We present a positivity conjecture for the coefficients of the development of Jack polynomials in terms of power sums. This extends Stanley's ex-conjecture about normalized characters of the symmetric group. We prove this conjecture for…

In 2008, M. Marshall settled a long-standing open problem by showing that if f(x,y) is a polynomial that is non-negative on the strip [0,1] x R, then there exist sums of squares s(x,y) and t(x,y) such that f(x,y) = s(x,y) + (x - x^2)…

In this article we consider the exterior power and the symmetric tensors of the polynomial ring in one variable. The structure of an associative semigraded algebra of this polynomial ring induces on the symmetric tensors the structure of an…

It is known that for a totally positive (TP) matrix, the eigenvalues are positive and distinct and the eigenvector associated with the smallest eigenvalue is totally nonzero and has an alternating sign pattern. Here, a certain weakening of…

We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) of degree n in m real variables, which have arisen in the theory of numerical semigroups. We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums…

We study real univariate polynomials with non-zero coefficients and with all roots real, out of which exactly two positive. The sequence of coefficients of such a polynomial begins with $m$ positive coefficients followed by $n$ negative…

We give a purely equivariant construction of orbifold products for quotient Deligne-Mumford stacks [X/G] where G is an arbitrary linear algebraic group (not necessarily finite). The key to our construction is the definition of the…

Polynomial ensembles are a sub-class of probability measures within determinantal point processes. Examples include products of independent random matrices, with applications to Lyapunov exponents, and random matrices with an external…

In recent years several classes of structured matrices are extended to classes of tensors in the context of tensor complementarity problem. The tensor complementarity problem is a class of nonlinear complementarity problem where the…

We present a few factorizations of polynomials over finite fields. These factorizations are related to traces, compositions of polynomials and binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a description of all irreducible polynomials…

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…

Given a real symmetric $n\times n$ matrix, the sepr-sequence $t_1\cdots t_n$ records information about the existence of principal minors of each order that are positive, negative, or zero. This paper extends the notion of the sepr-sequence…

The familiar trace of a square matrix generalizes to a trace of an endomorphism of a dualizable object in a symmetric monoidal category. To extend these ideas to other settings, such as modules over non-commutative rings, the trace can be…

There is a digraph corresponding to every square matrix over $\mathbb{C}$. We generate a recurrence relation using the Laplace expansion to calculate the characteristic, and permanent polynomials of a square matrix. Solving this recurrence…

Two trace formulas for the spectra of arbitrary Hermitian matrices are derived by transforming the given Hermitian matrix $H$ to a unitary analogue. In the first type the unitary matrix is $e^{i(\lambda\II - H)}$ where $\lambda$ is the…
