Given a positive integer $N$ and $x$ irrational between zero and one, an $N$-continued fraction expansion of $x$ is defined analogously to the classical continued fraction expansion, but with the numerators being all equal to $N$. Inspired…

Three Fermion sumrules for interacting systems are derived at T=0, involving the number expectation $\bar{N}(\mu)$, canonical chemical potentials $\mu(m)$, a logarithmic time derivative of the Greens function $\gamma_{\vec{k} \sigma}$ and…

We introduce a new family $\mathcal{A}_{n,k}$ of Schur positive symmetric functions, which are defined as sums over totally symmetric plane partitions. In the first part, we show that, for $k=1$, this family is equal to a multivariate…

We study a linear map on symmetric functions that ``divides'' a partition by a positive integer $k$, sending a Schur function indexed by a partition of $kn$ to a symmetric function indexed by partitions of $n$. We determine its Schur…

We investigate a generalization of the classical notion of a Schur functor associated to a ribbon diagram. These functors are defined with respect to an arbitrary algebra, and in the case that the underlying algebra is the…

Let S be a subset of the unit disk, and let F(s) denote the class of completely multiplicative functions f such that f(p) is in S for all primes p. The authors' main concern is which numbers arise as mean-values of functions in F(s). More…

We introduce the multiple zeta functions with structures similar to those of symmetric functions such as Schur $P$-, Schur $Q$-, symplectic and orthogonal functions in the representation theory. We first consider their basic properties such…

A celebrated theorem due to R. Frucht states that, roughly speaking, each group is isomorphic to the symmetry group of some graph. By "symmetry group" the group of all graph automorphisms is meant. We provide an analogue of this result for…

We consider the asymptotics of sums of the form $$ \frac1{F_n^\sigma} \sum_{m = 1}^{F_n-1} \frac{f(m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} \frac{f(F_{n-1}m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi F_{n-1}m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} $$ where $(F_n)_{n \in…

We use the theory of symmetric functions to enumerate various classes of alternating permutations w of {1,2,...,n}. These classes include the following: (1) both w and w^{-1} are alternating, (2) w has certain special shapes, such as…

Steiner and Schwarz symmetrizations, and their most important relatives, the Minkowski, Minkowski-Blaschke, fiber, inner rotational, and outer rotational symmetrizations, are investigated. The focus is on the convergence of successive…

Subtraction-free computational complexity is the version of arithmetic circuit complexity that allows only three operations: addition, multiplication, and division. We use cluster transformations to design efficient subtraction-free…

We study convergence properties of sparse averages of partial sums of Fourier series of continuous functions. By sparse averages, we are considering an increasing sequences of integers $n_0 < n_1 < n_2 < ...$ and looking at…

Let $\{a_n\}_1^\infty$ and $\{\theta_n\}_0^\infty$ be the sequences of partial quotients and approximation coefficients for the continued fraction expansion of an irrational number. We will provide a function $f$ such that $a_{n+1} =…

Let $\cal R$ be either the Grothendieck semiring (semiring with multiplication) of complex algebraic varieties, or the Grothendieck ring of these varieties, or the Grothendieck ring localized by the class of the complex affine line. We…

The striking success of the Standard Model in explaining precision data and, at the same time, its lack of explanations for various fundamental phenomena, such as dark matter or the baryon asymmetry of the universe, suggests new physics at…

It is a classical fundamental result that Schur-positive specializations of the ring of symmetric functions are characterized via totally positive functions whose parametrization describes the Edrei-Thoma theorem. In this paper we study…

The dispersion relation of an elastic 4-point amplitude in the forward direction leads to a sum rule that connects the low energy amplitude to the high energy observables. We perform a classification of these sum rules based on massless…

In the base phi expansion any natural number is written uniquely as a sum of powers of the golden mean with digits 0 and 1, where one requires that the product of two consecutive digits is always 0. In this paper we show that the sum of…

Sample Space Reducing (SSR) processes are simple stochastic processes that offer a new route to understand scaling in path-dependent processes. Here we define a cascading process that generalises the recently defined SSR processes and is…
