We obtain exact, simple and very compact expressions for the linearization coefficients of the products of orthogonal polynomials; both the conventional Clebsch-Gordan-type and the modified version. The expressions are general depending…
We derive a new explicit formula in terms of sums over graphs for the $n$-point correlation functions of general formal weighted double Hurwitz numbers coming from the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili tau functions of hypergeometric type (also known…
We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…
The main goal of the paper is to present a new approach via Hurwitz numbers to Kontsevich's combinatorial/matrix model for the intersection theory of the moduli space of curves. A secondary goal is to present an exposition of the circle of…
Using elementary methods, we establish old and new relations between binomial coefficients, Fibonacci numbers, Lucas numbers, and more.
We prove a formula expressing the Kerov polynomial $\Sigma_k$ as a weighted sum over the lattice of noncrossing partitions of the set $\{1,...,k+1\}$. In particular, such a formula is related to a partial order $\mirr$ on the Lehner's…
I will present an explicit formula for the intersection indices of the Chern classes of an arbitrary reductive group with hypersurfaces. This formula has the following applications. First, it allows to compute explicitly the Euler…
We present a new proof of Witten's conjecture. The proof is based on the analysis of the relationship between intersection indices on moduli spaces of complex curves and Hurwitz numbers enumerating ramified coverings of the 2-sphere.
We use recent duality results of Eisenbud--Ulrich to give tools to study quadratically enriched residual intersections when there is no excess bundle. We use this to prove a formula for the Witt-valued Euler number of an almost complete…
We establish a formula for the Gromov-Witten-Welschinger invariants of $\mathbb CP^3$ with mixed real and conjugate point constraints. The method is based on a suggestion by J. Koll\'ar that, considering pencils of quadrics, some real and…
A study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary was recently initiated in a work of R. Pandharipande, J. P. Solomon and the third author, where they introduced open intersection numbers in genus 0.…
The problem on the minimal number (with respect to deformation) of intersection points of two closed curves on a surface is solved. Following the Nielsen approach, we define classes of intersection points and essential classes of…
In connection with Eisenstein series for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(n)$, Hecke introduced certain numbers, of which he said that they are rational and cumbersome to calculate. We show, however, that these numbers are…
Double Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the projective line with fixed branch points, with simple branching required over all but two points 0 and infinity, and the branching over 0 and infinity specified by partitions of the degree…
We explicitly characterize when the Milnor number at the origin of a polynomial or power series (over an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic) is the minimum of all polynomials with the same Newton diagram, which…
We determine the number of singularities - counted whit multiplicities - of generic distributions of dimension and codimension one on smooth complete intersections in compact toric orbifolds with isolated singularities. We also present some…
For a real affine hyperplane arrangement, we define an integer intersection matrix with a natural $q$-deformation related to the intersections of bounded chambers of the arrangement. By connecting the integer matrix to a bilinear form of…
We give a recipe to compute the geometric intersection number of an integral lamination with a particular type of integral lamination on an n-times punctured disk. This provides a way to find the geometric intersection number of two…
We prove a new Elekes-Szab\'o type estimate on the size of the intersection of a Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$ with an algebraic surface $\{f=0\}$ over the reals. In particular, if $A,B,C$ are sets of $N$ real numbers and $f$ is a…
We propose a method to compute the numerical solutions of a polynomial system in complete intersection. This algorithm makes use of Bezout matrices and need only linear algebra computations. All the calculations can be done in floating…
