We investigate the deformed Schur index in four dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theories with $SO$ and $Sp$ gauge groups, generalizing Hatsuda's recent calculations. We express the deformed Schur index as integrals of Koornwinder…
For a $(3+1)$-free poset $P$, we define a hybrid of $P$-tableaux and cylindric tableaux called cylindric $P$-tableaux. We introduce $P$-analogs of cylindric Schur functions, defined by a determinantal formula, and prove that they are the…
The Schur functions, a basis for the symmetric polynomials (Sym), encode the irreducible representations of the symmetric group, $\mathfrak{S}_n$, via the Frobenius characteristic map. In 1996, Krob and Thibon defined a quasisymmetric…
We begin by deriving an action of the 0-Hecke algebra on standard reverse composition tableaux and use it to discover 0-Hecke modules whose quasisymmetric characteristics are the natural refinements of Schur functions known as…
We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{\lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the…
The ring of symmetric functions occupies a central place in algebraic combinatorics, with a particularly notable role in Schubert calculus, where the standard cell decompositions of Grassmannians yield the celebrated family of Schur…
We construct a non-commutative, non-cocommutative, graded bialgebra $\mathbf{\Pi}$ with a basis indexed by the permutations in all finite symmetric groups. Unlike the formally similar Malvenuto-Poirier-Reutenauer Hopf algebra, this…
Lam and Pylyavskyy introduced loop symmetric functions as a generalization of symmetric functions. They defined loop Schur functions as generating functions over semistandard tableaux with respect to a `colored weight,' and they proved a…
We extend the approach to ${\tau}$-functions as Widom constants developed by Cafasso, Gavrylenko and Lisovyy to orthogonal loop group Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies and isomonodromic deformations systems. The combinatorial expansion of the…
The Schur index in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory with $U(N)$ gauge group has a natural two-parameter deformation. We find that a matrix integral in such a deformed Schur index can be exactly evaluated by using…
We give the formula for multiplying a Schubert class on an odd orthogonal or symplectic flag manifold by a special Schubert class pulled back from a Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces. This is also the formula for multiplying a…
The dual stable Grothendieck polynomials $g_\lambda$ and their sums $\sum_{\mu\subset\lambda} g_\mu$ (which represent $K$-homology classes of boundary ideal sheaves and structure sheaves of Schubert varieties in the Grassmannians) have the…
We define eventually symmetric functions to be those power series of bounded degree in infinitely many variables that are invariant under interchanging all the variables with large enough indices. We show how this ring $\tilde{\Lambda}$ is…
Macdonald superpolynomials provide a remarkably rich generalization of the usual Macdonald polynomials. The starting point of this work is the observation of a previously unnoticed stability property of the Macdonald superpolynomials when…
Consider the algebra Q<<x_1,x_2,...>> of formal power series in countably many noncommuting variables over the rationals. The subalgebra Pi(x_1,x_2,...) of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables consists of all elements invariant…
Stanley recently introduced the shifted parking function symmetric function $SH_n$, which is the shiftification of Haiman's parking function symmetric function $PF_n$. The function $SH_n$ lives in the subalgebra of symmetric functions…
We introduce a new basis of the non-commutative symmetric functions whose commutative images are Schur functions. Dually, we build a basis of the quasi-symmetric functions which expand positively in the fundamental quasi-symmetric functions…
The variety of complete quadrics is the wonderful compactification of $GL_n/O_n$ and admits a cell decomposition into Borel orbits indexed by combinatorial objects called $\mu$-involutions. We study Coxeter-theoretic properties of…
This paper is devoted to the study of general (Laurent) polynomial modifications of moment functionals on the unit circle, i.e., associated with hermitian Toeplitz matrices. We present a new approach which allows us to study polynomial…
The "back-stabilization number" for products of Schubert polynomials is the distance the corresponding permutations must be shifted before the structure constants stabilize. We give an explicit formula for this number and thereby prove a…
