We consider the symmetric group $S_n$-module of the polynomial ring with $m$ sets of $n$ commuting variables and $m'$ sets of $n$ anti-commuting variables and show that the multiplicity of an irreducible indexed by the partition $\lambda$…

We consider multilinear Littlewood polynomials, polynomials in $n$ variables in which a specified set of monomials $U$ have $\pm 1$ coefficients, and all other coefficients are $0$. We provide upper and lower bounds (which are close for $U$…

We introduce a family of univariate polynomials indexed by integer partitions. At prime powers, they count the number of subspaces in a finite vector space that transform under a regular diagonal matrix in a specified manner. This…

We study the partition function from random matrix theory using a well known connection to orthogonal polynomials, and a recently developed Riemann-Hilbert approach to the computation of detailed asymptotics for these orthogonal…

We show that a ratio of Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda}/s_{\rho}$ associated to partitions $\lambda$ and $\rho$ such that $\lambda\subsetneq\rho$ has a negative partial derivative at any point where all variables are positive. This is…

We give a simple bijective proof of associativity and commutativity of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients or the hive ring. Specifically, we establish existence a polarized polymatroidal discretely concave functions on the tetrahedron…

We generalize Regev's result on a virtual character of $S_n$. Suppose that $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are integer partitions of $n$. For the associated irreducible character $\chi^\lambda$ of $S_n$, when $\chi^\lambda(\mu)\neq0$ we find another…

We construct the polynomial induction functor, which is the right adjoint to the restriction functor from the category of polynomial representations of a general linear group to the category of representations of its Weyl group. This…

Using Jack polynomials, Goulden and Jackson have introduced a one parameter deformation $\tau_b$ of the generating series of bipartite maps, which generalizes the partition function of $\beta$-ensembles of random matrices. The Matching-Jack…

Let $\Lambda$ be the set of partitions of length $\geq 0$. We introduce an $\mathbb{N}$-graded algebra $\mathbb{A}_q^d(\Lambda)$ associated to $\Lambda$, which can be viewed as a quantization of the algebra of partitions defined by Reineke.…

For a root system R, a field K and a "choice of coefficients in K" we define a category of graded spaces with operators and study some of its properties. Then we assume that the coefficients are given by quantum binomials. We use basic…

Fully inhomogeneous spin Hall-Littlewood symmetric rational functions $F_\lambda$ are multiparameter deformations of the classical Hall-Littlewood symmetric polynomials and can be viewed as partition functions in $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ higher…

In our joint paper with W. Fulton (math.AG/9804041) we prove a formula for the cohomology class of a quiver variety. This formula involves a new class of generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, all of which surprisingly seem to be…

In the seminal work of Stanley, several conjectures were made on the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions. Motivated by recent results of Alexandersson and the present author, we…

In the framework of Clifford analysis, a chain of harmonic and monogenic potentials in the upper half of (m+1)-dimensional Euclidean space was recently constructed, including a higher dimensional analogue of the logarithmic function in the…

Let A be a subspace arrangement and let chi(A,t) be the characteristic polynomial of its intersection lattice L(A). We show that if the subspaces in A are taken from L(B_n), where B_n is the type B Weyl arrangement, then chi(A,t) counts a…

Polynomial spaces associated to a convex body $C$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$ have been the object of recent studies. In this work, we consider polynomial spaces associated to non-convex $C$. We develop some basic pluripotential theory including…

Kamiya, Takemura, and Terao initiated the theory of the characteristic quasi-polynomial of an integral arrangement, which is a function counting the elements in the complement of the arrangement modulo positive integers. They gave a period…
