Jack polynomials generalize several classical families of symmetric polynomials, including Schur polynomials, and are further generalized by Macdonald polynomials. In 1989, Richard Stanley conjectured that if the Littlewood-Richardson…
We develop a diagrammatic categorification of the polynomial ring Z[x], based on a geometrically defined graded algebra. This construction generalizes to categorification of some special functions, such as Chebyshev polynomials.…
For k a field of arbitrary characteristic, and R a k-algebra, we show that the PI degree of an iterated skew polynomial ring R[x_1;\tau_1,\delta_1]...b[x_n;\tau_n,\delta_n] agrees with the PI degree of R[x_1;\tau_1]...b[x_n;\tau_n] when…
We prove an inequality for the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials $K_{\lambda ,\mu}(q)$. As a corollary, we obtain a nontrivial lower bound for the Kostka numbers and a new proof of the Berenstein-Zelevinsky weight-multiplicity-one-criterium.
We study the generalized double $\beta$-Grothendieck polynomials for all types. We study the Cauchy formulas for them. Using this, we deduce the K-theoretic version of the comodule structure map $\alpha^*: K(G/B)\to K(G)\otimes K(G/B)$…
We study the irreducibility of Wronskian Hermite polynomials labelled by partitions. It is known that these polynomials factor as a power of x times a remainder polynomial. We show that the remainder polynomial is irreducible for the…
We completely describe the functional graph associated to iterations of Chebyshev polynomials over finite fields. Then, we use our structural results to obtain estimates for the average rho length, average number of connected components and…
The characteristic polynomial for a chain of dipole-dipole coupled two-level atoms with nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour interactions is developed for the study of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for single-photon excitations. We…
We prove a quantitative Roth-type theorem for polynomial corners in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that any measurable subset of $[0,1]^2$ with positive measure…
We give a uniform interpretation of the classical continuous Chebyshev's and Hahn's orthogonal polynomials of discrete variable in terms of Feigin's Lie algebra gl(N), where N is any complex number. One can similarly interpret Chebyshev's…
The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…
A long-term project is to construct a complete Calabi-Yau metric on the complement of the anticanonical divisor in a compact K\"ahler manifold $\oM$. We focus on the case where this smooth divisor has multiplicity 2 and is itself a compact…
P. Berglund, T. H\"ubsch, and M. Henningson proposed a method to construct mirror symmetric Calabi-Yau manifolds. They considered a pair consisting of an invertible polynomial and of a finite (abelian) group of its diagonal symmetries…
Skew polynomials are a class of non-commutative polynomials that have several applications in computer science, coding theory and cryptography. In particular, skew polynomials can be used to construct and decode evaluation codes in several…
In this paper, we consider a two-parameter polynomial generalization, denoted by G_{a,b}(n,k;r), of the r-Lah numbers which reduces to these recently introduced numbers when a=b=1. We present several identities for G_{a,b}(n,k;r) that…
Ritt studied the functional decomposition of a univariate complex polynomial f into prime (indecomposable) polynomials, f = u_1 o u_2 o ... o u_r. His main achievement was a procedure for obtaining any decomposition of f from any other by…
Mutual-visibility sets were motivated by visibility in distributed systems and social networks, and intertwine with several classical mathematical areas. Monotone properties of the variety of mutual-visibility sets, and restrictions of such…
In this overview paper a direct approach to q-Chebyshev polynomials and their elementary properties is given. Special emphasis is placed on analogies with the classical case. There are also some connections with q-tangent and q-Genocchi…
The Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda}$ are essential in understanding the representation theory of the general linear group. They also describe the cohomology ring of the Grassmannians. For $\rho = (n, n-1, \dots, 1)$ a staircase shape and…
Let $\Phi_n^{(k)}(x)$ be the $k$-th derivative of $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. Extending a work of D.~H.~Lehmer, we show some curious congruences: $2\Phi^{(3)}_n(1)$ is divisible by $\phi(n)-2$ and $\Phi^{(2k+1)}_n(1)$ is divisible by…
