We motivate and prove a series of identities which form a generalization of the Euler's pentagonal number theorem, and are closely related to specialized Macdonald's identities for powers of the Dedekind $\eta$--function. More precisely, we…

We conjecture affine or Hall-Littlewood analogues of the dual Jacobi-Trudi formulas for orthogonal and symplectic Schur functions indexed by rectangular partitions of maximal height. These conjectures are then used to derive $t$-analogues…

Given an integer $M\geq 2$, we deploy the generating function techniques to compute the number of $M$-th roots of identity in some of the well-known finite groups of Lie type, more precisely for finite general linear groups, symplectic…

The theory of quantum symmetric pairs is applied to $q$-special functions. Previous work shows the existence of a family $\chi$-spherical functions indexed by the integers for each Hermitian quantum symmetric pair. A distinguished family of…

This paper contains a complete description of minimal non-gatherable triangle triples in the lambda-sequences for the affine classical root systems and some claims for arbitrary (reduced) affine root systems. It continues our previous paper…

We determine an infinite family of linear identities for the number $A_4(n)$ of partition pairs of $n$ with $4$-cores by employing elementary $q$-series techniques and certain $3$-dissection formulas. We then discover an infinite family of…

The Andrews-Bressoud identities are one of many families of $q$-series identities relating an infinite sum to an infinite product. While the original motivation for studying these series relates to partitions, they can also be viewed in…

We give new proofs of MacMahon and Russell's modulo 6 identities using the method of weighted words. We also present a new refinement of MacMahon's identity, some related finite sum identities, and a companion partition theorem to sequence…

We define the formal affine Demazure algebra and formal affine Hecke algebra associated to a Kac-Moody root system. We prove the structure theorems of these algebras, hence, extending several result and construction (presentation in terms…

The following thesis contains results on the combinatorial representation theory of the finite Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$. In Chapter 2 simple combinatorial descriptions are given which determine when a Specht module corresponding to a…

A family of multiple integrals over four variables is rewritten in terms of a family of simple integrals involving the product of four modified Bessel (Macdonald functions). The latter are shown to be related to 7zeta(3)/2. A generalization…

We study connections between the ring of symmetric functions and the characters of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. We study two families of representations of the symplectic and orthogonal Lie…

We describe the multiplicative invariant algebras of the root lattices of all irreducible root systems under the action of the Weyl group. In each case, a finite system of fundamental invariants is determined and the class group of the…

A few years ago Foda, Quano, Kirillov and Warnaar proposed and proved various finite analogs of the celebrated Andrews-Gordon identities. In this paper we use these polynomial identities along with the combinatorial techniques introduced in…

We give a bijective proof of Macdonald's reduced word identity using pipe dreams and Little's bumping algorithm. This proof extends to a principal specialization due to Fomin and Stanley. Such a proof has been sought for over 20 years. Our…

An algebraic interpretation of the one-variable quantum $q$-Krawtchouk polynomials is provided in the framework of the Schwinger realization of $\mathcal{U}_{q}(sl_{2})$ involving two independent $q$-oscillators. The polynomials are shown…

We announce a series of results on the combinatorial study of the q-Catalan triangle (C_{n,k}(q)), defined by C_{n,0}(q)=q^{n(n-1)/2} and C_{n,k}(q)=C_{n,k-1}(q)+q^{n-k-1}C_{n-1,k}(q). We establish combinatorial interpretations via a…

We define for families of finite metric spaces quantitative assembly map estimates that take into account propagation phenomena for pseudo-differential calculus. We relate these estimates to the Novikov conjecture and we show that they fit…

We define an extension of the affine Brauer algebra, the type B/C affine Brauer algebra. This new algebra contains the hyperoctahedral group and it naturally acts on $END_K(X \otimes V^{\otimes k})$ for Orthogonal and Symplectic groups.…

In this paper we examine a number of term rewriting system for integer number representations, building further upon the datatype defining systems described in [2]. In particular, we look at automated methods for proving confluence and…
