This paper proves a combinatorial rule giving all maximal and minimal partitions $\lambda$ such that the Schur function $s_\lambda$ appears in a plethysm of two arbitrary Schur functions. Determining the decomposition of these plethysms has…

We define a new basis of quasisymmetric functions, the row-strict dual immaculate functions, as the generating function of a particular set of tableaux. We establish that this definition gives a function that can also be obtained by…

We show the equivalence of the Pieri formula for flag manifolds and certain identities among the structure constants, giving new proofs of both the Pieri formula and of these identities. A key step is the association of a symmetric function…

Heckman and Opdam introduced a non-symmetric analogue of Jack polynomials using Cherednik operators. In this paper, we derive a simple recursion formula for these polynomials and formulas relating the symmetric Jack polynomials with the…

Chen proposed a conjecture on the log-concavity of the generating function for the symmetric group with respect to the length of longest increasing subsequences of permutations. Motivated by Chen's log-concavity conjecture, B\'{o}na,…

Yoshida's Conjecture formulated by H. Yoshida in 1989 states that in $\mathbb{C}^{2N}$ equipped with the canonical symplectic form $\mathrm{d}\mathbf{p} \wedge \mathrm{d} \mathbf{q},$ the Hamiltonian flow corresponding to the Hamiltonian…

The present paper is a detailed version of math/0003031. We introduce and study a new basis in the algebra of symmetric functions. The elements of this basis are called the Frobenius-Schur functions (FS-functions, for short). Our main…

Major Percy A. MacMahon's first paper on plane partitions included a conjectured generating function for symmetric plane partitions. This conjecture was proven almost simultaneously by George Andrews and Ian Macdonald, Andrews using the…

We compute the delta power operation for morava E-theory of height 2 at the prime 3. The delta power operation was defined using the notion of higher semi additivity by Shachar Carmeli, Tomer M. Schlank and Lior Yanovski. We briefly survey…

We propose a new method to calculate expectation values of a delta function of the Hamiltonian, < \Psi \mid \delta(\hat{H} - E)\mid \Psi >. Since the delta function can be replaced with a Gaussian function, we evaluate < \Psi \mid…

Lam, Lee, and Shimozono introduced the double Stanley symmetric functions in their study of the equivariant geometry of the affine Grassmannian. They proved that the associated double Edelman--Greene coefficients, the double Schur expansion…

Sun, in 2022, introduced a conjectured evaluation for a series of convergence rate $\frac{1}{2}$ involving harmonic numbers. We prove both this conjecture and a stronger version of this conjecture, using a summation technique based on a…

We show that the shifted rank, or srank, of any partition $\lambda$ with distinct parts equals the lowest degree of the terms appearing in the expansion of Schur's $Q_{\lambda}$ function in terms of power sum symmetric functions. This gives…

In this article we prove the $e$-positivity of $G_{\mathbf{\nu}}[X;q+1]$ when $G_{\mathbf{\nu}}[X;q]$ is a vertical strip LLT polynomial. This property has been conjectured by Alexandersson and Panova, and by Garsia, Haglund, Qiu and…

We use dual equivalence to give a short, combinatorial proof that Stanley symmetric functions are Schur positive. We introduce weak dual equivalence, and use it to give a short, combinatorial proof that Schubert polynomials are key…

We prove the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture, in its common graph theoretic formulation. Our original approach to this conjecture used cohomology of sheaves on graphs, although here we give a short combinatorial proof that we found in…

We first give a combinatorial proof of Stanley's shuffle theorem by using the insertion lemma of Haglund, Loehr and Remmel. Based on this combinatorial construction, we establish several refinements of Stanley's shuffle theorem.
