The inverse problem of general rough sets, considered by the present author in some of her earlier papers, in one of its manifestations is essentially the question of when an agent's view about crisp and non crisp objects over a set of…

In this paper we present a matricial result that generalizes Hironaka's game and Perron transforms simultaneously. We also show how one can deduce the various forms in which the algorithm of Perron appears in proofs of local uniformization…

Schmidt games and the Cantor winning property give alternative notions of largeness, similar to the more standard notions of measure and category. Being intuitive, flexible, and applicable to recent research made them an active object of…

We prove the so-called Unitary Isotropy Theorem, a result on isotropy of a unitary involution. The analogous previously known results on isotropy of orthogonal and symplectic involutions as well as on hyperbolicity of orthogonal,…

We prove a conjecture of Haglund which can be seen as an extension of the equidistribution of the inversion number and the major index over permutations to ordered set partitions. Haglund's conjecture implicitly defines two statistics on…

We prove the $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic duality theorem for the finite star-multiple polylogarithms. That is a generalization of Hoffman's duality theorem for the finite multiple zeta-star values.

We reprove Kuznetsov's "fundamental theorem of homological projective duality" using LG models and variation of GIT stability. This extends the validity of the theorem from smooth varieties to nice subcategories of smooth quotient stacks,…

We propose and prove a new polynomial identity that implies Schur's partition theorem. We give combinatorial interpretations of some of our expressions in the spirit of Kur\c{s}ung\"oz. We also present some related polynomial and $q$-series…

We start with a bijective proof of Schur's theorem due to Alladi and Gordon and describe how a particular iteration of it leads to some very general theorems on colored partitions. These theorems imply a number of important results,…

E\u{g}ecio\u{g}lu and Remmel provide a combinatorial proof (using special rim hook tableaux) that the product of the Kostka matrix $K$ and its inverse $K^{-1}$ equals the identity matrix $I$. They then pose the problem of proving the…

We provide a purely combinatorial proof of a skein exact sequence obeyed by double-point enhanced grid homology. We also extend the theory to coefficients over $\mathbb{Z},$ and discuss alternatives to the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o $\tau$…

We first give a combinatorial proof of Stanley's shuffle theorem by using the insertion lemma of Haglund, Loehr and Remmel. Based on this combinatorial construction, we establish several refinements of Stanley's shuffle theorem.

In this paper, we prove some combinatorial results on generalized cluster algebras. To be more precisely, we prove that (i) the seeds of a generalized cluster algebra $\mathcal A(\mathcal S)$ whose clusters contain particular cluster…

Inspired by recent work on refraction billiards in dynamics, we introduce a notion of refraction for combinatorial billiards. This allows us to define a generalization of toric promotion that we call toric promotion with reflections and…

Based on a bijection due to Fu and Tang, we provide combinatorial proofs of several partition identities of Andrews and Merca. We also introduce two weights for partitions to extend one of these identities.

Using the correspondence between a cycle up-down permutation and a pair of matchings, we give a combinatorial proof of the enumeration of alternating permutations according to the given peak set.

We prove an identity about partitions, previously conjectured in the study of shifted Jack polynomials (math.CO/9903020). The proof given is using $\lambda$-ring techniques. It would be interesting to obtain a bijective proof.

In this note, we find a combinatorial identity which is closely related to the multi-dimensional integral $\gamma_{m}$ in the study of divisor functions. As an application, we determine the finite dual of the group algebra of infinite…

A multivariate Gauss-Lucas theorem is proved, sharpening and generalizing previous results on this topic. The theorem is stated in terms of a seemingly new notion of convexity. Applications to multivariate stable polynomials are given.

We prove two identities of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, which appeared recently in a paper by two of the authors. We also conjecture, and in some cases prove, new identities which relate infinite sums of symmetric polynomials and partition…
