Inspired by Borcherds' questions, Guerzhoy constructed a new type of Hecke operators $\mathcal{T}(p)$, called the multiplicative Hecke operators, which acts on the space of meromorphic modular forms on the full modular group ${\rm SL}(\Z)$.…
The following thesis contains results on the combinatorial representation theory of the finite Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$. In Chapter 2 simple combinatorial descriptions are given which determine when a Specht module corresponding to a…
For a fixed polynomial $\Delta$, we study the number of polynomials $f$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb F_q$ such that $f$ and $f+\Delta$ are both irreducible, an $\mathbb F_q[T]$-analogue of the twin primes problem. In the large-$q$ limit, we…
We explore some connections between vectors of integers and integer partitions seen as bi-infinite words. This methodology enables us to give a combinatorial interpretation of the Macdonald identities for affine root systems of the seven…
Vogel's universality implies a unified description of the adjoint sector of representation theory for simple Lie algebras in terms of three parameters $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$, which are homogeneous coordinates of Vogel's plane. Actually this…
We give a combinatorial formula for the non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials E_{\mu}(x;q,t). The formula generalizes our previous combinatorial interpretation of the integral form symmetric Macdonald polynomials J_{\mu}(x;q,t). We prove the…
We construct type A partially-symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_{(\lambda \mid \gamma)}$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{n-k}$ is a partition and $\gamma \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^k$ is a composition. These are polynomials which are…
We analyze the structure of the algebra N of symmetric polynomials in non-commuting variables in so far as it relates to its commutative counterpart. Using the "place-action" of the symmetric group, we are able to realize the latter as the…
In this paper we consider the integral orthogonal group with respect to the quadratic form of signature $(2,3)$ given by $\left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{smallmatrix}\right) \perp \left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0…
We prove orthogonality and compute explicitly the (quadratic) norms for super-Jack polynomials $SP_\lambda((z_1,\ldots,z_n),(w_1,\ldots,w_m);\theta)$ with respect to a natural positive semi-definite, but degenerate, Hermitian product…
Symmetric Jack polynomials arise naturally in several contexts, including statistics, physics, combinatorics, and representation theory. They are pairwise orthogonal with repsect to two different inner products, the first defined by…
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…
We consider a mock modular form $M_{\Delta}(\tau)$ that arises naturally from Ramanujan's Delta-function. It is a weight $-10$ harmonic Maass form whose nonholomorphic part is the "period integral function'' of $\Delta(\tau)$. The Hecke…
The $q$-Whittaker function $W_\lambda(\mathbf{x};q)$ associated to a partition $\lambda$ is a $q$-analogue of the Schur function $s_\lambda(\mathbf{x})$, and is defined as the $t=0$ specialization of the Macdonald polynomial…
Let $R$ be a root datum with affine Weyl group $W^e$, and let $H = H (R,q)$ be an affine Hecke algebra with positive, possibly unequal, parameters $q$. Then $H$ is a deformation of the group algebra $\mathbb C [W^e]$, so it is natural to…
In this paper we use the double affine Hecke algebra to compute the Macdonald polynomial products $E_\ell P_m$ and $P_\ell P_m$ for type $SL_2$ and type $GL_2$ Macdonald polynomials. Our method follows the ideas of Martha Yip but executes a…
We give a short proof of the inner product conjecture for the symmetric Macdonald polynomials of type $A_{n-1}$. As a special case, the corresponding constant term conjecture is also proved.
We prove a combinatorial formula for Macdonald cumulants which generalizes the celebrated formula of Haglund for Macdonald polynomials. We provide several applications of our formula. Firstly, it gives a new, constructive proof of a strong…
A fundamental open problem in algebraic combinatorics is to find a positive combinatorial formula for Kronecker coefficients, which are multiplicities of the decomposition of the tensor product of two \S_r-irreducibles into irreducibles.…
We define a new family of noncommutative Bell polynomials in the algebra of free quasi-symmetric functions and relate it to the dual immaculate basis of quasi-symmetric functions. We obtain noncommutative versions of Grinberg's results…
