The number of partitions of $n$ wherein odd parts are distinct and even parts are unrestricted, often denoted by $pod(n)$. In this paper, we provide linear recurrence relations for $pod(n)$, and the connections of $pod(n)$ with other…
In this paper we present several results on the expected complexity of a convex hull of $n$ points chosen uniformly and independently from a convex shape. (i) We show that the expected number of vertices of the convex hull of $n$ points,…
The long code is a central tool in hardness of approximation, especially in questions related to the unique games conjecture. We construct a new code that is exponentially more efficient, but can still be used in many of these applications.…
The original motivation for study for hook length polynomials was to find a combinatorial proof for a hook length formula for binary trees given by Postnikov, as well as a proof for a hook length polynomial formula conjectured by Lascoux.…

Let $\mathcal{B}(n)$ denote the collection of all set partitions of $[n]$. Suppose $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{B}(n)$ is a non-trivial $t$-intersecting family of set partitions i.e. any two members of $\A$ have at least $t$ blocks in…
In this paper, we introduce and develop the circle embedding method. This method hinges essentially on a combinatorial-geometric structure which we choose to call circles of partition. We provide applications in the context of problems that…
We study the complexity of computing Kronecker coefficients $g(\lambda,\mu,\nu)$. We give explicit bounds in terms of the number of parts $\ell$ in the partitions, their largest part size $N$ and the smallest second part $M$ of the three…
The Borel-Weil-Bott theorem can be used to decompose the cohomology of twisted sheaves of holomorphic forms on the complex Grassmannian into irreducible representations of the general linear group. By analyzing this decomposition, we…
A cascade of dihedral symmetries is hidden in Young's lattice of integer partitions. In fact, for each integer N>2 the Hasse graph of the subposet consisting of the partitions with maximal hook length strictly less than N has the dihedral…
We show that the homological finiteness length of a non-uniform lattice on a locally finite CAT(0) n-dimensional polyhedral complex is less than n. As a corollary, we obtain an upper bound for the homological finiteness length of arithmetic…
Linear inequalities involving Euler's partition function $p(n)$ have been the subject of recent studies. In this article, we consider the partition function $Q(n)$ counting the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. Using truncated theta…
There is a well-studied correspondence by Jaclyn Anderson between partitions that avoid hooks of length s or t and certain binary strings of length s+t. Using this map, we prove that the total size of a random partition of this kind…
For a positive integer $r$, George Andrews proved that the set of partitions of $n$ in which odd multiplicities are at least $2r + 1$ is equinumerous with the set of partitions of $n$ in which odd parts are congruent to $2r + 1$ modulo $4r…
We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and…
There are $k$ kinds of length $k$ hooks with different arm length. Actually, this $k$ kinds appear uniformly in Young diagrams of size $n$. The property ``appear uniformly'' is called super symmetric. We give a combinatorial proof of the…
