We introduce a Pfaffian formula that extends Schur's $Q$-functions $Q_\lambda$ to be indexed by compositions $\lambda$ with negative parts. This formula makes the Pfaffian construction more consistent with other constructions, such as the…
We consider simple modules for a Hecke algebra with a parameter of quantum characteristic $e$. Equivalently, we consider simple modules $D^{\lambda}$, labelled by $e$-restricted partitions $\lambda$ of $n$, for a cyclotomic KLR algebra…
We use derived Hall algebra of the category of nilpotent representations of Jordan quiver to reconstruct the theory of symmetric functions, focusing on Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and various operators acting on them.
We verify that a certain functor $D\colon\text{Sp}^\Sigma(\text{Ch}^+)\to\text{Ch}$ is symmetric monoidal. This functor is used elsewhere in developing the model category theory of symmetric spectra and of chain complexes graded over…
Let ${\mathbb{D}}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ and for an integer $d\geq 1$, let $S_d$ denote the symmetric group, consisting of of all permutations of the set $\{1,\cdots, d\}$. A function $f:{\mathbb{D}}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is…
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…
We develop a calculus for $S_n$-equivariant Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of stable curves and stable maps. Our approach involves an enrichment of P\'olya's cycle index polynomial of a graph to a certain algebra $\Lambda^{[2]}$ of…
Plethysm of two Schur functions can be expressed as a linear combination of Schur functions, and monomial symmetric functions. In this paper, we express the coefficients combinatorially in the case of monomial symmetric functions. And by…
The classical Littlewood-Richardson rule is a rule for computing coefficients in many areas, and comes in many guises. In this paper we prove two Littlewood-Richardson rules for symmetric skew quasisymmetric Schur functions that are…
The ring of symmetric functions can be implemented in the homology of \union_{a,b} Gr(a,a+b), the multiplicative structure being defined from the "direct sum" map. There is a natural circle action (simultaneously on all Grassmannians) under…
We propose a $\Gamma$-convergent discrete approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional. The discrete functionals act on functions defined on stationary stochastic lattices and take into account general finite differences through a…
Our work deals with symmetric rational functions and probabilistic models based on the fully inhomogeneous six vertex (ice type) model satisfying the free fermion condition. Two families of symmetric rational functions $F_\lambda,G_\lambda$…
We systematically study wreath product Schur functions and give a combinatorial construction using colored partitions and tableaux. The Pieri rule and the Littlewood-Richardson rule are studied. We also discuss the connection with…
We derive group branching laws for formal characters of subgroups $H_\pi$ of GL(n) leaving invariant an arbitrary tensor $T^\pi$ of Young symmetry type $\pi$ where $\pi$ is an integer partition. The branchings $GL(n)\downarrow GL(n-1)$,…
In this paper, we use Schur elements to derive semisimplicity criteria for (super)symmetric superalgebras. We obtain a closed formula for the Schur elements of cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras $\mathcal{H}^{f}_{\mathbb{K}}$. As…
We classify the $Q$-homogeneous skew Schur $Q$-functions, i.e., those of the form $Q_{\lambda/\mu} = k \cdot Q_{\nu}$. On the way we develop new tools that are useful also in the context of other classification problems for skew Schur…
We give an alternative proof of the general chain rule for functions of bounded variation ([ADM90]), which allows to compute the distributional differential of $\varphi\circ F$, where $\varphi\in \mathrm{LIP}(\mathbb{R}^m)$ and…
We give a Littlewood-Richardson type rule for expanding the product of a row-strict quasisymmetric Schur function and a symmetric Schur function in terms of row-strict quasisymmetric Schur functions. This expansion follows from several new…
We introduce new families of cylindric symmetric functions as subcoalgebras in the ring of symmetric functions $\Lambda$ (viewed as a Hopf algebra) which have non-negative structure constants. Combinatorially these cylindric symmetric…
In this paper, we prove almost Schur Lemma on closed smooth metric measure spaces, which implies the results of X. Cheng and De Lellis-Topping whenever the weighted function f is constant.
