We study singularity of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on products of projective spaces of multidegree $(1,1...,1).$ This generalizes works of Bath, Musta{\c{t}}{\u{a}} and Walther on singularity of square-free polynomials. We also give a…

Fix n>2. Let s be a principally embedded sl(2)-subalgebra in sl(n). A special case of results of the second author and Gregg Zuckerman implies that there exists a positive integer b(n) such that for any finite dimensional…

We prove a formula for the degrees of Ikeda and Naruse's $P$-Grothendieck polynomials using combinatorics of shifted tableaux. We show this formula can be used in conjunction with results of Hamaker, Marberg, and Pawlowski to obtain an…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. The Carlitz rank of a permutation polynomial is a important measure of complexity of the polynomial. In this paper we find the sharp lower bound for the weight of any permutation…

We consider the loci of invertible linear maps $f : \mathbb{C}^n \to {(\mathbb{C}^n)}^*$ together with pairs of flags $(E_\bullet, F_\bullet)$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ such that the various restrictions $f : F_j \to E_i^*$ have specified ranks.…

Schur studied limits of the arithmetic means $s_n$ of zeros for polynomials of degree $n$ with integer coefficients and simple zeros in the closed unit disk. If the leading coefficients are bounded, Schur proved that $\limsup_{n\to\infty}…

We introduce a sequence $P_{2n}$ of monic reciprocal polynomials with integer coefficients having the central coefficients fixed. We prove that the ratio between number of nonunimodular roots of $P_{2n}$ and its degree $d$ has a limit when…

For any simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we show that the degrees of the "ADO" link polynomials coming from the unrolled restricted quantum group $\overline{U}^H_q(\mathfrak{g})$ at a root of unity give lower bounds to the Seifert…

Closed forms for $f_{\lambda,i} (q) := \sum_{\tau \in SYT(\lambda) : des(\tau) = i} q^{maj(\tau)}$, the distribution of the major index over standard Young tableaux of given shapes and specified number of descents, are established for a…

The polynomial ring $B$ in infinitely many indeterminates $(x_1,x_2,\ldots)$, with rational coefficients, has a vector space basis of Schur polynomials, parametrized by partitions. The goal of this note is to provide an explanation of the…

The work of Buch and Fulton established a formula for a general kind of degeneracy locus associated to an oriented quiver of type $A$. The main ingredients in this formula are Schur determinants and certain integers, the quiver…

We obtain an explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients of the elliptic modular polynomials $\Phi_N$ for any $N\geq1$. These polynomials vanish at pairs of $j$-invariants of elliptic curves linked by cyclic isogenies of degree…

We solve the following problem of Z. F\"uredi, J. C. Lagarias and F. Morgan [FLM]: Is there an upper bound polynomial in $n$ for the largest cardinality of a set S of unit vectors in an n-dimensional Minkowski space (or Banach space) such…

We study random permutations arising from reduced pipe dreams. Our main model is motivated by Grothendieck polynomials with parameter $\beta=1$ arising in K-theory of the flag variety. The probability weight of a permutation is proportional…

We show that the proportion of polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field with $q$ elements, which have a divisor of every degree below $n$, is given by $c_q n^{-1} + O(n^{-2})$. More generally, we give an asymptotic formula for the…

Using completions of certain universal enveloping algebras, we provide a natural setting for families of defining relations for the principal subspaces of standard modules for untwisted affine Lie algebras. We also use the theory of vertex…

The Hilbert class polynomial has as roots the j-invariants of elliptic curves whose endomorphism ring is a given imaginary quadratic order. It can be used to compute elliptic curves over finite fields with a prescribed number of points.…

Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$. In $2004$, Aziz and Rather \cite{aziz2004some} investigated the dependence of \[\bigg|P(Rz)-\alpha P(z)+\beta\biggl\{\biggl(\frac{R+1}{2}\biggr)^n-|\alpha|\biggr\}P(z)\bigg|, \ \text{for} \ z \in…

Consider the affine Lie algebra $\hat{s\ell}(n)$ with null root $\delta$, weight lattice $P$ and set of dominant weights $P^+$. Let $V(k\Lambda_0), \, k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$ denote the integrable highest weight $\hat{s\ell}(n)$-module…

Let K be a field of characteristic p>0, and let q be a power of p. We determine all polynomials f in K[t]\K[t^p] of degree q(q-1)/2 such that the Galois group of f(t)-u over K(u) has a transitive normal subgroup isomorphic to PSL_2(q),…
