We consider path-connected sets of matrices and the induced paths between eigenvalues. We discuss the equivalence relation generated by these paths, and how it relates to the presence of higher multiplicity eigenvalues realized by the set.…
J.-C. Yoccoz proposed a natural extension of Selberg's Eigenvalue Conjecture to moduli spaces of abelian differentials. We prove an approximation to this conjecture. This gives a qualitative generalization of Selberg's $\frac{3}{16}$…
We derive an identity for Margulis invariants of affine deformations of a complete orientable one-ended hyperbolic sur- face following the identities of McShane, Mirzakhani and Tan- Wong-Zhang. As a corollary, a deformation of the surface…
In this short Survey we revisit the subject of local, identity-tangent diffeomorphisms of $\doC$ and their analytic invariants, under two viewpoints: that of explicit expansions, which necessarily involve multitangents and multizetas; and…
The Kashiwara-Vergne (KV) conjecture is a property of the Campbell-Hausdorff series put forward in 1978. It has been settled in the positive by E. Meinrenken and the first author in 2006. In this paper, we study the uniqueness issue for the…
We give a new proof of a theorem of Mansour and Sun by using number theory and Rothe's identity.
Starting from a mistake done by a student, we discover an unexpected method of finding both eigenvectors for a $2\times2$ matrix with distinct eigenvalues in a single computation. We discuss a connection with the Cayley-Hamilton theorem,…
In 2004, Zhi-Wei Sun posed the following conjecture: If a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k (k>1) are finitely many pairwise disjoint left cosets in a group G with all the indices [G:G_i] finite, then for some 1\le i<j\le k, the greatest common divisor of…
Let $x_1, \dots, x_n$ be points in a metric space and define the distance matrix $D \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ by ${D}_{ij} = d(x_i, x_j)$. The Perron-Frobenius Theorem implies that there is an eigenvector $v \in \mathbb{R}^n_{}$ with…
Recently, Rosengren utilized an integral method to prove a number of conjectural identities found by Kanade and Russell. Using this integral method, we give new proofs to some double sum identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type. These identities…
Recently, Kim-Jang-Yi have introduced q-Bernstein polynomials. From these q-Berstein polynomials, we investigte some properties related to q-Stirling numbes and q-Bernoulli numbes.
In this paper, we first give a simple combinatorial proof of Tepper's identity. Then, as a by product of this interesting identity we present another proof of the well-known Wilson's identity in number theory. Finally, we obtain a…
A conjecture from a paper by J. Bierkens and A.C.M. Ran concerning the location of eigenvalues of rank one perturbations of singular M-matrices is shown to be false in dimension four and higher, but true for dimension two, as well as for…
This paper suggests an algebraic version of the theorem on the existence of eigenvectors for linear operators in abstract idempotent spaces. Earlier, the theorem on the existence of eigenvectors was only known for the cases of a free…
We present a different proof of the characterization of non--degenerate recurrence sequences, which are also divisibility sequences, given by Van der Poorten, Bezevin, and Petho in their paper "A Full Characterisation of Divisibility…
In this paper, we fix a polynomial with complex coefficients and determine the eigenforms for SL2(Z) which can be expressed as the fixed polynomial evaluated at other eigenforms. In particular, we show that when one excludes trivial cases,…
Kanade and Russell conjectured several Rogers-Ramanujan-type partition identities, some of which are related to level $2$ characters of the affine Lie algebra $A_9^{(2)}$. Many of these conjectures have been proved by Bringmann,…
We prove an inverse relation and a family of convolution formulas involving partial Bell polynomials. Known and some presumably new combinatorial identities of convolution type are discussed. Our approach relies on an interesting…
We consider several extensions of the Maillet determinant studied by Malo, Turnbull, and Carlitz and Olson, and derive properties of the underlying matrices. In particular, we compute the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of these matrices,…
We prove three conjectures concerning the evaluation of determinants, which are related to the counting of plane partitions and rhombus tilings. One of them was posed by George Andrews in 1980, the other two were by Guoce Xin and Christian…
