In this note, we study a question introduced by Bourin \cite{2009Matrix} and partially solve the question of Bourin. In fact, for t\in[0,\frac{1}{4}]\cup[\frac{3}{4},1], we show that |||x^{t}y^{1-t}+y^{t}x^{1-t}|||\leq|||x+y|||, where…

Let $p(z)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$, with complex coefficients, and let $q(z)$ be its monic factor. We prove an asymptotically sharp inequality of the form $\|q\|_{E} \le C^n \|p\|_E$, where $\|\cdot\|_E$ denotes the sup norm on…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, for $p$ multilinear, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of $n$ by…

In this paper, we introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials which depends on a parameter r. They are defined by specifying certain of their zeros. For the parameter values 1/2, 1, and 2 they have an interpretation in terms of Capelli…

Barvinok introduced the symmetrized determinant ($\sdet$) as a \emph{non-commutative} analogue of the determinant. Intuitively, given a square matrix over an associative algebra, we can obtain the symmetrized determinant by averaging over…

The Bohnenblust--Hille inequality says that the $\ell^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}$-norm of the coefficients of an $m$-homogeneous polynomial $P$ on $\C^n$ is bounded by $\| P\|_\infty$ times a constant independent of $n$, where $\|\cdot \|_\infty$…

The scalar difference equation $x_{n+1}=f_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k})$ may exhibit symmetries in its form that allow for reduction of order through substitution or a change of variables. Such form symmetries can be defined generally…

A non-homogeneous conormal derivative problem is considered for quasilinear divergence form elliptic equations modeled on the $m$-Laplacian operator. The nonlinear terms are given by Carath\'eodory functions and satisfy controlled growth…

The one-variable non-symmetric Wilson polynomials are shown to coincide with the Bannai-Ito polynomials. The isomorphism between the corresponding degenerate double affine Hecke algebra of type $(C_1^{\vee}, C_1)$ and the Bannai-Ito algebra…

Following the various statements of [DW16] to their logical conclusion, this note explicitly argues the following statement, implicit in [DW16]: for positive semi-definite operators $C_{1},\ldots,\,C_{L} $, a unitary $V_{C_{i}}$ commuting…

By the von Neumann inequality for homogeneous polynomials there exists a positive constant $C_{k,q}(n)$ such that for every $k$-homogeneous polynomial $p$ in $n$ variables and every $n$-tuple of commuting operators $(T_1, \dots, T_n)$ with…

We study the geometry of the image of the nonnegative orthant under the power-sum map and the elementary symmetric polynomials map. After analyzing the image in finitely many variables, we concentrate on the limit as the number of variables…

We define Ptolemy coordinates for representations that are not necessarily boundary-unipotent. This gives rise to a new algorithm for computing the SL(2,C) A-polynomial, and more generally the SL(n,C) A-varieties. We also give a formula for…

Polynomials which afford nonnegative, real-rooted symmetric decompositions have been investigated recently in algebraic, enumerative and geometric combinatorics. Br\"and\'en and Solus have given sufficient conditions under which the image…

Let $G$ be an unicyclic graph of order $n$ and let $Q_G(x)= det(xI-Q(G))={matrix} \sum_{i=1}^n (-1)^i \varphi_i x^{n-i}{matrix}$ be the characteristic polynomial of the signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$. We give some transformations…

The polarization decomposition of arbitrary binary-input memoryless channels (BMCs) is studied in this work. By introducing the polarization factor (PF), defined in terms of the conditional entropy of the channel output under various input…

We introduce the price of symmetrisation, a concept that aims to compare fundamental differences (gap and quotient) between values of a given graph invariant for digraphs and the values of the same invariant of the symmetric versions of…

In a celebrated work by Hoeffding [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 58 (1963) 13-30], several inequalities for tail probabilities of sums M_n=X_1+... +X_n of bounded independent random variables X_j were proved. These inequalities had a…

We study the spaces $Q_m$ of $m$-quasi-invariant polynomials of the symmetric group $S_n$ in characteristic $p$. Using the representation theory of the symmetric group we describe the Hilbert series of $Q_m$ for $n=3$, proving a conjecture…

We prove two criteria for direct sum decomposability of homogeneous polynomials. For a homogeneous polynomial with a non-zero discriminant, we interpret direct sum decomposability of the polynomial in terms of factorization properties of…
