We describe various aspects of the Al-Salam-Carlitz $q$-Charlier polynomials. These include combinatorial descriptions of the moments, the orthogonality relation, and the linearization coefficients.

This paper proves a generalization of a conjecture of Guoniu Han, inspired originally by an identity of Nekrasov and Okounkov. The main result states that certain sums over partitions p of n, involving symmetric functions of the squares of…

In a recent work, Nadji and Ahmia introduced the $t$-Schur overpartitions as an overpartition analogue for $t$-Schur partitions, which generalizes the classical Schur's partitions into parts congruent to $1$ or $5$ modulo $6$. We continue…

We develop a polynomial reduction procedure that transforms any gauge fixed CHY amplitude integrand for $n$ scattering particles into a $\sigma$-moduli multivariate polynomial of what we call the $\textit{standard form}$. We show that a…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition function. Liu and Zhang showed that $\overline{p}(a) \overline{p}(b)>\overline{p}(a+b)$ for all integers $a,b>1$ by using an analytic result of Engle. We offer in this paper a combinatorial…

Let $n$ and $t$ be positive integers with $t\geq 2$. Let $R_t(n)$ be the number of $t$-regular partitions of $n$. A class of functions, denoted $\tau_k(n)$, is defined as follows:…

We present an example of a strictly positive polynomial with rational coefficients that can be decomposed as a sum of squares of polynomials over $\R$ but not over $\Q$. This answers an open question by C. Scheiderer posed as the second…

A sum rule due to Das et al. is reanalyzed using a euclidian space approach and a Pad\'e resummation procedure. It is shown that the result is essentially determined by the matrix elements of dimension six and dimension eight operators…

At finite N the number of restricted Schur polynomials is greater than or equal to the number of generalized restricted Schur polynomials. In this note we study this discrepancy and explain its origin. We conclude that, for quiver gauge…

We classify all $q$-ary $\Delta$-divisible linear codes which are spanned by codewords of weight $\Delta$. The basic building blocks are the simplex codes, and for $q=2$ additionally the first order Reed-Muller codes and the parity check…

We study rack polynomials and the link invariants they define. We show that constant action racks are classified by their generalized rack polynomials and show that $ns^at^a$-quandles are not classified by their generalized quandle…

Let $\mathscr{S}$ denote the set of integer partitions into parts that differ by at least $3$, with the added constraint that no two consecutive multiples of $3$ occur as parts. We derive trivariate generating functions of Andrews--Gordon…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

We develop the theory of weighted P-partitions, which generalises the theory of P-partitions from labelled posets to weighted labelled posets. We define the related generating functions in the natural way and compute their product,…

Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…

The Askey--Wilson polynomials are the most general classical orthogonal polynomials that are known and the Nassrallah--Rahman integral is a very general extension of Euler's integral representation of the classical $_2F_1$ function. Based…

Andrews and Merca [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 203 (2024), Art. 105849] recently obtained two interesting results on the sum of the parts with the same parity in the partitions of $n$ (the modulo $2$ case), the proof of which relies on…

The plethysm product of Schur functions corresponds to composing polynomial representations of infinite general linear groups. Finding the plethysm coefficients $\langle s_\nu \circ s_\mu, s_\lambda\rangle$ that express an arbitrary…

We study the Schur polynomial expansion of a family of symmetric polynomials related to the refined enumeration of alternating sign matrices with respect to their inversion number, complementary inversion number and the position of the…

In this paper, we investigate two methods to express the natural powers of $2$ as sums over integer partitions. First we consider a formula by N. J. Fine that allows us to express a binomial coefficient in terms of multinomial coefficients…
