It is a well-known fact that over the complex numbers and for a fixed $k$ and $n$, a generic $s$ in $Sym^2V^*$ vanishes on some $k$-dimensional subspace of $V$ if and only if $n\geq 2k$. Tevelev found exact conditions for the extension of…

We prove that the $K$-$k$-Schur functions are part of a family of inhomogenous symmetric functions whose top homogeneous components are Catalan functions, the Euler characteristics of certain vector bundles on the flag variety.…

The extended Schur functions form a basis of quasisymmetric functions that contains the Schur functions. We provide a representation-theoretic interpretation of this basis by constructing $0$-Hecke modules whose quasisymmetric…

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 introduce the new concept of weighted $K$-$k$-Schur functions -- a novel family within the broader class of Katalan functions -- that unifies and extends both $K$-$k$-Schur functions and closed $k$-Schur Katalan functions. This new…

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…

The purpose of this expository note is to give a proof of a Schur-type theorem that characterizes the inner functions in terms of their Taylor coefficients. In view of Beurling's theorem, this provides a sequential characterization of the…

The notion of spherically symmetric superfunctions as functions invariant under the orthosymplectic group is introduced. This leads to dimensional reduction theorems for differentiation and integration in superspace. These spherically…

The Bernstein operator $\mathbf{B}_n$ acts on a Schur function $S_\lambda$ by appending a part to the index, i.e., $\mathbf{B}_n S_\lambda=S_{(n,\lambda)}$. This provides a method of constructing the vertex operator representation of Schur…

We give an explicit combinatorial formula for the Schur expansion of Macdonald polynomials indexed by partitions with second part at most two. This gives a uniform formula for both hook and two column partitions. The proof comes as a…

We prove the little Grothendieck theorem for any 2-convex noncommutative symmetric space. Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace $\t$, and let $E$ be an r.i. space on $(0, \8)$. Let $E(\M)$ be the…

We construct a generalization of the theory of symmetric functions involving functions of commuting and anticommuting (Grassmannian) variables. These new functions, called symmetric functions in superspace, are invariant under the diagonal…

We prove new double summation hypergeometric $q$-series representations for several families of partitions, including those that appear in the famous product identities of G\"ollnitz, Gordon, and Schur. We give several different proofs for…

We derive sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of the Cauchy-Riemann operator $\overline{\partial}$ between spaces of weighted smooth Fr\'echet-valued functions. This is done by establishing an analog of H\"ormander's theorem on the…

A set of functions is introduced which generalizes the famous Schur polynomials and their connection to Grasmannian manifolds. These functions are shown to provide a new method of constructing solutions to the KP hierarchy of nonlinear…

We study the class $\mathcal C$ of symmetric functions whose coefficients in the Schur basis can be described by generating functions for sets of tableaux with fixed shape. Included in this class are the Hall-Littlewood polynomials,…

We extend some results about shifted Schur functions to the general context of shifted Macdonald polynomials. We obtain two explicit formulas for these polynomials: a $q$-integral representation and a combinatorial formula. Our main tool is…

We say a sequence $f_0, f_1, f_2, \ldots$ of symmetric functions is Schur log-concave if $f_n^2 - f_{n-1}f_{n+1}$ is Schur positive for all $n\ge1$. We conjecture that a very general class of sequences of Schur functions satisfies this…

We study generalizations of Schur functors from categories consisting of flags of vector spaces. We give different descriptions of the category of such functors in terms of representations of certain combinatorial categories and infinite…

The partition function for unitary two matrix models is known to be a double KP tau-function, as well as providing solutions to the two dimensional Toda hierarchy. It is shown how it may also be viewed as a Borel sum regularization of…
