The famous Jacobian conjecture asks if an endomorphism $f$ of $K[x,y]$ ($K$ is a characteristic zero field) having a non-zero scalar Jacobian is invertible. Let $\alpha$ be the exchange involution on $K[x,y]$: $\alpha(x)= y$ and $\alpha(y)=…

A generalization of the Macdonald polynomials depending upon both commuting and anticommuting variables has been introduced recently. The construction relies on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations. Although many…

In 1995 Stanley conjectured that the chromatic symmetric functions of the graphs $P_{d,2}$, which we call triangular ladders, were $e$-positive. In this paper we confirm this conjecture, which is also an unsolved case of the celebrated…

We generalize R. P. Stanley's celebrated theorem that the $h^\ast$-polynomial of the Ehrhart series of a rational polytope has nonnegative coefficients and is monotone under containment of polytopes. We show that these results continue to…

We have studied a faded problem, the Jacobian Conjecture ~: \noindent {\sf The Jacobian Conjecture $(JC_n)$}~: If $f_1, \cdots, f_n$ are elements in a polynomial ring $k[X_1, \cdots, X_n]$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ such that…

For a partition $\underline{\lambda} = (\lambda_{1}^{\rho _1}>\lambda_{2}^{\rho _2}>\lambda_{3}^{\rho _3}>\ldots>\lambda_{k}^{\rho _k})$ and its associated finite $\mathcal{R}$-module…

Interpolation polynomials were introduced by Knop--Sahi in type $A$, and Okounkov in type $BC$. They are inhomogeneous polynomials whose top terms are Jack and Macdonald polynomials. Thus the expansion coefficients for the product of two…

Let $I\supsetneq J$ be two monomial ideals of a polynomial algebra over a field generated in degree $\geq d$, resp. $\geq d+1$ . We study when the Stanley Conjecture holds for $I/J$ using the recent result of \cite{IKM} concerning the…

Determining if a symmetric function is Schur-positive is a prevalent and, in general, a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper we study the Schur-positivity of a family of symmetric functions. Given a partition \lambda, we denote by…

We show that Stanley's conjecture holds for a polynomial ring over a field in four variables. In the case of polynomial ring in five variables, we prove that the monomial ideals with all associated primes of height two, are Stanley ideals.

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…

This article is devoted to the study of Jack connection coefficients, a generalization of the connection coefficients of the classical commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group closely related to the theory of Jack…

Our goal is to settle the following faded problem: The Jacobian Conjecture (JC_n): If f_1,..,f_n are elements in a polynomial ring k[X_1,..,X_n] over a field k of characteristic 0 such that det(\partial f_i/ \partial X_j) is a nonzero…

Jack polynomials in superspace, orthogonal with respect to a ``combinatorial'' scalar product, are constructed. They are shown to coincide with the Jack polynomials in superspace, orthogonal with respect to an ``analytical'' scalar product,…

Two conjectures of Su and Wang (2008) concerning binomial coefficients are proved. For $n\geq k\geq 0$ and $b>a>0$, we show that the finite sequence $C_j=\binom{n+ja}{k+jb}$ is a P\'{o}lya frequency sequence. For $n\geq k\geq 0$ and…

R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…

In this paper we prove four cases of the vanishing conjecture of differential operators with constant coefficients and also a conjecture on the Laurent polynomials with no holomorphic parts, which were proposed in [Zh3] by the third named…

The famous Jacobian Conjecture asks if a morphism $f:K[x,y]\to K[x,y]$ with invertible Jacobian, is invertible ($K$ is a characteristic zero field). A known result says that if $K[f(x),f(y)] \subseteq K[x,y]$ is an integral extension, then…

This work initiates the study of {\it orthogonal} symmetric polynomials in superspace. Here we present two approaches leading to a family of orthogonal polynomials in superspace that generalize the Jack polynomials. The first approach…

The stretched Littlewood-Richardson coefficient $c^{t\nu}_{t\lambda,t\mu}$ was conjectured by King, Tollu, and Toumazet to be a polynomial function in $t.$ It was shown to be true by Derksen and Weyman using semi-invariants of quivers.…
