Let the symmetric functions be defined for the pair of integers $\left( n,r\right) $, $n\geq r\geq 1$, by $p_{n}^{\left( r\right) }=\sum m_{\lambda }$ where $m_{\lambda }$ are the monomial symmetric functions, the sum being over the…

Let $\lambda =\left( \lambda_{1},\lambda_{2},...,\lambda_{r}\right) $ be an integer partition, and $\left[p_{\lambda }\right] $ the $q$-analog of the symmetric power function $%p_{\lambda }$. This $q$-analogue has been defined as a special…

We obtain the specialization of monomial symmetric functions on the alphabet (a-b)/(1-q). This gives a remarkable algebraic identity, and four new developments for the Macdonald polynomial associated with a row. The proofs are given in the…

Given a partition $\lambda$, we write $e_j(\lambda)$ for the $j^{\textrm{th}}$ elementary symmetric polynomial $e_j$ evaluated at the parts of $\lambda$ and $e_jp_A(n)$ for the sum of $e_j(\lambda)$ as $\lambda$ ranges over the set of…

Let $\mathrm{JT}_\lambda$ be the Jacobi-Trudi matrix corresponding to the partition $\lambda$, so $\det\mathrm{JT}_\lambda$ is the Schur function $s_\lambda$ in the variables $x_1,x_2,\dots$. Set $x_1=\cdots=x_n=1$ and all other $x_i=0$.…

We extend the family non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials and define general-basement Macdonald polynomials. We show that these also satisfy a triangularity property with respect to the monomials bases and behave well under the…

We investigate the homogeneous symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_\lambda(\X;q,t)$ for the specialization $t=q^k$. We show an identity relying the polynomials $P_\lambda(\X;q,q^k)$ and $P_\lambda(\frac{1-q}{1-q^k}\X;q,q^k)$. As a…

Haglund's conjecture states that $\dfrac{\langle J_{\lambda}(q,q^k),s_\mu \rangle}{(1-q)^{|\lambda|}} \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}[q]$ for all partitions $\lambda,\mu$ and all non-negative integers $k$, where $J_{\lambda}$ is the integral form…

We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…

We examine the non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials $E_\lambda(x;q,t)$ at $q=1$, as well as the more general permuted-basement Macdonald polynomials. When $q=1$, we show that $E_\lambda(x;1,t)$ is symmetric and independent of $t$ whenever…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let $E$ be a symmetric function space on $(0,\infty)$. Denote by $E(\mathcal{M})$ the non-commutative symmetric space of measurable operators affiliated with $\mathcal{M}$ and…

When $\lambda$ is a partition, the specialized non-symmetric Macdonald polynomial $E_{\lambda}(x;q;0)$ is symmetric and related to a modified Hall--Littlewood polynomial. We show that whenever all parts of the integer partition $\lambda$ is…

We argue that Jack Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $g_{\mu\nu}^{\lambda}(\alpha)$ are specialisations of certain novel polynomials. For the triple of partitions $(\mu,\nu,\lambda)=(21,21,321)$, we prove the corresponding polynomial is…

The ring of symmetric functions $\Lambda$, with natural basis given by the Schur functions, arise in many different areas of mathematics. For example, as the cohomology ring of the grassmanian, and as the representation ring of the…

We study the space, $R_m$, of $m$-symmetric functions consisting of polynomials that are symmetric in the variables $x_{m+1},x_{m+2},x_{m+3},\dots$ but have no special symmetry in the variables $x_1,\dots,x_m$. We obtain $m$-symmetric…

Let $P_n=k[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic zero in the variables $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ and $\mathscr{L}_n$ be the left-symmetric algebra of all derivations of $P_n$ \cite{Dzhuma99,UU2014-1}.…

Pak and Panova recently proved that the $q$-binomial coefficient ${m+n \choose m}_q$ is a strictly unimodal polynomial in $q$ for $m,n \geq 8$, via the representation theory of the symmetric group. We give a direct combinatorial proof of…

We consider the family of diagonal hypersurfaces with monomial deformation $$D_{d, \lambda, h}: x_1^d + x_2^d \dots + x_n^d - d \lambda \, x_1^{h_1} x_2^{h_2} \dots x_n^{h_n}=0$$ where $d = h_1+h_2 +\dots + h_n$ with $\gcd(h_1, h_2, \dots…

Fully inhomogeneous spin Hall-Littlewood symmetric rational functions $F_\lambda$ are multiparameter deformations of the classical Hall-Littlewood symmetric polynomials and can be viewed as partition functions in $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ higher…

We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{\lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the…
