It is shown that when dependence on the second flow of the KP hierarchy is added, the resulting semi-stationary wave function of certain points in George Wilson's adelic Grassmannian are generating functions of the exceptional Hermite…
Theory of motivic superpolynomials is developed, including its extension to algebraic links colored by rows, relations to $L$-functions of plane curve singularities, the justification of the motivic versions of Weak Riemann Hypothesis, and…
Given a sequence of polynomials $(p_n)_n$, an algebra of operators $\mathcal{A}$ acting in the linear space of polynomials and an operator $D_p\in \mathcal{A}$ with $D_p(p_n)=np_n$, we form a new sequence of polynomials $(q_n)_n$ by…
Let $G$ be a complex classical group, and let $V$ be its defining representation (possibly plus a copy of the dual). A foundational problem in classical invariant theory is to write down generators and relations for the ring of…
A geometric grid class consists of those permutations that can be drawn on a specified set of line segments of slope \pm1 arranged in a rectangular pattern governed by a matrix. Using a mixture of geometric and language theoretic methods,…
The algebra H of the dual -1 Hahn polynomials is derived and shown to arise in the Clebsch-Gordan problem of sl_{-1}(2). The dual -1 Hahn polynomials are the bispectral polynomials of a discrete argument obtained from a q-> -1 limit of the…

Following the Perron-Frobenius theorem, the spectral radius of a primitive matrix is a simple eigenvalue. It is shown that for a primitive matrix $A$, there is a positive rank one matrix $X$ such that $B = A \circ X$, where $\circ$ denotes…
We construct noncomplete orthogonal systems on the ray $[0,\infty)$ that look like Jacobi polynomials $P_n(x)$ after a shift of degree $n\mapsto n+a$, where $a$ is a real constant. These systems are solutions of some exotic Sturm-Liouville…
Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…
We establish an alternative, ``perpendicular" collection of generating functions for the coefficients of Gaussian polynomials, $\begin{bmatrix}N+m\\m\end{bmatrix}_q$. We provide a general characterization of these perpendicular generating…
A proof for a conjecture by Shadrin and Zvonkine, relating the entries of a matrix arising in the study of Hurwitz numbers to a certain sequence of rational numbers, is given. The main tools used are iteration matrices of formal power…
We consider here a particular quadratic equation linking two elements of a C-Algebra. By analysing powers of the unknowns, it appears a double sequence of polynomials related to classical Bernoulli polynomials. We get the generating…
In this paper we propose a way to construct classical type Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. We consider two families of hypergeometric polynomials: ${}_2 F_2(-n,1;q,r;x)$ and ${}_3 F_2(-n,n-1+a+b,1;a,c;x)$ ($a,b,c,q,r>0$, $n=0,1,...$), which…
We consider the classical problems (Edge) Steiner Tree and Vertex Steiner Tree after restricting the input to some class of graphs characterized by a small set of forbidden induced subgraphs. We show a dichotomy for the former problem…
Holonomic equations are recursive equations which allow computing efficiently numbers of combinatoric objects. R{\'e}my showed that the holonomic equation associated with binary trees yields an efficient linear random generator of binary…
Let a sequence $(P_n)$ of polynomials in one complex variable satisfy a recurre ce relation with length growing slowlier than linearly. It is shown that $(P_n) $ is an orthonormal basis in $L^2_{\mu}$ for some measure $\mu$ on $\C$, if and…
In this paper, we show how regular convex 4-polytopes - the analogues of the Platonic solids in four dimensions - can be constructed from three-dimensional considerations concerning the Platonic solids alone. Via the Cartan-Dieudonne…
The Stirling numbers of the first kind can be represented in terms of a new class of polynomials that are closely related to the Bernoulli polynomials. Recursion relations for these polynomials are given.
