Aiming to provide weak as possible axiomatic assumptions in which one can develop basic linear algebra, we give a uniform and integral version of the short propositional proofs for the determinant identities demonstrated over $GF(2)$ in…
By applying a Gr\"{o}bner-Shirshov basis of the symmetric group $S_{n}$, we give two formulas for Schubert polynomials, either of which involves only nonnegative monomials. We also prove some combinatorial properties of Schubert…
We give a new proof of a polynomial identity involving the minors of a matrix, that originated in the study of integer torsion in a local cohomology module.
We establish some identities relating two sequences that are, as explained, related to the Tribonacci sequence. One of these sequences bears the same resemblance to the Tribonacci sequence as the Lucas sequence does to the Fibonacci…
Let $P$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$ with roots $x_1,\ldots,x_n$. We study the discriminants of the derivatives $P^{(k)}$ as symmetric translation-invariant polynomials in the original roots. The general ``square-graph cone''…
For every multivariable polynomial $p$, with $p(0)=1$, we construct a determinantal representation $$p=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is a diagonal matrix with coordinate variables on the diagonal and $K$ is a complex square matrix. Such a…
We prove some analogues of Schur's lemma for endomorphisms of extensions in Tannakian categories. More precisely, let $\mathbf{T}$ be a neutral Tannakian category over a field of characteristic zero. Let $E$ be an extension of $A$ by $B$ in…
We introduce a new notion of the determinant, called symmetrized determinant, for a square matrix with the entries in an associative algebra $\AA$. The monomial expansion of the symmetrized determinant is obtained from the standard…
We express the N\"{o}rlund polynomials in terms of the second-order Eulerian numbers. Based on this expression, we derive several identities related to the Bernoulli numbers. In particular, we present a short proof of the problem raised by…
We introduce the quantum multi-Schur functions, quantum factorial Schur functions and quantum Macdonald polynomials. We prove that for restricted vexillary permutations the quantum double Schubert polynomial coincides with some quantum…
It is shown that monic orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are the characteristic polynomials of certain five-diagonal matrices depending on the Schur parameters. This result is achieved through the study of orthogonal Laurent…
Starting from the expression for the superdeterminant of $ (xI-M)$, where $M$ is an arbitrary supermatrix , we propose a definition for the corresponding characteristic polynomial and we prove that each supermatrix satisfies its…
This paper has two aims. The first is to study ideals of minors of matrices whose entries are among the variables of a polynomial ring. Specifically, we describe matrices whose ideals of minors of a given size are prime. The main result in…
In this paper we consider pentadiagonal $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrices with two subdiagonals and two superdiagonals at distances $k$ and $2k$ from the main diagonal where $1\le k<2k\le n$. We give an explicit formula for their determinants and…
We prove two determinant evaluations attached to Sun's conjectures on matrices of Legendre symbols. The first one resolves the \(p\equiv1\pmod4\) part of Conjecture 4.8(i) by reducing the determinant with four indeterminates to a four-entry…
Based on a less-known result, we prove a recent conjecture concerning the determinant of a certain Sylvester-Kac type matrix and consider an extension of it.
Several determinants with gamma functions as elements are evaluated. This kind of determinants are encountered in the computation of the probability density of the determinant of random matrices. The s-shifted factorial is defined as a…
We give a bijective proof of an identity relating primed shifted gl(n)-standard tableaux to the product of a gl(n) character in the form of a Schur function and a product of sums of x and y terms. This result generalises a number of…
We prove the case t = 2 of a conjecture of Bruns-Conca-Varbaro, describing the minimal relations between the t x t minors of a generic matrix. Interpreting these relations as polynomial functors, and applying transpose duality as in the…
We refine a technique used in a paper by Schur on real-rooted polynomials. This amounts to an extension of a theorem of Wagner on Hadamard products of Toeplitz matrices. We also apply our results to polynomials for which the Neggers-Stanley…
