We study Jack characters, which are the coefficients of the power-sum expansion of Jack symmetric functions with a suitable normalization. These quantities have been introduced by Lassalle who formulated some challenging conjectures about…

We investigate the existence and the orthogonality of the generalized Jack symmetric functions which play an important role in the AGT relations. We show their orthogonality by deforming them to the generalized Macdonald symmetric…

The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…

Starting from a graded Frobenius superalgebra $B$, we consider a graphical calculus of $B$-decorated string diagrams. From this calculus we produce algebras consisting of closed planar diagrams and of closed annular diagrams. The action of…

For each irreducible module of the symmetric group $\mathcal{S}_{N}$ there is a set of parametrized nonsymmetric Jack polynomials in $N$ variables taking values in the module. These polynomials are simultaneous eigenfunctions of a…

This article is devoted to the computation of Jack connection coefficients, a generalization of the connection coefficients of two classical commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group: the class algebra and the…

Let $\chi_\lambda$ be an irreducible character of the symmetric group $S_n$. For an $n \times n$ matrix $M = (m_{ij})$, define the immanant of $M$ corresponding to $\chi_\lambda$ by \begin{eqnarray*} d_\lambda(M) = \sum_{\sigma \in S_n}…

In this paper, we present a method to obtain regular (or equitable) partitions of Cayley (di)graphs (that is, graphs, digraphs, or mixed graphs) of permutation groups on $n$ letters. We prove that every partition of the number $n$ gives…

We consider the coincident root loci consisting of the polynomials with at least two double roots andpresent a linear basis of the corresponding ideal in the algebra of symmetric polynomials in terms of the Jack polynomials with special…

Let $n>1$ be an odd integer. For any primitive $n$-th root $\zeta$ of unity in the complex field. Via the Engenvector-eigenvalue Identity, we show that $$\sum_{\tau\in…

We give an explicit formula for the power-sum expansion of Jack polynomials. We deduce it from a more general formula, which we provide here, that interprets Jack characters in terms of bipartite maps. We prove Lassalle's conjecture from…

Graph independence (also known as $\epsilon$-independence or $\lambda$-independence) is a mixture of classical independence and free independence corresponding to graph products or groups and operator algebras. Using conjugation by certain…

Let $m_{\lambda }$ be the monomial symmetric functions, $ \lambda $ being an integer partition of $n\in \mathbb{N}^{\ast }$. For the specialization corresponding to the $q$-deformation of the exponential, we prove that each $m_{\lambda }$…

This paper introduces a new graph construction, the permutational power of a graph, whose adjacency matrix is obtained by the composition of a permutation matrix with the adjacency matrix of the graph. It is shown that this construction…

We study Jack polynomials in $N$ variables, with parameter $\alpha$, and having a prescribed symmetry with respect to two disjoint subsets of variables. For instance, these polynomials can exhibit a symmetry of type AS, which means that…

We show that each perfect matching in a bipartite graph $G$ intersects at least half of the perfect matchings in $G$. This result has equivalent formulations in terms of the permanent of the adjacency matrix of a graph, and in terms of…

Original proofs of the AGT relations with the help of the Hubbard-Stratanovich duality of the modified Dotsenko-Fateev matrix model did not work for beta different from one, because Nekrasov functions were not properly reproduced by…

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…

There is a space of vector-valued nonsymmetric Jack polynomials associated with any irreducible representation of a symmetric group. Singular polynomials for the smallest singular values are constructed in terms of the Jack polynomials. The…

In a recent work, we have initiated the theory of N=2 symmetric superpolynomials. As far as the classical bases are concerned, this is a rather straightforward generalization of the N=1 case. However this construction could not be…
