The plethysm coefficient $p(\nu, \mu, \lambda)$ is the multiplicity of the Schur function $s_\lambda$ in the plethysm product $s_\nu \circ s_\mu$. In this paper we use Schur--Weyl duality between wreath products of symmetric groups and the…

As a consequence of the main result of this paper efficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of a $T-$periodic solution to the second order differential equation \begin{equation*} u"=\frac{h(t)}{u^{\lambda}} \end{equation*} are…

We prove a variety of results describing the possible diagonals of tuples of commuting hermitian operators in type $II_1$ factors. These results are generalisations of the classical Schur-Horn theorem to the infinite dimensional,…

In these lectures, we discuss some well-known facts about Clifford algebras: matrix representations, Cartan's periodicity of 8, double coverings of orthogonal groups by spin groups, Dirac equation in different formalisms, spinors in $n$…

Determining if a symmetric function is Schur-positive is a prevalent and, in general, a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper we study the Schur-positivity of a family of symmetric functions. Given a partition \lambda, we denote by…

We calculate Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(\Delta(\lambda), \Delta(\mu)), Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(L(\lambda), \Delta(\mu)), Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(\Delta(\lambda), L(\mu)), and Ext^*_{SL_2(k)}(L(\lambda), L(\mu)), where \Delta(\lambda) is the Weyl module of highest…

We show that the shifted rank, or srank, of any partition $\lambda$ with distinct parts equals the lowest degree of the terms appearing in the expansion of Schur's $Q_{\lambda}$ function in terms of power sum symmetric functions. This gives…

Using the parent Lagrangian approach we construct a dual formulation, in the sense originally proposed by Curtright and Freund, of a massive spin two Fierz-Pauli theory in arbitrary dimensions $D$. This is achieved in terms of a mixed…

We consider the optimization problem of maximizing the $k$-th Laplacian eigenvalue, $\lambda_{k}$, over flat $d$-dimensional tori of fixed volume. For $k=1$, this problem is equivalent to the densest lattice sphere packing problem. For…

Deforming the domain of integration after complexification of the field variables is an intriguing idea to tackle the sign problem. In thimble regularization the domain of integration is deformed into an union of manifolds called Lefschetz…

We study systems with a crossover parameter lambda, such as the temperature T, which has a threshold value lambda* across which the correlation function changes from exhibiting fixed wavelength (or time period) modulations to continuously…

We consider the expansion of the square of a complete homogeneous function $h_\lambda$, or of an elementary symmetric function $e_\lambda$, in the basis of Schur functions. This square also decomposes into two plethysms, $s_2[h_\lambda]$…

For the general linear group $GL_n(k)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, there are two types of "twisting" operations that arise naturally on partitions. These are of the form $\lambda \rightarrow p\lambda$ and…

We give two "complementary" descriptions of the curve $\Gamma$ parametrizing double-Bloch solutions to the difference analogue of the Lam\'e equation. The curve depends on a positive integer number $\ell$ and two continuous parameters: the…

We prove a determinantal identity concerning Schur functions for 2-staircase diagrams lambda=(ln+l',ln,l(n-1)+l',l(n-1),...,l+l',l,l',0). When l=1 and l'=0 these functions are related to the partition function of the 6-vertex model at the…

We investigate the problem of the existence of a density matrix rho on the product of three Hilbert spaces with given marginals on the pair (1,2) and the pair (2,3). While we do not solve this problem completely we offer partial results in…

This paper aims at extending our previous work on the solution of the one-dimensional Dirac equation using the Tridiagonal Representation Approach (TRA). In the approach, we expand the spinor wavefunction in terms of suitable square…

We give the first positive formulas for the weights of every simple highest weight module $L(\lambda)$ over an arbitrary Kac-Moody algebra. Under a mild condition on the highest weight, we also express the weights of $L(\lambda)$ as an…

The geometry of a toroidal scheme over a DVR is encoded in a $\mathbb{Z}$-PL space known as the dual polyhedral complex. Any such dual complex is a skeleton, i.e. a nonarchimedean analytic retract, and admits a combinatorial divisor theory…

We study the axial and polar perturbations of slowly rotating Ellis-Bronnikov wormholes in General Relativity, applying a perturbative double expansion. In particular, we derive the equations for $l=2$, $M_z=2$ perturbations of these…
