Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. In an earlier paper we defined a surjective map \Phi_p from the set \underline{W} of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group W to the set of unipotent…

We study in detail the work of Jeffrey and Weitsman, especially \cite{Jeffrey:Weitsman:1992} and \cite{Jeffrey:Weitsman:1994}. In particular, we describe the manner in which the inequalities that cut out the Bohr-Sommerfeld moment polytope…

Recursive matrices are ubiquitous in combinatorics, which have been extensively studied. We focus on the study of the sums of $2\times 2$ minors of certain recursive matrices, the alternating sums of their $2\times 2$ minors, and the sums…

We give a complete description of conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the mapping class group of the sphere with r marked points. As a corollary we obtain a description of conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of the…

We establish, for the character table of the symmetric group, the positivity of the row sums indexed by irreducible characters, when restricted to various subsets of the conjugacy classes. A notable example is that of partitions with all…

Generalised matrix elements of the irreducible representations of the quantum $SU(2)$ group are defined using certain orthonormal bases of the representation space. The generalised matrix elements are relatively infinitesimal invariant with…

We prove a convolution formula for the conjugacy classes in symmetric groups conjectured by the second author. A combinatorial interpretation of coefficients is provided. As a main tool we introduce new semigroup of partial permutations. We…

This paper is devoted to the theory of $GL_n({\mathbb Z})$-conjugacy classes of regular integer $n\times n$ matrices. Such a matrix is $GL_n({\mathbb Q})$-conjugate to the companion matrix of its characteristic polynomial. But the set of…

There are two families of Donaldson invariants for the complex projective plane, corresponding to the SU(2)-gauge theory and the SO(3)-gauge theory with non-trivial Stiefel-Whitney class. In 1997 Moore and Witten conjectured that the…

We develop a flow-based sampling algorithm for $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theories that is gauge-invariant by construction. Our key contribution is constructing a class of flows on an $SU(N)$ variable (or on a $U(N)$ variable by a simple…

We show that general $3n-j (n>2)$ symbols of the first kind and the second kind for the group SU(2) can be reformulated in terms of binomial coefficients. The proof is based on the graphical technique established by Yutsis, et al. and…

We give a direct combinatorial proof that the product of two descent classes in a symmetric group is a sum of descent classes. The proof is based on the fact that the group product gives a covering map when descent classes are endowed with…

Unitary 1-matrix models are shown to be exactly equivalent to hermitian 1-matrix models coupled to 2N vectors with appropriate potentials, to all orders in the 1/N expansion. This fact allows us to use all the techniques developed and…
