Jack polynomials generalize several classical families of symmetric polynomials, including Schur polynomials, and are further generalized by Macdonald polynomials. In 1989, Richard Stanley conjectured that if the Littlewood-Richardson…
The paper studies logarithmic convexity and concavity of power series with coefficients involving q-gamma functions or q-shifted factorials with respect to a parameter contained in their arguments. The principal motivating examples of such…
We prove a combinatorial formula for Macdonald cumulants which generalizes the celebrated formula of Haglund for Macdonald polynomials. We provide several applications of our formula. Firstly, it gives a new, constructive proof of a strong…
In a recent paper with Sahi and Stokman, we introduced quasi-polynomial generalizations of Macdonald polynomials for arbitrary root systems via a new class of representations of the double affine Hecke algebra. These objects depend on a…
Quantum analogues of the homogeneous spaces $\GL(n)/\SO(n)$ and $\GL(2n)/\Sp(2n)$ are introduced. The zonal spherical functions on these quantum homogeneous spaces are represented by Macdonald's symmetric polynomials…
We explore the applications of Lorentzian polynomials to the fields of algebraic geometry, analytic geometry and convex geometry. In particular, we establish a series of intersection theoretic inequalities, which we call rKT property, with…
Conditional on the extended Riemann hypothesis, we show that with high probability, the characteristic polynomial of a random symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrix is irreducible. This addresses a question raised by Eberhard in recent work. The main…
We are concerned with log-majorization for matrices in connection with the multivariate Golden--Thompson trace inequality and the Karcher mean (i.e., a multivariate extension of the weighted geometric mean). We show an extension of Araki's…
We express the integral form Macdonald polynomials as a weighted sum of Shareshian and Wachs' chromatic quasisymmetric functions of certain graphs. Then we use known expansions of these chromatic quasisymmetric functions into Schur and…
In this paper, a new lemma is proved and inequalities of Simpson type are established for co-ordinated convex functions and bounded functions.
The two variable Kostka functions are the scalar products of the Macdonald polynomials with the Schur polynomials with respect to the scalar product which makes the Hall-Littlewood polynomials pairwise orthogonal. A conjecture of Macdonald…
It is well known that general variational inequalities provide us with a unified, natural, novel and simple framework to study a wide class of unrelated problems, which arise in pure and applied sciences. In this paper, we present a number…
Concentration results and probabilistic analysis for combinatorial problems like the TSP, MWST, graph coloring have received much attention, but generally, for i.i.d. samples (i.i.d. points in the unit square for the TSP, for example).…
An important concept of convexificators has been extended to Hadamard manifolds in this paper. The mean value theorem for convexificators on the Hadamard manifold has also been derived. Monotonicity of the bounded convexificators has been…
We introduce a conjectural construction for an extension to superspace of the Macdonald polynomials. The construction, which depends on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations, is tested for high degrees. We conjecture a simple…
We introduce a new family of symmetric multivariate polynomials, whose coefficients are meromorphic functions of two parameters $(q,t)$ and polynomial in a further two parameters $(u,v)$. We evaluate these polynomials explicitly as a matrix…
This paper studies the log-convexity of the extended beta functions. As a consequence, Tur\'an-type inequalities are established.The monotonicity, log-convexity, log-concavity of extended hypergeometric functions are deduced by using the…
It is shown that for a given log-concave function, its symmetric decreasing rearrangement is always harder to approximate in the symmetric difference metric by inner log-linearizations with a fixed number of break points. This extends a…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the (skew) Macdonald and Jack symmetric polynomials as the number of variables grows to infinity. We characterize their limits in terms of certain variational problems. As an intermediate…
In this paper, we establish various inequalities for some differentiable mappings that are linked with the illustrious Hermite- Hadamard integral inequality for mappings whose derivatives are (h -($\alpha$?;m))-convex.The generalized…
