The $K$-theoretic Schur $P$- and $Q$-functions $GP_\lambda$ and $GQ_\lambda$ may be concretely defined as weight generating functions for semistandard shifted set-valued tableaux. These symmetric functions are the shifted analogues of…
A new descent set statistic on involutions, defined geometrically via their interpretation as matchings, is introduced in this paper, and shown to be equi-distributed with the standard one. This concept is then applied to construct explicit…
We prove a formula for the degrees of Ikeda and Naruse's $P$-Grothendieck polynomials using combinatorics of shifted tableaux. We show this formula can be used in conjunction with results of Hamaker, Marberg, and Pawlowski to obtain an…
Kirillov and Naruse have constructed double Grothendieck polynomials to represent the equivariant K-theory classes of Schubert varieties in the complete flag manifolds of types B, C, and D. We derive a recursive formula for these…
We study a multi-symmetric generalization of the classical Schur functions called the multi-symmetric Schur functions. These functions form an integral basis for the ring of multi-symmetric functions indexed by tuples of partitions and are…
We present a generalization of the classical Schur modules of $GL(N)$ exhibiting the same interplay among algebra, geometry, and combinatorics. A generalized Young diagram $D$ is an arbitrary finite subset of $\NN \times \NN$. For each $D$,…
We present a relationship between the generalized hyperharmonic numbers and the poly-Bernoulli polynomials, motivated from the connections between harmonic and Bernoulli numbers. This relationship yields numerous identities for the…
We present positivity conjectures for the Schur expansion of Jack symmetric functions in two bases given by binomial coefficients. Partial results suggest that there are rich combinatorics to be found in these bases, including Eulerian…
The Jack symmetric polynomials $P_\lambda^{(\alpha)}$ form a class of symmetric polynomials which are indexed by a partition $\lambda$ and depend rationally on a parameter $\alpha$. They reduced to the Schur polynomials when $\alpha=1$, and…
We start with a bijective proof of Schur's theorem due to Alladi and Gordon and describe how a particular iteration of it leads to some very general theorems on colored partitions. These theorems imply a number of important results,…
The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…
We prove that twisted versions of Schubert polynomials defined by $\widetilde{\mathfrak S}_{w_0} = x_1^{n-1}x_2^{n-2} \cdots x_{n-1}$ and $\widetilde{\mathfrak S}_{ws_i} = (s_i+\partial_i)\widetilde{\mathfrak S}_w$ are monomial positive and…
A polynomial has saturated Newton polytope (SNP) if every lattice point of the convex hull of its exponent vectors corresponds to a monomial. We compile instances of SNP in algebraic combinatorics (some with proofs, others conjecturally):…
Present notes can be viewed as an attempt to extend the notion of Schubert/Grothendieck polynomial to the context of an arbitrary algebraic oriented cohomology theory and, hence, of a commutative one-dimensional formal group law.
These lecture notes provide an informal introduction to the theory of nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares. We highlight the history and some recent developments, especially the new connections with classical (complex) algebraic…
We give a new combinatorial description for stable Grothendieck polynomials in terms of subdivisions of Gelfand-Zetlin polytopes. Moreover, these subdivisions also provide a description of Lascoux polynomials. This generalizes a similar…
Dual equivalence graphs are a powerful tool in symmetric function theory that provide a general framework for proving that a given quasisymmetric function is symmetric and Schur positive. In this paper, we study a larger family of graphs…

We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials $\mathfrak{G}^{(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v})}_{\lambda}$ arising from exactly solvable lattice models associated with the quantised loop algebra $\mathcal{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2}[z^\pm])$. The…
We develop and study the generalization of rational Schur algebras to the super setting. Similar to the classical case, this provides a new method for studying rational supermodules of the general linear supergroup $GL(m|n)$. Furthermore,…
