In this note, we present several identities involving binomial coefficients and the two kind of Stirling numbers.
We give a new proof of the identity $\zeta(\{2,1\}^l)=\zeta(\{3\}^l)$ of the multiple zeta values, where $l=1,2,\dots$, using generating functions of the underlying generalized polylogarithms. In the course of study we arrive at…
C.H. Yang discovered a polynomial version of the classical Lagrange identity expressing the product of two sums of four squares as another sum of four squares. He used it to give short proofs of some important theorems on composition of…
We give an elementary probabilistic proof of a binomial identity. The proof is obtained by computing the probability of a certain event in two different ways, yielding two different expressions for the same quantity.
Tensor polynomial identities generalize the concept of polynomial identities on $d \times d$ matrices to identities on tensor product spaces. Here we completely characterize a certain class of tensor polynomial identities in terms of their…
We obtain connection coefficients between $q$-binomial and $q$-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform $q$-binomial identities into a $q$-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we…
We introduce a finite version of free probability and show the link between recent results using polynomial convolutions and the traditional theory of free probability. One tool for accomplishing this is a seemingly new transformation that…
Multizeta values in positive characteristic were first introduced and studied by Thakur. He and Lara Rodr\'{\i}guez discovered and conjectured certain zeta-like families. Kuan and Lin stated more conjectures about zeta-like multizeta…
We prove some trigonometric identities involving Chebyshev polynomials of second kind. The identities were inspired by atomic form factor calculations. Generalizations of these identities, if found, will help to increase the numerical…
In this paper we introduce some Christoffel-Darboux type identities for independence polynomials. As an application, we give a new proof of a theorem of M. Chudnovsky and P. Seymour, claiming that the independence polynomial of a claw-free…
We extend the methods and results of [arXiv 1603.04896] to the setting of multinomial distributions satisfying certain properties. These include all the multinomial distributions arising from the direct proof of the Central Limit Theorem…
Classical binomial identities are established by giving probabilistic interpretations to the summands. The examples include Vandermonde identity and some generalizations.
In a seminal 2005 paper, Haagerup and Thorbj{\o}rnsen discovered that the norm of any noncommutative polynomial of independent complex Gaussian random matrices converges to that of a limiting family of operators that arises from…
The concept of freeness was introduced by Voiculescu in the context of operator algebras. Later it was observed that it is also relevant for large random matrices. We will show how the combination of various free probability results with a…
A combinatorial identity that was needed in Ahlgren and Ono's proof of a certain congruence conjecture of Frits Beukers is stated, and a pointer to its WZ proof is given.
We study polynomial identities satisfied by the mutation product $xpy - yqx$ on the underlying vector space of an associative algebra $A$, where $p, q$ are fixed elements of $A$. We simplify known results for identities in degree $4$,…
We present alternative, q-hypergeometric proofs of some polynomial analogues of classical q-series identities recently discovered by Alladi and Berkovich, and Berkovich and Garvan.
We prove that, for the free algebra over a sufficiently rich operad, a large subgroup of its group of tame automorphisms has Kazhdan's property (T). We deduce that there exists a group with property (T) that maps onto large powers of…
We extend to the multivariate non-commutative context the descriptions of a "once-stripped" probability measure in terms of Jacobi parameters, orthogonal polynomials, and the moment generating function. The corresponding map Phi on states…
A new scheme for proving pseudoidentities from a given set {\Sigma} of pseudoidentities, which is clearly sound, is also shown to be complete in many instances, such as when {\Sigma} defines a locally finite variety, a pseudovariety of…
