Let $r(k,A,n)$ denote the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $k$ elements of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$. In 2002, Dombi conjectured that if $A$ is co-infinite, then the sequence $(r(k,A,n))_{n \geq 0}$ cannot be strictly…

We prove a conjecture about mininmal index of certain representations of Coset Algebraic Conformal Field Theories under general conditions as formulated previously by us. As a by-product, the Kac-Wakimoto Conjecture (KWC) which is related…

We introduce two vertex operators to realize skew odd orthogonal characters $so_{\lambda/\mu}(x^{\pm})$ and derive the Cauchy identity for the skew characters via Toeplitz-Hankel-type determinant similar to the Schur functions. The method…

We compute the generating function for the characters of the irreducible representations of SU(n) whose associated Young diagrams have only two rows with the same number of boxes. The result is a rational determinantal expression in which…

It has been conjectured that if the number of distinct irreducible constituents of the product of two faithful irreducible characters of a finite $p$-group, for $p\geq5$, is bigger than $(p+1)/2$, then it is at least $p$. We give a…

In this paper, based on the value of central character on the transposition, we find structure and large genus asymptotics of certain Hurwitz numbers.

Keeping in mind some salient features of quantum symmetry groups and in lieu of the interesting critique by Baskaran and Anderson of the hypothesis of the SO(5) model of Zhang and the related works of others such as Sachdev to describe…

Let $U_n$ denote the group of upper $n \times n$ unitriangular matrices over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of order $q$. That is, $U_n$ consists of upper triangular $n \times n$ matrices having every diagonal entry equal to $1$. It is…

We obtain large n asymptotics for products of powers of the absolute values of the characteristic polynomials in the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble of n\times n matrices. Our results can also be interpreted as asymptotics of the determinant of a…

We study asymptotics of characters of the symmetric groups on a fixed conjugacy class. It was proved by Kerov that such a character can be expressed as a polynomial in free cumulants of the Young diagram (certain functionals describing the…

Let G be the unramified unitary group in three variables defined over a p-adic field F of odd resudual characteristic. Gelbart, Piatetski-Shapiro and Baruch attached zeta integrals of Rankin-Selberg type to irreducible generic…

In this paper, we will point out a gap in the proof of a theorem of G.Hill (J. Algebra, 174 (1995), 610-635) and will give new arguments to give a remedy in the non-dyadic case modulo a conjecture on the triviality of certain Schur…

This paper discusses the asymptotic behaviour of the number of descents in a random signed permutation and its inverse, which was posed as an open problem by Chatterjee and Diaconis in a recent publication. For that purpose, we generalize…

Formal asymptotics are substantiated that describe typical dropping cusp singularity of quasiclassical approximations to solutions of two cases of the integrable nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation…

We show that with respect to the q-Plancherel measure on partitions of size n, the irreducible characters of an Hecke algebra $H_q(S_n)$ are concentrated around the normalized trace of $H_q(S_n)$. More precisely, we prove that the…

Let $ \chi $ be a character of a complex irreducible representation of a finite group $G$. We present a simple formula for the expectation of the random variable $(|\chi|/\chi(1))^{t} $ in terms of character ratios $…

We give examples of finite string $C$-groups (the automorphism groups of abstract regular polytopes) that have irreducible characters of real Schur index $2$. This answers a problem of Monson concerning these groups.

We develop a new framework to compute the exact correlators of characteristic polynomials, and their inverses, in random matrix theory. Our results hold for general potentials and incorporate the effects of an external source. In matrix…

The q-characters of quantum loop algebras are very important objects in representation theory. In [20], we showed that q-characters factor as a power series of the form studied in [9] times a character, an important phenomenon which had…

Let $G$ be a finite symmetric, general linear, or general unitary group defined over a field of characteristic coprime to $3$. We construct a canonical correspondence between irreducible characters of degree coprime to $3$ of $G$ and those…
