The partition function of composite bosons ("cobosons" for short) is calculated in the canonical ensemble, with the Pauli exclusion principle between their fermionic components included in an exact way through the finite temperature…
With the aim of derive a quasi-monomiality formulation in the context of discrete hypercomplex variables, one will amalgamate through a Clifford-algebraic structure of signature $(0,n)$ the umbral calculus framework with Lie-algebraic…
The Kronecker coefficients are the structure constants for the restriction of irreducible representations of the general linear group $GL(n m)$ into irreducibles for the subgroup $GL(n)\times GL(m)$. In this work we study the…
We give a new Littlewood-Richardson rule for the Schubert structure coefficients of isotropic Grassmannians, equivalently for the multiplication of $P$-Schur functions. Serrano (2010) previously gave a formula in terms of classes in his…
Starting from an integrable rank-$n$ vertex model, we construct an explicit family of partition functions indexed by compositions $\mu = (\mu_1,\dots,\mu_n)$. Using the Yang-Baxter algebra of the model and a certain rotation operation that…
Hall-Littlewood functions indexed by rectangular partitions, specialized at primitive roots of unity, can be expressed as plethysms. We propose a combinatorial proof of this formula using A. Schilling's bijection between ribbon tableaux and…
Koornwinder polynomials are $q$-orthogonal polynomials equipped with extra five parameters and the $B C_n$-type Weyl group symmetry, which were introduced by Koornwinder (1992) as multivariate analogue of Askey-Wilson polynomials. They are…
We introduce a super version of the Littlewood--Richardson rule for super Schur functions over signed alphabets. We give in particular combinatorial interpretations of the super Littlewood--Richardson coefficients using the properties of…
In a previous paper, the second author defined integer-valued functions delta_n on the first cohomology of a 3-manifold, generalizing McMullen's Alexander norm. It was shown that these functions give lower bounds on the Thurston norm. In…
Let $q$ be a prime power, $G=GL_n(q)$ and let $U\leqslant G$ be the subgroup of (lower) unitriangular matrices in $G$. For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ denote the corresponding unipotent Specht module over the complex field $\C$ for $G$ by…
MacMahon's classic generating function of random plane partitions, which is related to Schur polynomials, was recently extended by Vuletic to a generating function of weighted plane partitions that is related to Hall-Littlewood polynomials,…
The restricted partition function $p_{N}(n)$ counts the partitions of $n$ into at most $N$ parts. In the nineteenth century Sylvester showed that these partitions can be expressed as a sum of $k$-periodic quasi-polynomials ($1\leq k\leq N$)…
Using the combinatorial formula for the transformed Macdonald polynomials of Haglund, Haiman, and Loehr, we investigate the combinatorics of the symmetry relation $\widetilde{H}_\mu(\mathbf{x};q,t) =…
This paper gives an exposition of well known results on vector partition functions. The exposition is based on works of M. Brion, A. Szenes and M. Vergne and is geared toward explicit computer realizations. In particular, the paper presents…
We characterize the entire functions $P$ of $d$ variables, $d\ge 2,$ for which the $\mzd$-translates of $P\chi_{[0,N]^d}$ satisfy the partition of unity for some $N\in \mn.$ In contrast to the one-dimensional case, these entire functions…
The large $N$ asymptotic expansion of the partition function for the normal matrix model is predicted to have special features inherited from its interpretation as a two-dimensional Coulomb gas. However for the latter, it is most natural to…
We give formulae for computing Kronecker coefficients occurring in the expansion of $s_{\mu}*s_{\nu}$, where both $\mu$ and $\nu$ are nearly rectangular, and have smallest parts equal to either 1 or 2. In particular, we study…
In this paper, we derive some formulae involving coefficients of polynomials which occur quite naturally in the study of restricted partitions. Our method involves a recently discovered sieve technique by Li and Wan (Sci. China. Math.…
Say that mu is a ``subpartition'' of an integer partition lambda if the multiset of parts of mu is a submultiset of the parts of lambda, and define an integer partition lambda to be ``wide'' if for every subpartition mu of lambda, mu >= mu'…
We prove a general combinatorial formula yielding the intersection number $c_{u,v}^w$ of three particular $\Lambda$-minuscule Schubert classes in any Kac-Moody homogeneous space, generalising the Littlewood-Richardson rule. The…
