nonnegative matrices these bounds are asymptotically tight. In particular, we improve a bound due to I. Schur.
Let $Y$ be a projective submanifold of the total space of the inverse of a very ample line bundle $\pi:L^{-1}\rightarrow B$ over a projective manifold $B$. Any section of $L^{-1}\rightarrow B$ is isomorphic to $B$ and the Hodge numbers of…
We present two results concerning the relation between poles and cuts by using the example of N=1 U(N_c) gauge theories with matter fields in the adjoint, fundamental and anti-fundamental representations. The first result is the on-shell…
A specialisation of a transformation formula for multi-dimensional elliptic hypergeometric series is used to provide compact, non-determinantal formulae for the generating function with respect to the major index of standard Young tableaux…
We give an elementary proof of the recent hook inequality given in [MPP3]: $\prod_{u\in \lambda} h(u) \, \le \, \prod_{u\in \lambda} h^\ast(u),$ where $h(u)$ is the usual hook in Young diagram $\lambda$, and $h^\ast(i,j)=i+j-1$. We then…
In this paper the elliptic genus for a general Calabi-Yau fourfold is derived. The recent work of Kawai calculating N=2 heterotic string one-loop threshold corrections with a Wilson line turned on is extended to a similar computation where…
We give a stereological version of the Gauss-Bonnet formula in order to compute the Euler characteristic of a domain with boundary in a smooth orientable surface in R^3, by looking at contacts with a "sweeping" plane.
We derive a short wave length approximation of a boundary integral operator for two-dimensional isotropic and homogeneous elastic bodies of arbitrary shape. Trace formulae for elastodynamics can be deduced in this way from first principles…
An asymptotic formula with a square root error term is obtained for the number of elements with given trace and norm in a finite semisimple algebra over a finite field. This extends previous results from finite etale algebras (commutative…
We introduce the notion of the cutting strip of an outside decomposition of a skew shape, and show that cutting strips are in one-to-one correspondence with outside decompositions for a given skew shape. Outside decompositions are…
A tableau inversion is a pair of entries from the same column of a row-standard tableau that lack the relative ordering necessary to make the tableau column-standard. An $i$-inverted Young tableau is a row-standard tableau with precisely…
We study a family of tree-type diagrams that arise in studies of the cumulant expansion in discrete Erd\H os-R\'enyi random matrix models. Using a version of the Pr\" ufer code, we obtain an explicit expression for the number of tree-type…
Computing the crossing number of a graph is one of the most classical problems in computational geometry. Both it and numerous variations of the problem have been studied, and overcoming their frequent computational difficulty is an active…
Rigged configurations are known to provide action-angle variables for remarkable discrete dynamical systems known as box-ball systems. We conjecture an explicit piecewise-linear formula to obtain the shapes of a rigged configuration from a…
Two-side estimates for two-weighted discrete Hardy-type operators on a tree are obtained. For general weights we prove the discrete analogue of Evans - Harris - Pick theorem (it is a quite simple consequence from their result). It gives the…
We prove Stanley's conjecture that, if delta_n is the staircase shape, then the skew Schur functions s_{delta_n / mu} are non-negative sums of Schur P-functions. We prove that the coefficients in this sum count certain fillings of shifted…
When a flat elastic strip is compressed along its axis, it is bent in one of two possible directions via spontaneous symmetry breaking and forms a cylindrical arc, a phenomenon well known as Euler buckling. When this cylindrical section is…
A notion of cyclic descents on standard Young tableaux (SYT) of rectangular shape was introduced by Rhoades, and extended to certain skew shapes by the last two authors. The cyclic descent set restricts to the usual descent set when the…
