When $Sp(2n,\mathbb{C})$ acts on the flag variety of $SL(2n,\mathbb{C})$, the orbits are in bijection with fixed point free involutions in the symmetric group $S_{2n}$. In this case, the associated Kazhdan-Lusztig-Vogan polynomials…

An odd diagram class is a set of permutations with the same odd diagram. Brenti, Carnevale and Tenner showed that each odd diagram class is an interval in the Bruhat order. They conjectured that such intervals are rank-symmetric. In this…

Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group on $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. For two permutations $u, v\in S_n$ such that $u\leq v$ in the Bruhat order, let $R_{u,v}(q)$ and $\R_{u,v}(q)$ denote the Kazhdan-Lusztig $R$-polynomial and $\R$-polynomial,…

We discuss the problem posed by Bender, Coley, Robbins and Rumsey of enumerating the number of subspaces which have a given profile with respect to a linear operator over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We solve this problem in the case…

In this paper, we describe a stratification on the reduced special fiber of the basic unramified unitary Rapoport-Zink space of signature $(1,n-1)$ and at arbitrary parahoric level. We prove the smoothness, irreducibility and compute the…

K. Ding studied a class of Schubert varieties X_\lambda in type A partial flag manifolds, corresponding to integer partitions \lambda and in bijection with dominant permutations. He observed that the Schubert cell structure of X_\lambda is…

In a first part, we are concerned with the relationships between polynomials in the two generators of the algebra of Heisenberg--Weyl, its Bargmann--Fock representation with differential operators and the associated one-parameter group.Upon…

We study the lifting of the Schubert stratification of the homogeneous space of complete real flags of $R^{n+1}$ to its universal covering group $Spin_{n+1}$. We call the lifted strata the Bruhat cells of $Spin_{n+1}$, in keeping with the…

The concept of arithmetic root systems is introduced. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between arithmetic root systems and Nichols algebras of diagonal type having a finite set of (restricted) Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt…

We study the row-space partition and the pivot partition on the matrix space $\mathbb{F}_q^{n \times m}$. We show that both these partitions are reflexive and that the row-space partition is self-dual. Moreover, using various combinatorial…

The higher Bruhat orders $\mathcal{B}(n,k)$ were introduced by Manin-Schechtman to study discriminantal hyperplane arrangements and subsequently studied by Ziegler, who connected $\mathcal{B}(n,k)$ to oriented matroids. In this paper, we…

We identify the ring of odd symmetric functions introduced by Ellis and Khovanov as the space of skew polynomials fixed by a natural action of the Hecke algebra at q=-1. This allows us to define graded modules over the Hecke algebra at q=-1…

We investigate deformations of skew group algebras that arise from a finite cyclic group acting on a polynomial ring in positive characteristic, where characteristic divides the order of the group. We allow deformations which deform both…

This paper concerns the combinatorics of the orbit Hecke algebra associated with the orbit of a two sided Weyl group action on the Renner monoid of a finite monoid of Lie type, $M$. It is shown by Putcha in \cite{Putcha97} that the…

We establish necessary or sufficient conditions to guarantee that skew Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt extensions are NI or NJ rings. Our results extend those corresponding for skew polynomial rings and establish similar properties for other…

For k a field of arbitrary characteristic, and R a k-algebra, we show that the PI degree of an iterated skew polynomial ring R[x_1;\tau_1,\delta_1]...b[x_n;\tau_n,\delta_n] agrees with the PI degree of R[x_1;\tau_1]...b[x_n;\tau_n] when…

We establish a Bruhat decomposition indexed by the wreath product $\Sigma_m\wr \Sigma_d$ between two symmetric groups -- note that $\Sigma_m\wr \Sigma_d$ is not a Coxeter group in general. We show that such a decomposition affords a…

This work studies skew polycyclic codes over finite chain rings defined by central trinomials. For this class of codes, we investigate Hamming equivalence in the non-commutative (skew) setting. We introduce an equivalence relation on the…

The Cauchy identities play an important role in the theory of symmetric functions. It is known that Cauchy sums for the $q$-Whittaker and the skew Schur polynomials produce the same factorized expressions modulo a $q$-Pochhammer symbol. We…

We present here an elementary geometric approach to the construction of Weil representations of the star-analogues $SL_\ast(2,A), A$ a ring or algebra with involution $\ast$, of the group SL(2, k), k a field, reminiscent of the quantum…
