Let $f(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ of degree $n$. We attach to $f$ a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space $W(f)$ which consists of complex polynomials $p(x)$ of degree at most $n - 2$ such that $f(x)$ divides $f"(x)p(x) - f'(x) p'(x)$. The space $W(f)$…

We introduce the multiset partition algebra, ${\rm M\!P}_{r,k}(x)$, that has bases elements indexed by multiset partitions, where $x$ is an indeterminate and $r$ and $k$ are non-negative integers. This algebra can be realized as a diagram…

Let the group G of m-th roots of unity act on the complex line by multiplication, inducing an action on the algebra, Diff, of polynomial differential operators on the line. Following Crawley-Boevey and Holland, we introduce a multiparameter…

We determine the squarefree part of the scalar factor that arises when the quartic invariant of the generic binary form $F$ of odd degree $2n+1$ is expressed as the discriminant of the unique quadratic covariant $(F,F)_{2n}$. This…

A well-studied statistic of an integer partition is the size of its Durfee square. In particular, the number $D_k (n)$ of partitions of $n$ with Durfee square of fixed size $k$ has a well-known simple rational generating function. We study…

We define an $f$-restricted partition $p_f(n,k)$ of fixed length $k$ given by the bivariate generating series \begin{align*} Q_f(z,u) \coloneqq 1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} p_f(n,k) u^kz^n…

Let $\mathcal D_{d,k}$ denote the discriminant variety of degree $d$ polynomials in one variable with at least one of its roots being of multiplicity $\geq k$. We prove that the tangent cones to $\mathcal D_{d,k}$ span $\mathcal D_{d,k-1}$…

We develop a new algorithm for factoring a bivariate polynomial $F\in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ which takes fully advantage of the geometry of the Newton polygon of $F$. Under a non degeneracy hypothesis, the complexity is…

We prove a factorization theorem for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose kernel has a normalized complete Nevanlinna-Pick factor. This result relates the functions in the original space to pointwise multipliers determined by the…

The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…

We establish a new class of integrable {\it systems of Kowalevski type}, associated with discriminantly separable polynomials of degree two in each of three variables. Defining property of such polynomials, that all discriminants as…

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…

Counting integral binary quadratic forms with certain restrictions is a classical problem. In this paper, we count binary quadratic forms of fixed discriminant given restrictions on the size of their coefficients. We accomplish this by…

The theorem proved in this note, although elementary, is related to a certain misconception. If $K$ is a field, $f\in K[X]$ is separable and irreducible over $K$, and $g$ is a polynomial dividing $f$, whose coefficients lie in some finite…

We introduce and investigate the category of factorization of a multiplicative, commutative, cancellative, pre-ordered monoid $A$, which we denote $\mathcal{F}(A)$. The objects of $\mathcal{F}(A)$ are factorizations of elements of $A$, and…

The Grassmannian cluster algebra $\mathbb{C}[\text{Gr}(k, n)]$ admits a distinguished basis known as the dual canonical basis, whose elements correspond to rectangular semi-standard Young tableaux with $k$ rows and with entries in $[n]$. We…

In this paper, two structural results concerning low degree polynomials over finite fields are given. The first states that over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$, for any polynomial $f$ on $n$ variables with degree $d \le \log(n)/10$, there…

We prove that the partition function for tripartite double-dimer configurations of a planar bipartite graph satisfies a recurrence related to the Desnanot-Jacobi identity from linear algebra. A similar identity for the dimer partition…

Recently, Andrews, Bhattacharjee and Dastidar introduced the concept of $k$-measure of an integer partition, and proved a surprising identity that the number of partitions of $n$ which have $2$-measure $m$ is equal to the number of…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…
