There is a known generalization of the classical Schwarz lemma to holomorphic functions from the polydisk to the disk. In this paper, we characterize those functions which satisfy equality everywhere in this generalized inequality: they are…

The classical algebra $\Lambda$ of symmetric functions has a remarkable deformation $\Lambda^*$, which we call the algebra of shifted symmetric functions. In the latter algebra, there is a distinguished basis formed by shifted Schur…

We describe a generalization of the notion of a Hilbert space model of a function $\varphi$ in the Schur-Agler class of the polydisc. This generalization is well adapted to the investigation of boundary behavior of $\varphi$ at a mild…

Let ${\mathcal S}$ be the class of analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$ with $f({\mathbb D}) \subset \overline{\mathbb D}$. Fix pairwise distinct points $z_1,\ldots,z_{n+1}\in \mathbb{D}$ and corresponding interpolation…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ satisfying $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$. Let $\mathcal{U}$ be the class of functions $f\in\mathcal{A}$ satisfying…

The product of any finite number of factorial Schur functions can be expanded as a $Z[y]$-linear combination of Schur functions. We give a rule for computing the coefficients in such an expansion which generalizes a specialization of the…

we start the study of Schur analysis in the quaternionic setting using the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions. The novelty of our approach is that slice hyperholomorphic functions allows to write realizations in terms of a suitable…

Let ${\mathsf F}$ be the Schur functor from the category of finite dimensional ${\mathcal H}_{\vartriangle}(r)_\mathbb C$-modules to the category of finite dimensional ${\mathcal S}_{\vartriangle}(n,r)_{\mathbb{C}}$-modules, where…

The Schur-Agler class consists of functions over a domain satisfying an appropriate von Neumann inequality. Originally defined over the polydisk, the idea has been extended to general domains in multivariable complex Euclidean space with…

The notion of a unitary realization is used to estimate derivatives of arbitrary order of functions in the Schur-Agler class on the polydisk and unit ball.

The $S$-functional calculus for slice hyperholomorphic functions generalizes the Riesz-Dunford-functional calculus for holomorphic functions to quaternionic linear operators and to $n$-tuples of noncommuting operators. For an unbounded…

In this paper, we will consider matrices with entries in the space of operators $\mathcal{B}(H)$, where $H$ is a separable Hilbert space, and consider the class of (left or right) Schur multipliers that can be approached in the multiplier…

We discuss orbifold version of the Schur index defined as the supersymmetric partition function in S^3/Z_n x S^1. We first give a general formula for Lagrangian theories obtained by localization technique, and then suggest a generalization…

We obtain general identities for the product of two Schur functions in the case where one of the functions is indexed by a rectangular partition, and give their t-analogs using vertex operators. We study subspaces forming a filtration for…

A set of functions is defined which is indexed by a positive integer $n$ and partitions of integers. The case $n=1$ reproduces the standard Schur polynomials. These functions are seen to arise naturally as a determinant of an action on the…

We revisit a double-scaled limit of the superconformal index of ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) which generalizes the Schur index. The resulting partition function, $\hat {\cal Z}(q,\alpha)$, has a standard $q$-expansion…

We study representations of inner functions on the bidisc from a fractional linear transformation point of view, and provide sufficient conditions, in terms of colligation matrices, for the existence of two-variable inner functions. Here…

We prove that the pointwise product of two holomorphic functions of the upper half-plane, one in the Hardy space $\mathcal H^1$, the other one in its dual, belongs to a Hardy type space. Conversely, every holomorphic function in this space…

We suggest the point of view that the Schubert classes of the affine Grassmannian of a simple algebraic group should be considered as Schur-positive symmetric functions. In particular, we give a geometric explanation of the Schur positivity…

We consider an operator of Bernstein for symmetric functions, and give an explicit formula for its action on an arbitrary Schur function. This formula is given in a remarkably simple form when written in terms of some notation based on the…
