We derive the loop equation for the 1-matrix model with generic difference-type measure for eigenvalues and develop a recursive algebraic framework for solving it to an arbitrary order in the coupling constant in and beyond the planar…
We are studying here the classical operator creating secondary polynomials associated with an orthogonal system for a continuous probability density function on a real interval. We know it is possible with the coupling of Stietjes…
Let $X^{(2)}$ denote the second symmetric product space of a partially ordered vector space $X$, endowed with the projective cone. A characterization of linear maps $T\colon X^{(2)}\to X^{(2)}$ which preserve the set of all positive…
In a recent paper by K.-H. Lee, K. Lee and M. Mills, a mutation of reflections in the universal Coxeter group is defined in association with a mutation of a quiver. A matrix representation of these reflections is determined by a linear…
The generating function and an explicit expression is derived for the (colored) Motzkin numbers of higher rank introduced recently. Considering the special case of rank one yields the corresponding results for the conventional colored…
We prove a complex Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius theorem for Markov shifts over an infinite alphabet, whence extending results by M. Pollicott from the finite to the infinite alphabet setting. As an application we obtain an extension of renewal…
We formulate a conjecture which generalizes Darmon's "refined class number formula". We discuss relations between our conjecture and the equivariant leading term conjecture of Burns. As an application, we give another proof of the "except…
In 1995, the first author introduced a multivariate generating function {$G$} that tracks the distribution of ascents and descents in labeled binary trees. In addition to proving that $G$ is symmetric, he conjectured that $G$ is Schur…
We construct an action of a polynomial ring on the colored sl(2) link homology of Cooper-Krushkal, over which this homology is finitely generated. We define a new, related link homology which is finite dimensional, extends to tangles, and…
We theoretically investigate the Andreev reflection of the pseudospin-1 Dirac fermions with either the $\pm U$-type or the $S_z$-type mass term. For the $\pm U$-type fermions, it is found that the Andreev reflection probability at the…
We provide new characterizations of pseudo-Frobenius and quasi-Frobenius rings in terms of tight modules. In the process, we also provide fresh perspectives on FGF and CF conjectures. In particular, we propose new natural extensions of…
It was shown by Kuperberg that the partition function of the square-ice model related to the quarter-turn symmetric alternating-sign matrices of even order is the product of two similar factors. We propose a square-ice model whose states…
The uniqueness of the Perron vector of a nonnegative block matrix associated to a multiplex network is discussed. The conclusions come from the relationships between the irreducibility of some nonnegative block matrix associated to a…
For the OEIS sequence A214615, defined by $a(n) = M_{n}(1)$ where $M_{n}$ is the $n$-th Meixner polynomial satisfying $M_{n+1}(x) = x\,M_{n}(x) - n^{2}\,M_{n-1}(x)$, R.~J.~Mathar contributed on 6~March 2013 the conjectured order-2…
It is well known that Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials with respect to measures supported on the real line satisfy higher-order recurrence relations and these can be expressed as a (2N+1)-banded symmetric semi-infinite matrix. In this…
Matrices of the form $\bf{A} + (\bf{V}_1 + \bf{W}_1)\bf{G}(\bf{V}_2 + \bf{W}_2)^*$ are considered where $\bf{A}$ is a $singular$ $\ell \times \ell$ matrix and $\bf{G}$ is a nonsingular $k \times k$ matrix, $k \le \ell$. Let the columns of…
We outline an algorithm for construction of functional bases of absolute invariants under the rotation group for sets of rank 2 tensors and vectors in the Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. We will use our earlier results for symmetric…
We prove a conjecture of Cohn and Propp, which refines a conjecture of Bosley and Fidkowski about the symmetry of the set of alternating sign matrices (ASMs). We examine data arising from the representation of an ASM as a collection of…
In this paper, we give two proofs of the wellfoundedness of recursive notation systems for $\Pi_N$-reflecting ordinals. One is based on $\Pi_{N-1}^0$-inductive definitions, and the other is based on distinguished classes.
We define refined invariants which "count" nodal curves in sufficiently ample linear systems on surfaces, conjecture that their generating function is multiplicative, and conjecture explicit formulas in the case of K3 and abelian surfaces.…
