In The Delta Conjecture (arxiv:1509.07058), Haglund, Remmel and Wilson introduced a four variable $q,t,z,w$ Catalan polynomial, so named because the specialization of this polynomial at the values $(q,t,z,w) = (1,1,0,0)$ is equal to the…

A distinctive problem of harmonic analysis on $\R$ with respect to a Borel probability measure $\mu$ is identifying all $t\in\R$ such that both \[\left\{e^{-2\pi i\lambda x}: \lambda\in\Lambda\right\}\quad\text{and}\quad \left\{e^{-2\pi…

We determine the partitions $\lambda$ for which the corresponding induced module (or Schur module in the language of Buchsbaum et. al., [1]) $\nabla(\lambda)$ is injective in the category of polynomial modules for a general linear group…

Given a suitably regular nonnegative function $\omega$ on $(0,1]$, let $\mathcal B_\omega$ denote the space of all holomorphic functions $f$ on the unit ball $\mathbb B_n$ of $\mathbb C^n$ that satisfy $$|\nabla f(z)|\le…

We define functors on the derived category of the moduli space M of stable sheaves on a smooth projective surface (under Assumptions A and S below), and prove that these functors satisfy certain relations. These relations allow us to prove…

The purpose of this note is to give an insertion scheme proof of the formula, $$p_\mu = \sum_{\lambda\vdash k} \chi^\lambda(\mu)s_\lambda,\formula$$ where $p_\mu$ is the power sum symmetric function, $s_\lambda$ is the Schur function and…

We obtain new combinatorial formulae for modified Hall--Littlewood polynomials, for matrix elements of the transition matrix between the elementary symmetric functions and Hall-Littlewood's ones, and for the number of rational points over…

We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…

Let $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and $f(z)= \sum_{\alpha\in \mathbb{N}_0^d} c_\alpha z^\alpha$ be a convergent multivariable power series in $z=(z_1,\dots,z_d)$. In this paper we present two conditions on the positive coefficients $c_\alpha$ which…

We generalize and prove the recursive relation \[ S_{\lambda}(V) = \sum_{L\subseteq V\text{ line}} S_{\lambda}(V \mathbin{/\mkern-5mu/} L) \] conjectured by I. G. Macdonald for his "7th variation" of the Schur functions. This variation is a…

Let $(r_{A,n}(x))_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of polynomials with coefficients from a field $K$ satisfying the recurrence relation $r_{A,n}(x)= \sum_{|\alpha|\leq m} t_{\alpha,n}(x)\textbf{r}_{A,n}^\alpha(x)$ of order $d+1 \in…

From our work on partition functions in log gravity, we show that the palindromic numerators in two variables of bigraded symmetric orbifold Hilbert series take the form of sums of products of Kostka-Foulkes polynomials associated with a…

We present positivity conjectures for the Schur expansion of Jack symmetric functions in two bases given by binomial coefficients. Partial results suggest that there are rich combinatorics to be found in these bases, including Eulerian…

We generalize our puzzle formula for ordinary Schubert calculus on Grassmannians, to a formula for the T-equivariant Schubert calculus. The structure constants to be calculated are polynomials in {y_{i+1} - y_i}; they were shown…

We prove a Littlewood-Richardson type formula for $(s_{\lambda/\mu},s_{\nu/\kappa})_{t^k,t}$, the pairing of two skew Schur functions in the MacDonald inner product at $q = t^k$ for positive integers $k$. This pairing counts graded…

We study three-dimensional partition functions constructed from the tetrahedral $L$-operator introduced and studied by Bazhanov-Sergeev and Kuniba-Maruyama-Okado. First, we explore the $q=0$ case, extending the authors' previous results and…

In the theory of approximation there are some problems on approximation of compacts in functional spaces by nonlinear families : first we deal with the polynomial case, and then we consider the analytic case. We demonstrate a negative…

Some new relations on skew Schur function differences are established both combinatorially using Sch\"utzenberger's jeu de taquin, and algebraically using Jacobi-Trudi determinants. These relations lead to the conclusion that certain…

We generalize several classical results about Schur functions to the family of cylindric Schur functions. First, we give a combinatorial proof of a Murnaghan--Nakayama formula for expanding cylindric Schur functions in the power-sum basis.…

We use dual equivalence to give a short, combinatorial proof that Stanley symmetric functions are Schur positive. We introduce weak dual equivalence, and use it to give a short, combinatorial proof that Schubert polynomials are key…
