We introduce tropical skeletons for Berkovich spaces based on results of Ducros. Then we study harmonic functions on good strictly analytic spaces over a non-trivially valued non-Archimedean field. Chambert-Loir and Ducros introduced…
Spin Hurwitz numbers are related to characters of the Sergeev group, which are the expansion coefficients of the Q Schur functions, depending on odd times and on a subset of all Young diagrams. These characters involve two dual subsets: the…
We present a new perspective on the Schottky problem that links numerical computing with tropical geometry. The task is to decide whether a symmetric matrix defines a Jacobian, and, if so, to compute the curve and its canonical embedding.…
The Hurwitz space is a compactification of the space of rational functions of a given degree. We study the intersection of various strata of this space with its boundary. A study of the cohomology ring of the Hurwitz space then allows us to…
We construct a cubic cut-and-join operator description for the partition function of the Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin topological recursion for a local spectral curve with simple ramification points. In particular, this class contains partition…
We consider solvable matrix models. We generalize Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber and certain other integrals (Gross-Witten integral and integrals over complex matrices) using the notion of tau function of matrix argument. In this case one…
We present positivity conjectures for the Schur expansion of Jack symmetric functions in two bases given by binomial coefficients. Partial results suggest that there are rich combinatorics to be found in these bases, including Eulerian…
In this paper, we define tropical analogues of real Hurwitz numbers, i.e. numbers of covers of surfaces with compatible involutions satisfying prescribed ramification properties. We prove a correspondence theorem stating the equality of the…
We develop the local Morse theory for a class of non-twice continuously differentiable functionals on Hilbert spaces, including a new generalization of the Gromoll-Meyer's splitting theorem and a weaker Marino-Prodi perturbation type…
Going beyond the studies of single and double Hurwitz numbers, we report some progress towards studying Hurwitz numbers which correspond to ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere involving three nonsimple branch points. We first prove a…
Kudryavtseva and Mazorchuk exhibited Schur-Weyl duality between the rook monoid algebra $\mathbb{C}R_n$ and the subalgebra $\mathbb{C}I_k$ of the partition algebra $\mathbb{C} A_k(n)$ acting on $(\mathbb{C}^n)^{\otimes k}$. In this paper,…
Recently Galashin, Grinberg, and Liu introduced the refined dual stable Grothendieck polynomials, which are symmetric functions in $x=(x_1,x_2,\dots)$ with additional parameters $t=(t_1,t_2,\dots)$. The refined dual stable Grothendieck…
Using tropical geometry one can translate problems in enumerative geometry to combinatorial problems. Thus tropical geometry is a powerful tool in enumerative geometry over the complex and real numbers. Results from $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy…
In a recent paper, Adamchik [V.S. Adamchik, On the Hurwitz function for rational arguments, Appl. Math. Comp. 187 (2007) 3--12] expressed in a closed form symbolic derivatives of four functions belonging to the class of functions whose…
We study tropical Dolbeault cohomology for Berkovich analytic spaces, as defined by Chambert-Loir and Ducros. We provide a construction that lets us pull back classes in tropical cohomology to classes in tropical Dolbeault cohomology as…
In the seminal work of Stanley, several conjectures were made on the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions. Motivated by recent results of Alexandersson and the present author, we…
The classical Hurwitz numbers of degree n together with the Hurwitz numbers of the seamed surfaces of degree n give rise to the Klein topological field theory. We extend this construction to the Hurwitz numbers of all degrees at once. The…
We construct the Jucys-Murphy elements and the Jucys-Murphy basis for the $q$-Brauer algebra in the sense of Mathas[11]. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the $q$-Brauer algebra being (split) semisimple over an arbitrary…
Murota et al. have recently developed a theory of discrete convex analysis which concerns M-convex functions on jump systems. We introduce here a family of M-concave functions arising naturally from polynomials (over a field of generalized…
An algorithm is designed which decomposes a tropical univariate rational function into a composition of tropical binomials and trinomials. When a function is monotone, the composition consists just of binomials. Similar algorithms are…
