Given a partition $\lambda$ of a number $k$, it is known that by adding a long line of length $n-k$, the dimension of the associated representation of $S_{n}$ is an integer-valued polynomial of degree $k$ in $n$. We show that its expansion…

We extend the existing skew polynomial representations of matrix algebras which are direct sum of matrix spaces over division rings. In this representation, the sum-rank distance between two tuples of matrices is captured by a weight…

We show that the Young tableaux theory and constructions of the irreducible representations of the Weyl groups of type A, B and D, Iwahori-Hecke algebras of types A, B, and D, the complex reflection groups G(r,p,n) and the corresponding…

Orbit harmonics is a tool in combinatorial representation theory which promotes the (ungraded) action of a linear group $G$ on a finite set $X$ to a graded action of $G$ on a polynomial ring quotient by viewing $X$ as a $G$-stable point…

Promotion permutations have recently been associated to each rectangular standard Young tableau by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--Swanson. Here we relate promotion permutations to the Robinson--Schensted (RS) correspondence. More…

We give a combinatorial proof of the skew Kostka analogue of the K-saturation theorem. More precisely, for any positive integer k, we give an explicit injection from the set of skew semistandard Young tableaux with skew shape…

We introduce the notion of "color rules" for computing class functions of $Z_k \wr S_n$, where $Z_k$ is the cyclic group of order $k$ and $S_n$ is the symmetric group on $n$ letters. Using a general sign-reversing involution and a map of…

We bound the number of standard tableaux of skew shapes via thick hook decompositions in the Naruse hook length formula. Combining this with elementary counting arguments in the Murnaghan--Nakayama rule, we establish a uniform bound on…

We show that sequences of skew Schur polynomials obtained from stretched semi-standard Young tableaux satisfy a linear recurrence, which we give explicitly. Using this, we apply this to finding certain asymptotic behavior of these Schur…

We exhibit two instances of the cyclic sieving phenomenon - one on dissections of a polygon of a fixed type and one on triangulations of a once-punctured polygon. We use these results to give refined enumerations of certain families of…

A Littlewood polynomial is a single-variable polynomial all of whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. We establish the leading term asymptotics of the number of reciprocal or skew-reciprocal Littlewood polynomials with square discriminant.…

We study asymptotics of random shifted Young diagrams which correspond to a given sequence of reducible projective representations of the symmetric groups. We show limit results (Law of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem) for their…

(Dual-)promotion and (dual-)evacuation are bijections on SYT(\lambda) for any partition \lambda. Let c^r denote the rectangular partition (c,...,c) of height r, and let sc_k (k > 2) denote the staircase partition (k,k-1,...,1). B. Rhoades…

First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…

Consider an $n\times k$ matrix of i.i.d. Bernoulli random numbers with $p=1/2$. Dual RSK algorithm gives a bijection of this matrix to a pair of Young tableaux of conjugate shape, which is manifestation of skew Howe $GL_{n}\times…

We study asymptotics of reducible representations of the symmetric groups S_q for large q. We decompose such a representation as a sum of irreducible components (or, alternatively, Young diagrams) and we ask what is the character of a…

We introduce two new partial orders on the standard Young tableaux of a given partition shape, in analogy with the strong and weak Bruhat orders on permutations. Both posets are ranked by the major index statistic offset by a fixed shift.…
