Let u be a word over the positive integers P. Motivated by a question involving crystal graphs, Sagan and Wilson initiated the study of the centralizer of u in the plactic monoid which is the set C(u) = {w | uw is Knuth equivalent to wu}.…

We study a poset of compositions restricted by part size under a partial ordering introduced by Bj\"{o}rner and Stanley. We show that our composition poset $C_{d+1}$ is isomorphic to the poset of words $A_d^*$. This allows us to use…

The following ``Key Lemma'' plays an important role in Parusinski's work on the existence of Lipschitz stratifications in the class of semianalytic sets: For any positive integer n, there is a finite set of homogeneous symmetric polynomials…

We study unary parts of centraliser clones on the set $\{0,1,2,3\}$, so-called centralising monoids. We describe and count all centralising monoids on the set $\{0,1,2,3\}$ having majority operations as witnesses, and we list the inclusion…

Let P,Q be elements of the Weyl algebra W. We prove that if [Q,P]=1, then the centralizer of P is the polynomial algebra k[P].

We identify the dimension of the centralizer of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_d$ in the partition algebra $\mathcal{A}_d(\delta)$ and in the Brauer algebra $\mathcal{B}_d(\delta)$ with the number of multidigraphs with $d$ arrows and the…

Motivated by the discrete logarithmic Minkowski problem we study for a given matrix $U\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$ its cone-volume set $C_{\tt cv}(U)$ consisting of all the cone-volume vectors of polytopes $P(U,b)=\{ x\in\mathbb{R}^n :…

Given a word $w(x_{1},\ldots,x_{r})$, i.e., an element in the free group on $r$ elements, and an integer $d\geq1$, we study the characteristic polynomial of the random matrix $w(X_{1},\ldots,X_{r})$, where $X_{i}$ are Haar-random…

Let $c(x_1,...,x_d)$ be a multihomogeneous central polynomial for the $n\times n$ matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ over an infinite field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$. We show that there exists a multihomogeneous polynomial $c_0(x_1,...,x_d)$…

Let A and M be nonempty sets of positive integers. A partition of the positive integer n with parts in A and multiplicities in M is a representation of n in the form n = \sum_{a\in A} m_a a, where m_a is in M U {0} for all a in A, and m_a…

A probabilistic characterization of the dominance partial order on the set of partitions is presented. This extends work in "Symmetric polynomials and symmetric mean inequalities". Electron. J. Combin., 20(3): Paper 34, 2013. Let $n$ be a…

We introduce a quite large class of functions (including the exponential function and the power functions with exponent greater than one), and show that for any element $f$ of this function class, a self-adjoint element $a$ of a…

We consider the M\"obius function on the poset of element centers and obtain some new results regarding centralizers in a $p$-group.

The notion of commutation of operations in universal algebra leads to the concept of centralizer clone and gives rise to a well-known class of problems that we call centralizer problems, in which one seeks to determine whether a given set…

The normalizer $N_W(W_J)$ of a standard parabolic subgroup $W_J$ of a finite Coxeter group $W$ splits over the parabolic subgroup with complement $N_J$ consisting of certain minimal length coset representatives of $W_J$ in $W$. In this note…

Let $k$ be a field and $A\in M_n(k)$ be an $n\times n$ matrix. We denote $C_{M_n(k)}(A) = \{B\in M_n(k) : BA = AB\}$ be its centralizers in $M_n(k)$. The dimension of the space of centralizer was already known by Frobenius. This paper will…

The paper characterizes the convex hull of the closure of the cone-volume set $C_\cv(U)$, consisting of all cone-volume vectors of polygons with outer unit normals vectors contained in $U$, for any finite set $U \subseteq \R^2, \pos(U) =…

For an odd prime $p$ and an integer $w\ge 1$, polynomial quotients $q_{p,w}(u)$ are defined by $$ q_{p,w}(u)\equiv \frac{u^w-u^{wp}}{p} \bmod p ~~ \mathrm{with}~~ 0 \le q_{p,w}(u) \le p-1, ~~u\ge 0, $$ which are generalizations of Fermat…

Any multilinear non-central polynomial $p$ (in several noncommuting variables) takes on values of degree $n$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(F)$ over an infinite field $F$. The polynomial $p$ is called {\it $\nu$-central} for $M_n(F)$ if $p^\nu$…
