We provide a generalization of the Littlewood identity, both sides of which are related to alternating sign matrices. The classical Littlewood identity establishes a nice product formula for the sum of all Schur polynomials. Compared to the…
An attempt is described to extend the notion of Schur functions from Young diagrams to plane partitions. The suggestion is to use the recursion in the partition size, which is easily generalized and deformed. This opens a possibility to…
We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…
We analyse partitions of products with two ordered factors in two classes where both factors are countable or well-ordered and at least one of them is countable. This relates the partition properties of these products to cardinal…
We identify a recursive structure among factorizations of polynomial values into two integer factors. Polynomials for which this recursive structure characterizes all non-trivial representations of integer factorizations of the polynomial…
Let G be a block matrix function with one diagonal block A being positive definite and the off diagonal blocks complex conjugates of each other. Conditions are obtained for G to be factorable (in particular, with zero partial indices) in…
This article is an extensive study of partitions with fixed number of odd and even-indexed odd parts. We use these partitions to generalize recent results of C. Savage and A. Sills. Moreover, we derive explicit formulas for generating…
We introduce a class of $f(t)$-factorials, or $f(t)$-Pochhammer symbols, that includes many, if not most, well-known factorial and multiple factorial function variants as special cases. We consider the combinatorial properties of the…
Considering Schur positivity of differences of plethysms of homogeneous symmetric functions, we introduce a new relation on integer partitions. This relation is conjectured to be a partial order, with its restriction to one part partitions…
We present a new partition identity and give a combinatorial proof of our result. This generalizes a result of Andrew's in which he considers the generation function for partitions with respect to size, number of odd parts, and number of…
We associate a complete intersection singularity to a graded matrix factorization of size two of a polynomial in three variables. We show that we get an inverse to the reduction of singularities considered by C.T.C.Wall. We study this for…
We prove two identities of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, which appeared recently in a paper by two of the authors. We also conjecture, and in some cases prove, new identities which relate infinite sums of symmetric polynomials and partition…
Recently, Hirschhorn and Sellers defined the partition function $a_r(n)$, which counts the number of partitions of $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color, while the odd parts may appear in one of $r$-colors for fixed $r\ge1$. The aim…
For a fixed integer $t \geq 2$, we consider the irreducible characters of representations of the classical groups of types A, B, C and D, namely $\text{GL}_{tn}, \text{SO}_{2tn+1}, \text{Sp}_{2tn}$ and $\text{O}_{2tn}$, evaluated at…
We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…
The ordinary factorial may be written in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind as shown by Quaintance and Gould and the odd double factorial in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first kind as shown by Callan. During the…
We develop a new framework to compute the exact correlators of characteristic polynomials, and their inverses, in random matrix theory. Our results hold for general potentials and incorporate the effects of an external source. In matrix…
In math.CO/0109093 the author obtained a formula for the value of an irreducible symmetric group character indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. In the present paper this formula is (conjecturally) generalized to arbitrary shapes.
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras which we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of (square or rectangular) matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras…
We prove combinatorially some identities related to Euler's partition identity (the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts). They were conjectured by Beck and proved by Andrews…
