The method of geometrical quantization of symplectic manifolds is applied to constructing infinite dimensional irreducible unitary representations of the algebra of functions on the compact quantum group $SU_q(2)$. A formulation of the…

We present a variety of geometrical and combinatorial tools that are used in the study of geometric structures on surfaces: volume, contact, symplectic, complex and almost complex structures. We start with a series of local rigidity results…

The Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^{\lambda}_{\mu\nu}$ give the multiplicity of an irreducible polynomial ${\rm GL}_n$-representation $F^{\lambda}_n$ in the tensor product of polynomial representations $F^{\mu}_n\otimes F^{\nu}_n$.…

It is known that the usual Schur $S$- and $P$-polynomials can be described via the Gysin homomorphisms for flag bundles in the ordinary cohomology theory. Recently, P. Pragacz generalized these Gysin formulas to the Hall-Littlewood…

We describe the quantization of 2-plectic manifolds as they arise in the context of the quantum geometry of M-branes and non-geometric flux compactifications of closed string theory. We review the groupoid approach to quantizing Poisson…

Littlewood raised the question of how slowly ||f_n||_4^4-||f_n||_2^4 (where ||.||_r denotes the L^r norm on the unit circle) can grow for a sequence of polynomials f_n with unimodular coefficients and increasing degree. The results of this…

For n greater than or equal to 4, the square of the volume of an n-simplex satisfies a polynomial relation with coefficients depending on the squares of the areas of 2-faces of this simplex. First, we compute the minimal degree of such…

We study two different one-parameter generalizations of Littlewood--Richardson coefficients, namely Hall polynomials and generalized inverse Kostka polynomials, and derive new combinatorial formulae for them. Our combinatorial expressions…

We study how well functions over the boolean hypercube of the form $f_k(x)=(|x|-k)(|x|-k-1)$ can be approximated by sums of squares of low-degree polynomials, obtaining good bounds for the case of approximation in $\ell_{\infty}$-norm as…

Jeffrey and Kirwan suggested expressions for intersection pairings on the reduced space of a Hamiltonian G-space in terms of multiple residues. In this paper we prove a residue formula for symplectic volumes of reduced spaces of a…

A closed formula of the universal part of supersymmetric R\'enyi entropy $S_q$ for six-dimensional $(1,0)$ superconformal theories is proposed. Within our arguments, $S_q$ across a spherical entangling surface is a cubic polynomial of…

The study of (minimally) rigid graphs is motivated by numerous applications, mostly in robotics and bioinformatics. A major open problem concerns the number of embeddings of such graphs, up to rigid motions, in Euclidean space. We capture…

Given a pair of distinct unitary cuspidal automorphic representations for GL(n) over a number field, let S denote the set of finite places at which the automorphic representations are unramified and their associated Hecke eigenvalues…

Let Y^n denote the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence M^n_i-> Y^n of v-noncollapsed riemannian manifolds with Ric_i\geq-(n-1). The singular set S of Y has a stratification S^0\subset S^1\subset\...\subset S, where y\in S^k if no tangent…

Tur\'an problems in extremal combinatorics ask to find asymptotic bounds on the edge densities of graphs and hypergraphs that avoid specified subgraphs. The theory of flag algebras proposed by Razborov provides powerful methods based on…

Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are subvarieties of the flag variety $\mathrm{Flag}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ arising naturally in the intersection of geometry, representation theory, and combinatorics. Recent results of…

An algebraic iterative formula for the spin Kostka-Foulkes polynomial $K^-_{\xi\mu}(t)$ is given using vertex operator realizations of Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and Schur's Q-functions. Based on the operational formula, more…

Let X be a finite set of points in R^n. A polynomial p nonnegative on X can be written as a sum of squares of rational functions modulo the vanishing ideal I(X). From the point of view of applications, such as polynomial optimization, we…

We study volumes of sections of convex origin-symmetric bodies in $\mathbb{R}% ^{n}$ induced by orthonormal systems on probability spaces. The approach is based on volume estimates of \ John-L\"{o}wner ellipsoids and expectations of norms…

Here we prove that the Hilbert-Kunz mulitiplicity of a quadric hypersurface of dimension $d$ and odd characteristic $p\geq 2d-4$ is bounded below by $1+m_d$, where $m_d$ is the $d^{th}$ coefficient in the expansion of…
