We give another proof for the (-1)-enumeration of self-complementary plane partitions with at least one odd side-length by specializing a certain Schur function identity. The proof is analogous to Stanley's proof for the ordinary…

We find a simple criterion for the equality $Q_\lambda=Q_{\mu/\nu}$ where $Q_\lambda$ and $Q_{\mu/\nu}$ are Schur's Q-functions on infinitely many variables.

We introduce partially defined Schur multipliers and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of extensions to fully defined positive Schur multipliers, in terms of operator systems canonically associated with their…

We consider the known functional identity on the Weierstrass sigma function. A complete classification of odd entire functions which satisfy the same identity is obtained.

In this paper, by the technique of inverse relations and comparing coefficients, we establish some generalized forms of Andrews' q-series identity and two new Bailey pairs and q-identities closely related to Andrews-Warnaar's sum identity…

We define and study rational discrete analytic functions and prove the existence of a coisometric realization for discrete analytic Schur multipliers.

We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{\lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the…

We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…

Motivated by rigorous development in the theory of digamma functions, we have first derived some new identities for the digamma function, and then computed the values of digamma function for the fractional orders using these identities…

Using Schur positivity and the principal specialization of Schur functions, we provide a proof of a recent conjecture of Liu and Wang on the $q$-log-convexity of the Narayana polynomials, and a proof of the second conjecture that the…

We use Young's raising operators to give short and uniform proofs of several well known results about Schur polynomials and symmetric functions, starting from the Jacobi-Trudi identity.

We introduce a Pfaffian formula that extends Schur's $Q$-functions $Q_\lambda$ to be indexed by compositions $\lambda$ with negative parts. This formula makes the Pfaffian construction more consistent with other constructions, such as the…

We develop the theory of Schur covers of finite skew braces. We prove the existence of at least one Schur cover. We also compute several examples. We prove that different Schur covers are isoclinic. Finally, we prove that Schur covers have…

A set of functions is defined which is indexed by a positive integer $n$ and partitions of integers. The case $n=1$ reproduces the standard Schur polynomials. These functions are seen to arise naturally as a determinant of an action on the…

We study the shifted convolution sums associated to completely multiplicative functions taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$ and give combinatorical proofs of two recent results in the direction of Chowla's conjecture. We also determine the…

We present an identity which can be regarded as a Pfaffian-Hafnian analogue of Borchardt's identity and as a generalization of Schur's identity. We give a proof using the complex analysis.

A Lie theoretic interpretation is given for some formulas of Schur functions and Schur $Q$-functions. Two realizations of the basic representation of the Lie algebra $A^{(2)}_2$ are considered; one is on the fermionic Fock space and the…

We prove two polynomial identities which are particular cases of a conjecture arising in the theory of L-functions of twisted Carlitz modules. This conjecture is stated in earlier papers of the second author.

A new type of polynomial analogue of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities is proven. Here the product-side of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities is replaced by a partial theta sum and the sum-side by a weighted sum over Schur polynomials.

Recently, the author and Yamamoto invented a new proof of the duality for multiple zeta values. The technique is applicable in other series identities. In this article, we exhibit such proofs for some series identities.
