We use stratified Morse theory to construct a complex to compute the cohomology of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement with coefficients in a complex rank one local system. The linearization of this complex is shown to be the…

Let $pod_2(n)$ denote the number of $2$-regular partitions of $n$ with distinct odd parts (even parts are unrestricted). In this article, we obtain congruences for $pod_2(n)$ mod $2$ and mod $8$ using some generating function manipulations…

We prove the irreducibility of integer polynomials $f(X)$ whose roots lie inside an Apollonius circle associated to two points on the real axis with integer abscisae $a$ and $b$, with ratio of the distances to these points depending on the…

We study the row-space partition and the pivot partition on the matrix space $\mathbb{F}_q^{n \times m}$. We show that both these partitions are reflexive and that the row-space partition is self-dual. Moreover, using various combinatorial…

We propose a conjectural semiorthogonal decomposition for the derived category of the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree, independently formulated by Narasimhan. We discuss some evidence for, and…

It is well-known that separation of variables in 2nd order partial differential equations (PDEs) for physical problems with spherical symmetry usually leads to Cauchy's differential equation for the radial coordinate and Legendre's…

An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…

We study certain bijection between plane partitions and $\mathbb{N}$-matrices. As applications, we prove a Cauchy-type identity for generalized dual Grothendieck polynomials. We introduce two statistics on plane partitions, whose generating…

We study the algebraic properties of plethystic vertex operators, introduced in J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43 405202 (2010), underlying the structure of symmetric functions associated with certain generalized universal character rings of…

The plethysms of the Weyl characters associated to a classical Lie group by the symmetric functions stabilize in large rank. In the case of a power sum plethysm, we prove that the coefficients of the decomposition of this stabilized form on…

We prove a conjecture made by the first author: given an n-body central configuration X_0 in the euclidean space R^{2p}, let Im F be the set of ordered real p-tuples {\nu_1,\nu_2,...,\nu_p} such that {\pm i\nu_1,\pm i\nu_2,...,\pm i\nu_p}…

We study the localization of particles rotating in a two-dimensional harmonic potential by solving their rotational spectrum using many-particle quantum mechanics and comparing the result to that obtained with quantizing the rigid rotation…

We prove a conjecture of Cuttler et al.~[2011] [A. Cuttler, C. Greene, and M. Skandera; \emph{Inequalities for symmetric means}. European J. Combinatorics, 32(2011), 745--761] on the monotonicity of \emph{normalized Schur functions} under…

The Boolean lattice $2^{[n]}$ is the power set of $[n]$ ordered by inclusion. A chain $c_{0}\subset...\subset c_{k}$ in $2^{[n]}$ is rank-symmetric, if $|c_{i}|+|c_{k-i}|=n$ for $i=0,...,k$; and it is symmetric, if $|c_{i}|=(n-k)/2+i$. We…

In this paper, we investigate some properties on harmonic functions and solutions to Poisson equations. First, we will discuss the Lipschitz type spaces on harmonic functions. Secondly, we establish the Schwarz-Pick lemma for harmonic…

We give a sufficient criterion, which we call stability, for a coarse Lipschitz map $f$ from a complete manifold $X$ with Ricci curvature bounded below to a proper Hadamard space $Y$ to be within bounded distance of a harmonic map. We prove…

We prove combinatorial rules that give the minimal and maximal partitions labelling the irreducible constituents of a family of characters for the symmetric group that generalize Foulkes permutation characters. Restated in the language of…

This work studies the remarkable relationships that hold among certain m-tuples of the Garsia-Haiman modules $ {\bf M}_\mu$ and corresponding elements of the Macdonald basis. We recall that ${\bf M}_\mu$ is defined for a partition $\mu\part…

We consider an extended version of Horn's problem: given two orbits $\mathcal{O}_\alpha$ and $\mathcal{O}_\beta$ of a linear representation of a compact Lie group, let $A\in \mathcal{O}_\alpha$, $B\in \mathcal{O}_\beta$ be independent and…

We present an infinite family of recursive formulas that count binary integer partitions satisfying natural divisibility conditions and show that these counts are interrelated via partial sums. Moreover, we interpret the partitions we study…
