We give a new method for the evaluation of a class of integrals of rational symmetric functions in N pairs of variables {x_a, y_a}_{a=1,... N} arising in coupled matrix models, valid for a broad class of two-variable measures. The result is…

We develop a combinatorial model of the associated Hermite polynomials and their moments, and prove their orthogonality with a sign-reversing involution. We find combinatorial interpretations of the moments as complete matchings, connected…

It is well known that the ring radical theory can be approached via language of modules. In this work, we present some generalizations of classical results from module theory, in the two-sided and graded sense. Let $\mathsf{G}$ be a group,…

We obtain the fermionic formulas for the characters of (k, r)-admissible configurations in the case of r=2 and r=3. This combinatorial object appears as a label of a basis of certain subspace $W(\Lambda)$ of level-$k$ integrable highest…

Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry studies isomorphisms between graded Frobenius algebras, known as A- and B-models. Fundamental to constructing these models is the computation of the finite, Abelian $\textit{maximal symmetry group}$…

When $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ is a real, linear algebraic group, the orbit method predicts that nearly all of the unitary dual of $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ consists of representations naturally associated to orbital parameters $(\mathcal{O},\Gamma)$. If…

For an $S^1$-framed modular operad $P$, we introduce its "Feynman compactification" denoted by $FP$ which is a modular operad. Let $\{\mathbb{M}^{\sf fr}(g,n)\}_{(g,n)}$ be the $S^1$-framed modular operad defined using moduli spaces of…

We study an open question at the interplay between the classical and the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjectures in positive characteristic. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, let $G$ be a finitely generated…

Orbit harmonics is a tool in combinatorial representation theory which promotes the (ungraded) action of a linear group $G$ on a finite set $X$ to a graded action of $G$ on a polynomial ring quotient by viewing $X$ as a $G$-stable point…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an untwisted affine Lie algebra with associated Weyl group $W_a$. To any level 0 weight $\gamma$ we associate a weighted graph $\Gamma_\gamma$ that encodes the orbit of $\gamma$ under the action $W_a$. We show that the…

We study the combinatorial types of periodic orbits of the standard covering endomorphisms ${\mathbf m}_k(x)=k x \ (\text{mod} \ {\mathbb Z})$ of the circle for integers $k \geq 2$ and the frequency with which they occur. For any $q$-cycle…

For fixed positive integers $n,m,r$, let $\mathrm{Mat}_{n \times m}(\mathbb{C})$ be the affine space of $n \times m$ complex matrices with coordinate ring $\mathbb{C}[\mathbf{x}_{n \times m}]$. We define a homogeneous ideal $I_{n,m,r}$,…

We prove some combinatorial results related to a formula on Hodge integrals conjectured by Mari\~no and Vafa. These results play important roles in the proof and applications of this formula by the author jointly with Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu…

We study the moduli stabilization by the radiative corrections due to the moduli dependent vector-like masses invariant under the finite modular symmetry. The radiative stabilization mechanism can stabilize the modulus $\tau$ of the finite…

In math.CO/0109093 the author obtained a formula for the value of an irreducible symmetric group character indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. In the present paper this formula is (conjecturally) generalized to arbitrary shapes.
