We give a combinatorial proof of the factorization formula of modified Macdonald polynomials when the parameter t is specialized at a primitive root of unity. Our proof is restricted to the special case of partitions with 2 columns. We…

It is a classical fact that the exponential function is solution of the integral equation $ \int_0^X f(x)dx + f(0) =f(X)$. If we slightly modify this equation to $ \int_0^X f(x)dx+f(0)=f(\alpha X)$ with $\alpha\in ]0,1[$, it seems that no…

We determine the M\"obius function of the poset of compositions of an integer. In fact we give two proofs of this formula, one using an involution and one involving discrete Morse theory. The composition poset turns out to be intimately…

We study the $k$-Bonacci word over the infinite alphabet $\mathbb{N}$. Since the alphabet is infinite, the usual factor complexity is infinite and does not provide any information. We therefore investigate factor occurrence statistics in…

In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…

A symmetric bilinear form on a certain subspace $\widehat{\mathbb T}^{\bf b}$ of a completion of the Fock space $\mathbb T^{{\bf b}}$ is defined. The canonical and dual canonical bases of $\widehat{\mathbb T}^{\bf b}$ are dual with respect…

We construct a monadic second-order sentence that characterizes the ternary relations that are the betweenness relations of finite or infinite partial orders. We prove that no first-order sentence can do that. We characterize the partial…

We consider a statistical model for finite-rank symmetric tensor factorization and prove a single-letter variational expression for its asymptotic mutual information when the tensor is of even order. The proof applies the adaptive…

We consider the problem of when one quandle homomorphism will factor through another, restricting our attention to the case where all quandles involved are connected. We provide a complete solution to the problem for surjective quandle…

We give a new proof of the butterfly theorem, based on the use of several expressions involving the scale factor between the two wings.

In this note, we explore the connections between the confluent Vandermonde matrix over an arbitrary field and several mathematical topics, including interpolation polynomials, Hasse derivatives, LU factorization, companion matrices and…

The purpose of this article is to formulate a number of probabilistic hidden-variable theorems, to provide proofs in some cases, and counterexamples to some conjectured relationships. The first theorem is the fundamental one. It asserts the…

All components of complements of discriminant varieties of simple real function singularities are explicitly listed. New invariants of such components (for not necessarily simple singularities) are introduced. A combinatorial algorithm…

We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Golden-Thompson and the Araki-Lieb-Thirring inequality to arbitrarily many matrices. In particular, we strengthen Lieb's triple matrix inequality. As an example application of our four…

We analyse a collection of twisted mixed moments of the Riemann zeta function and establish the validity of asymptotic formulae comprising on some instances secondary terms of the shape $P(\log T) T^{C}$ for a suitable constant $C<1$ and a…

The work takes another look at the number of runs that a string might contain and provides an alternative proof for the bound. We also propose another stronger conjecture that states that, for a fixed order on the alphabet, within every…

Recently, Boutonnet, Chifan, and Ioana proved that McDuff's examples of continuum many pairwise non-isomorphic separable II$_1$ factors are in fact pairwise non-elementarily equivalent. Their proof proceeded by showing that any ultrapowers…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, where $q=p^r$ is a power of the prime $p$, and $\left(\beta_1, \beta_2, \dots, \beta_r \right)$ be an ordered basis of ${\mathbb F}_q$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$. For…

One of the greatest difficulties encountered by all in their first proof intensive class is subtly assuming an unproven fact in a proof. The purpose of this note is to describe a specific instance where this can occur, namely in results…

We perform conformal perturbation theory by marginal operators to first order. A suitable renormalization method is needed that makes the conformal invariance of the deformed correlation functions manifest. Combining the embedding space…
