Lyubeznik conjectured that local cohomology modules of regular rings have finitely many associated primes. We examine this conjecture for polynomial rings over the integers, and record some equational identities that arise from studying…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $G\subset K^\times$ be a finitely generated subgroup. Fix some prime number $\ell$, and consider the set of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$ satisfying the following property: the reduction of $G$ modulo…

The number of standard Young tableaux of a skew shape $\lambda/\mu$ can be computed as a sum over excited diagrams inside $\lambda$. Excited diagrams are in bijection with certain lozenge tilings, with flagged semistandard tableaux and also…

Extending earlier work of Guralnick and of Cai and Zhang, we classify the almost simple groups which have transitive permutation representations of prime power degree $p^k$, and those which have $p$-complements (stabilisers of order coprime…

We consider the symmetric group $S_n$-module of the polynomial ring with $m$ sets of $n$ commuting variables and $m'$ sets of $n$ anti-commuting variables and show that the multiplicity of an irreducible indexed by the partition $\lambda$…

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $\genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{\cdot}{p}$ denotes the Legendre symbol modulo $p$. If $p$ is has the form $p= n^2+1$ then one easily verifies that $\genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{a}{p} = \genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{-a}{p}$ for all $a\in…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of modules over a ring $R$, closed under direct sums over index sets of cardinality $\kappa$ and isomorphisms, and such that the isomorphism classes form a set. The monoid of modules $V(\mathcal C)$ encodes the…

We propose upper bounds for the number of modular constituents of the restriction modulo $p$ of a complex irreducible character of a finite group, and for its decomposition numbers, in certain cases.

We give the complete twisted Yukawa couplings for all the Z_n orbifold constructions in the most general case, i.e. when orbifold deformations are considered. This includes a certain number of tasks. Namely, determination of the allowed…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. A $BT_1$ group scheme over $k$ is a finite commutative group scheme which arises as the kernel of $p$ on a $p$-divisible (Barsotti--Tate) group.…

For a prime number $p$ and a number field $k$, let $\tilde{k}$ be the compositum of all $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $k$. Greenberg's Generalized Conjecture (GGC) claims the pseudo-nullity of the unramified Iwasawa module $X(\tilde{k})$ of…

We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper we investigate quadratic residues modulo $p$ and related permutations, congruences and identities. If $a_1<\ldots<a_{(p-1)/2}$ are all the quadratic residues modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$, then the…

Let $p$ and $q$ be two distinct odd primes. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field over which $p$ and $q$ are both split. Let $\Psi$ be a Hecke character over $K$ of infinity type $(k,j)$ with $0\le-j< k$. Under certain technical…

The injective polynomial modules for a general linear group $G$ of degree $n$ are labelled by the partitions with at most $n$ parts. Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we consider the question of which…

Kunchenko's method of polynomial maximization provides a semiparametric apparatus for parameter estimation under non-Gaussian errors, but its classical power basis relies on finite higher-order integer moments. This paper introduces the…

We propose an $r$-variable version of Kostka-Shoji polynomials $K^-_{\lambda\mu}$ for $r$-multipartitions $\lambda,\mu$. Our version has positive integral coefficients and encodes the graded multiplicities in the space of global sections of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Let $K$ be the $p$-th cyclotomic field and $F$ its maximal real subfield. We give general formulae of the root numbers of the Jacobian varieties of the Fermat curves $X^p+Y^p=\delta$ where $\delta$ is an…

We determine the partitions $\lambda$ for which the corresponding induced module (or Schur module in the language of Buchsbaum et. al., [1]) $\nabla(\lambda)$ is injective in the category of polynomial modules for a general linear group…

A permutation $\sigma$ of a multiset is called Stirling permutation if $\sigma(s)\ge \sigma(i)$ as soon as $\sigma(i)=\sigma(j)$ and $i<s<j.$ In our paper we study Stirling polynomials that arise in the generating function for descent…
