We define some generalizations of the classical descent and inversion statistics on signed permutations that arise from the work of Sack and Ulfarsson [20] and called after width-k descents and width-k inversionsof type A in Davis's work…

We give new proofs of the rationality of the N=1 superconformal minimal model vertex operator superalgebras and of the classification of their modules in both the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors. For this, we combine the standard free…

For each pair (k,r) of positive integers with r>1, we consider an ideal I^(k,r)_n of the ring of symmetric polynomials in n variables. The ideal I_n^(k,r) has a basis consisting of Macdonald polynomials P(x_1,...,x_n;q,t) at…

Using the combinatorics of $\alpha$-unimodal sets, we establish two new results in the theory of quasisymmetric functions. First, we obtain the expansion of the fundamental basis into quasisymmetric power sums. Secondly, we prove that…

We explain how genomic tableaux [Pechenik-Yong '15] are a semistandard complement to increasing tableaux [Thomas-Yong '09]. From this perspective, one inherits genomic versions of jeu de taquin, Knuth equivalence, infusion and Bender-Knuth…

New sequences of discrete orthogonal polynomials associated with the modified Bessel function $K_\mu(z)$ or Macdonald function are considered. The corresponding weight function is $\lambda^k \rho_{k+\nu+1}(t)/ k!$, where $\ k \in…

The two-parameter Macdonald polynomials are a central object of algebraic combinatorics and representation theory. We give a Markov chain on partitions of k with eigenfunctions the coefficients of the Macdonald polynomials when expanded in…

For closed $k$-Schur Katalan functions $\fg{\lambda}{k}$ with $k$ a positive integer and $\lambda$ a $k$-bounded partition, Blasiak, Morse and Seelinger proposed the alternating dual Pieri rule conjecture and the $k$-branching conjecture.…

Haglund, Morse, and Zabrocki introduced a family of creation operators of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, $\{C_{a}\}$ for any $a\in \mathbb{Z}$, in their compositional refinement of the shuffle (ex-)conjecture. For any $\alpha\vDash n$, the…

We give the explicit analytic development of Macdonald polynomials in terms of "modified complete" and elementary symmetric functions. These expansions are obtained by inverting the Pieri formula. Specialization yields similar developments…

Certain triples of power series, considered by I. Macdonald, give a natural framework for many combinatorial and number theoretic sequences, such as the Stirling, Bernoulli and harmonic numbers and partitions of different kinds. The power…

Recently, by the Riordan's identity related to tree enumerations, \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}(k+1)!(n+1)^{n-k} &=& (n+1)^{n+1}, \end{eqnarray*} Sun and Xu derived another analogous one, \begin{eqnarray*}…

We prove that the combinatorial side of the "Rational Shuffle Conjecture" provides a Schur-positive symmetric polynomial. Furthermore, we prove that the contribution of a given rational Dyck path can be computed as a certain skew LLT…

Parametric families in the centre ${\bf Z}({\bf C}[S_n])$ of the group algebra of the symmetric group are obtained by identifying the indeterminates in the generating function for Macdonald polynomials as commuting Jucys-Murphy elements.…

We study the asymptotics of Schur polynomials with partitions $\lambda$ which are almost staircase; more precisely, partitions that differ from $((m-1)(N-1),(m-1)(N-2),\ldots,(m-1),0)$ by at most one component at the beginning as…

We introduce a probabilistic generalization of the dual Robinson--Schensted--Knuth correspondence, called $qt$RSK${}^*$, depending on two parameters $q$ and $t$. This correspondence extends the $q$RS$t$ correspondence, recently introduced…

We establish new explicit connections between classical (scalar) and matrix Gegenbauer polynomials, which result in new symmetries of the latter and further give access to several properties that have been out of reach before: generating…

The dual stable Grothendieck polynomials are a deformation of the Schur functions, originating in the study of the K-theory of the Grassmannian. We generalize these polynomials by introducing a countable family of additional parameters, and…

For arbitrary $n$ complex numbers $a_{\nu-1}$, $\nu=1,\dots,n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large, we get the representation in the form of power sums: $a_{\nu-1}=\lambda_1^\nu+\dots+\lambda_{2n+1}^\nu$, where $\lambda_k$ are distinct points,…
