We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Sun on a determinant attached to a binary quadratic form. Let $n>3$ and let $c,d\in\Z$. If $n$ is composite, then \[ \det\big[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{n-2}\big]_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\equiv 0\pmod {n^2}…

The classical result of Vandermonde decomposition of positive semidefinite Toeplitz matrices, which dates back to the early twentieth century, forms the basis of modern subspace and recent atomic norm methods for frequency estimation. In…

We study higher order determinantal varieties obtained by considering generic $m\times n$ ($m \le n$) matrices over rings of the form $F[t]/(t^k)$, and for some fixed $r$, setting the coefficients of powers of $t$ of all $r \times r$ minors…

We give a simple formula for some determinants, and an analogous formula for pfaffians, both of which are polynomial identities. The second involve some expressions that interpolate between determinants and pfaffians. We give several…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

It is shown that a trivial version of polarization is sufficient to produce separating systems of polynomial invariants: if two points in the direct sum of the $G$--modules $W$ and $m$ copies of $V$ can be separated by polynomial…

We generalize Sylvester single sums to multisets (sets with repeated elements), and show that these sums compute subresultants of two univariate polyomials as a function of their roots independently of their multiplicity structure. This is…

We study a class of bivariate deformed Hermite polynomials and some of their properties using classical analytic techniques and the Wigner map. We also prove the positivity of certain determinants formed by the deformed polynomials. Along…

We study Chebyshev constants and transfinite diameter on the graph of a polynomial mapping $f\colon\mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{C}^2$. We show that two transfinite diameters of a compact subset of the graph (i.e., defined with respect to two…

In this paper we use the Vandermonde matrices and their properties to give a new proof of the classical result of Karl Weierstrass about the approximation of continuous functions $f$ on closed intervals, using a sequence of polynomials. The…

Effective computation of resultants is a central problem in elimination theory and polynomial system solving. Commonly, we compute the resultant as a quotient of determinants of matrices and we say that there exists a determinantal formula…

We present identities for permutations with fixed points. The formulas are based on successive derivations or integrations of the determinant of a particular matrix.

We consider the symmetric group $S_n$-module of the polynomial ring with $m$ sets of $n$ commuting variables and $m'$ sets of $n$ anti-commuting variables and show that the multiplicity of an irreducible indexed by the partition $\lambda$…

To each associative unitary finite-dimensional algebra over a normal base, we associative a canonical multiplicative function called its determinant. We give various properties of this construction, as well as applications to the topology…

In this paper, we find several determinants expressing the Fibonomial coefficients. We also give the generating functions, Vandermonde identity, and continued fractions about Fibonomial coefficients.

We derive identities for the determinants of matrices whose entries are (rising) powers of (products of) polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation. In particular, these results cover the cases for Fibonacci polynomials, Lucas…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra with highest root $\theta$. Given two non-negative integers $m$, $n$, we prove that the fusion product of $m$ copies of the level one Demazure module $D(1,\theta)$ with…

This paper presents a general method for combining uncertain and paradoxical source of evidences for a wide class of fusion problems. From the foundations of the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) we show how the DSm rule of combination can…

We define a filtration of a standard Whittaker module over a complex semisimple Lie algebra and and establish its fundamental properties. Our filtration specialises to the Jantzen filtration of a Verma module for a certain choice of…

In this short note we establish new refinements of multidimensional Szemeredi and polynomial van der Waerden theorems along the shifted primes.
