The HRT conjecture states that any finite collection of time-frequency shifts of a non-zero square-integrable function on the real line is linearly independent. In this paper, we establish the linear independence of finite systems of…

We introduce a new family of Schur functions $s_{\lambda/\mu;a,b}(x/y)$ that depend on two sets of variables and two sequences of parameters. These free fermionic Schur functions have a hidden symmetry between the two sets of parameters…

We classify and construct all multiplicity-free plethystic products of Schur functions. We also compute many new (infinite) families of plethysm coefficients, with particular emphasis on those near maximal in the dominance ordering and…

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…

Let $K/\mathbb Q$ be a finite Galois extension. Let $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_r$ be $r\geq 1$ distinct characters of the Galois group with the associated Artin L-functions $L(s,\chi_1),\ldots, L(s,\chi_r)$. Let $m\geq 0$. We prove that the…

The product of any finite number of factorial Schur functions can be expanded as a $Z[y]$-linear combination of Schur functions. We give a rule for computing the coefficients in such an expansion which generalizes a specialization of the…

We consider a family of Argyres-Douglas theories, which are 4D $\mathcal N=2$ strongly coupled superconformal field theories (SCFTs) but share many features with 4D $\mathcal N=4 $ super-Yang-Mills theories. In particular, the two central…

Let $s_\nu \circ s_\mu$ denote the plethystic product of the Schur functions $s_\nu$ and $s_\mu$. In this article we define an explicit polynomial representation corresponding to $s_\nu \circ s_\mu$ with basis indexed by certain…

We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the tensor product of modules over a Lie conformal algebra. We provide two algebraic constructions of the tensor product. We show the relation between tensor product and…

We develop the notion of independent resolutions for crossed products attached to totally disconnected dynamical systems. If such a crossed product admits an independent resolution of finite length, then its K-theory can be computed (at…

We study a multi-symmetric generalization of the classical Schur functions called the multi-symmetric Schur functions. These functions form an integral basis for the ring of multi-symmetric functions indexed by tuples of partitions and are…

We describe several infinite series of rational conformal field theories whose conformal characters are modular units, i.e. which are modular functions having no zeros or poles in the upper complex half plane, and which thus possess simple…

We introduce partial secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics which have uniformly positive scalar curvature outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. These can be used to distinguish such Riemannian metrics up…

After deriving inequalities on coefficients arising in the expansion of a Schur $P$-function in terms of Schur functions we give criteria for when such expansions are multiplicity free. From here we study the multiplicity of an irreducible…

To any Schur polynomial $s_{\lambda}$ one can associated its derived polynomials $s_{\lambda}{(i)}$ $i=0,\ldots,|\lambda|$ by the rule $$s_{\lambda}(x_1+t,\ldots,x_n+t) = \sum_i s_{\lambda}^{(i)}(x_1,\ldots,x_n) t^i.$$ We conjecture that…

Let $R$ be a left-symmetric conformal algebra and $Q$ be a $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-module. We introduce the notion of a unified product for left-symmetric conformal algebras and apply it to construct an object $\mathcal{H}^2_R(Q,R)$ to…

An identity is derived expressing Schur functions as sums over products of pairs of Schur $Q$-functions, generalizing previously known special cases. This is shown to follow from their representations as vacuum expectation values (VEV's) of…

Let L_1 and L_2 be complete atomistic lattices. In a previous paper, we have defined a set S=S(L_1,L_2) of complete atomistic lattices, the elements of which are called weak tensor products of L_1 and L_2. S is defined by means of three…

We study the remarkable Saxl conjecture which states that tensor squares of certain irreducible representations of the symmetric groups S_n contain all irreducibles as their constituents. Our main result is that they contain representations…

Motivated by the Saxl conjecture and the tensor square conjecture, which states that the tensor squares of certain irreducible representations of the symmetric group contain all irreducible representations, we study the tensor squares of…
