We study a $q$-version of the chromatic polynomial of a given graph $G=(V,E)$, namely, \[ \chi_G^\lambda(q,n) \ := \sum_{\substack{\text{proper colorings}\\ c\,:\,V\to[n]}} q^{ \sum_{ v \in V } \lambda_v c(v) }, \] where $\lambda \in…

This paper is an exploration of relationships between the Jones polynomial and quantum computing. We discuss the structure of the Jones polynomial in relation to representations of the Temperley Lieb algebra, and give an example of a…

A function in a class $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is said to be subdifferentially determined in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ if it is equal up to an additive constant to any function in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ with the same subdifferential. A function is said to be…

Let X be an analytic set defined by polynomials whose coefficients a_1,...,a_s are holomorphic functions. We formulate conditions such that for all sequences {a_(1,n)},...,{a_(s,n)} of holomorphic functions converging locally uniformly to…

We utilize the trip matrix method of calculating the Jones Polynomial to give an alternative proof that the Jones Polynomial is multiplicative under connect sums.

The chromatic polynomial and its generalization, the chromatic symmetric function, are two important graph invariants. Celebrated theorems of Birkhoff, Whitney, and Stanley show how both objects can be expressed in three different ways: as…

Motivated by the observation that the counting function of a certain base-3 colored partition contains the even perfect numbers as a subsequence, we begin by defining a sequence of polynomials in four variables and discuss their properties…

We address the enumeration of q-coloured planar maps counted bythe number of edges and the number of monochromatic edges. We prove that the associated generating function is differentially algebraic,that is, satisfies a non-trivial…

Given a function from $\mathbb{Z}_n$ to itself one can determine its polynomial representability by using Kempner function. In this paper we present an alternative characterization of polynomial functions over $\mathbb{Z}_n$ by constructing…

We define and study the interpolated finite multiple harmonic $q$-series. A generating function of the sums of the interpolated finite multiple harmonic $q$-series with fixed weight, depth and $i$-height is computed. Some Ohno-Zagier type…

The chromatic symmetric function of a graph is a generalization of the chromatic polynomial. The key motivation for studying the structure of a chromatic symmetric function is to answer positivity conjectures by Stanley in 1995 and Gasharov…

We prove that every bounded finely plurisubharmonic function can be locally (in the pluri-fine topology) written as the difference of two usual plurisubharmonic functions. As a consequence finely plurisubharmonic functions are continuous…

We show that the quantum invariants arising from typical representations of the quantum group $U_h\mathfrak{sl}(2|1)$ are q-holonomic. In particular, this implies the existence of an underlying field theory for which this family of…

We establish a general result on the existence of partially defined semiconjugacies between rational functions acting on the Riemann sphere. The semiconjugacies are defined on the complements to at most one-dimensional sets. They are…

We prove that there are only finitely many values of the Jones polynomial of quasi-alternating links of a given determinant. Consequently, we prove that there are only finitely many quasi-alternating links of a given Jones polynomial iff…

Let L be a bounded distributive lattice. We give several characterizations of those L^n --> L mappings that are polynomial functions, i.e., functions which can be obtained from projections and constant functions using binary joins and…

Motivated by Stanley's conjecture on the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions, we prove a couple of identities showing that skew Jack symmetric functions are semi-invariant up to translation and rotation of a $\pi$ angle of the skew…

This article is built upon three main ideas. First, for a class of monomial ideals, it is proven that the multiplicity of an ideal equals the number of realizations of its codimension (an intuitive concept that we define later). Next, for…

The potential function of the optimistic limit of the colored Jones polynomial and the construction of the solution of the hyperbolicity equations were defined in the authors' previous articles. In this article, we define the Reidemeister…

In [arXiv 0811.3913] the authors introduced the notion of quasi-polynomial function as being a mapping f: X^n -> X defined and valued on a bounded chain X and which can be factorized as f(x_1,...,x_n)=p(phi(x_1),...,phi(x_n)), where p is a…
