An purely algebraic proof of the PBW theorem of U_q(gl(m,n)) is given. Lusztig's conjecture is extended to the super case. The Lusztig's tensor product theorem is established.

Consider the polynomial $tr (A + tB)^m$ in $t$ for positive hermitian matrices $A$ and $B$ with $m \in \N$. The Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecture (in the equivalent form of Lieb and Seiringer) states that this polynomial has nonnegative…

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,…

We establish a geometrisation of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for potentially Barsotti-Tate representations, as well as of the weight part of Serre's conjecture, for moduli stacks of two-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute…

We make quantitative improvements to recently obtained results on the structure of the image of a large difference set under certain quadratic forms and other homogeneous polynomials. Previous proofs used deep results of Benoist-Quint on…

While there are many identities involving the Euler and Bernoulli numbers, they are usually proved analytically or inductively. We prove two identities involving Euler and Bernoulli numbers with combinatorial reasoning via up-down…

The classical Brauer-Siegel conjecture describes the asymptotic behaviour of the product of the class number and the regulator in families of number fields. All known cases of the conjecture rely on reducing the problem, via group theoretic…

Under natural assumptions on the observable, we prove a Central Limit Theorem, a Berry-Esseen Theorem, and a quantitative Local Limit Theorem for a broad class of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus. Our results…

In this paper, we study properties of the coefficients appearing in the $q$-series expansion of $\prod_{n\ge 1}[(1-q^n)/(1-q^{pn})]^\delta$, the infinite Borwein product for an arbitrary prime $p$, raised to an arbitrary positive real power…

In this work, a Vietoris type theorem for the positivity of sine and cosine sum for a particular sequence of real numbers is provided. In this connection, the positivity of a particular type of sine sum involving ratio of some parameters is…

We consider the Pfaffian-Grassmannian equivalence from the motivic point of view. The main result is that under certain numerical conditions, both sides of the equivalence are related on the level of Chow motives. The consequences include a…

Much is known about binomial coefficients where primes are concerned, but considerably less is known regarding prime powers and composites. This paper provides two conjectures in these directions, one about counting binomial coefficients…

We present new proofs and generalizations of unimodality of the q-binomial coefficients \binom{n}{k}_q as polynomials in q. We use an algebraic approach by interpreting the differences between numbers of certain partitions as Kronecker…

Let $F$ be a totally real field and $K$ a finite abelian CM extension of $F$. Using class field theory, we show that our previous result giving a strong form of the Brumer-Stark conjecture implies the minus part of the equivariant Tamagawa…

Gaussian polynomial, which is also known as $q$-binomial coefficient, is one of the fundamental concepts in the theory of partitions. Zeilberger provided a combinatorial proof of Gaussian polynomial, which is called Algorithm Z by Andrews…

Following the method of combinatorial telescoping for alternating sums given by Chen, Hou and Mu, we present a combinatorial telescoping approach to partition identities on sums of positive terms. By giving a classification of the…
