Introduced by Goulden and Jackson in their 1996 paper, the matchings-Jack conjecture and the hypermap-Jack conjecture (also known as the $b$-conjecture) are two major open questions relating Jack symmetric functions, the representation…
Using the description of hypermaps with matchings, Goulden and Jackson have given an expression of the generating series of rooted bipartite maps in terms of the zonal polynomials. We generalize this approach to the case of constellations…
Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series $\psi(x, y, z; t, 1+\beta)$ that might be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the generating series of rooted hypermaps. They…
In 1996 Goulden and Jackson introduced a family of coefficients $( c_{\pi, \sigma}^{\lambda} ) $ indexed by triples of partitions which arise in the power sum expansion of some Cauchy sum for Jack symmetric functions $( J^{(\alpha )}_\pi…
We introduce a one-parameter deformation of the 2-Toda tau-function of (weighted) Hurwitz numbers, obtained by deforming Schur functions into Jack symmetric functions. We show that its coefficients are polynomials in the deformation…
This article is devoted to the study of Jack connection coefficients, a generalization of the connection coefficients of the classical commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group closely related to the theory of Jack…
In a recent work, Maciej Do\l{}e\k{}ga and the author have given a formula of the expansion of the Jack polynomial $J^{(\alpha)}_\lambda$ in the power-sum basis as a non-orientability generating series of bipartite maps whose edges are…
We study random partitions $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...,\lambda_d)$ of $n$ whose length is not bigger than a fixed number $d$. Suppose a random partition $\lambda$ is distributed according to the Jack measure, which is a deformation of…
Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series $\psi(x, y, z; 1, 1+\beta)$ with an additional parameter $\beta$ that may be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the rooted…
For each integer partition $\lambda \vdash n$ we give a simple combinatorial expression for the sum of the Jack character $\theta^\lambda_\alpha$ over the integer partitions of $n$ with no singleton parts. For $\alpha = 1,2$ this gives…
Interpolation polynomials were introduced by Knop--Sahi in type $A$, and Okounkov in type $BC$. They are inhomogeneous polynomials whose top terms are Jack and Macdonald polynomials. Thus the expansion coefficients for the product of two…
Inequalities among symmetric polynomial functions are fundamental questions in mathematics and have various applications in science and engineering. This paper investigates a beautiful and inspiring conjecture, proposed by Cuttler, Greene…
We consider Jack polynomials $J_\lambda$ and their shifted analogue $J^#_\lambda$. In 1989, Stanley conjectured that $\langle J_\mu J_\nu, J_\lambda \rangle$ is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients in the parameter $\alpha$. In this…
In this paper we discuss a general framework in which we present a new conjecture, due to Wenhua Zhao, the Image Conjecture. This conjecture implies the Generalized Vanishing Conjecture and hence the Jacobian Conjecture. Crucial ingredient…
We make progress towards understanding the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $g_{\lambda,\mu}^{\nu}$ for products of Jack symmetric functions. Building on recent results of the second author, we are able to prove new cases of…
The stretched Littlewood-Richardson coefficient $c^{t\nu}_{t\lambda,t\mu}$ was conjectured by King, Tollu, and Toumazet to be a polynomial function in $t.$ It was shown to be true by Derksen and Weyman using semi-invariants of quivers.…
Majorization inequalities have a long history, going back to Maclaurin and Newton. They were recently studied for several families of symmetric functions, including by Cuttler--Greene--Skandera (2011), Sra (2016), Khare--Tao (2021),…
The wonderful formulas by I.Dumitriu and A.Edelman rewrite $\beta$-ensemble, with eigenvalue integrals containing Vandermonde factors in the power $2\beta$, through integrals over tridiagonal matrices, where $\beta$-dependent are the powers…
The Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^\nu_{\lambda,\mu}$ are the multiplicities in the tensor product decomposition of two irreducible representations of the general linear group GL$(n, {\mathbb C})$. They are parametrized by the…
The Jacobian conjecture over a field of characteristic zero is considered directly in view of the nonlinear partial differential equations it is associated with. Exploring the integrals of such partial differential equations, this work…
