For each uniformity $k \geq 3$, we construct $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs $G$ with arbitrarily large maximum degree $\Delta$ whose independence polynomial $Z_G$ has a root $\lambda$ with $\lvert\lambda\rvert = O\left(\frac{\log…

In this paper, we show that for each $n\geq 1$, the generalised Hermite-Laguerre Polynomials $G_{\frac{1}{4}}$ and $G_{\frac{3}{4}}$ are either irreducible or linear polynomial times an irreducible polynomial of degree $n-1$.

We present some promising ideas to treat the problem of making completely rigorous the development of our expression for $\lambda_d(p)$ of the monomer-dimer problem on a $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice \begin{equation}\label{abstract1}…

A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…

This is a sequel to our paper on nonlinear completely positive maps and dilation theory for real involutive algebras, where we have reduced all representation classification problems to the passage from a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal A}$ to its…

We study the problem of counting lattice points of a polytope that are weighted by an Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of a family of parametric polytopes. As applications one can compute integrals and maximum values of such quasi-polynomials, as…

We introduce a graph structure on Euclidean polytopes. The vertices of this graph are the $d$-dimensional polytopes contained in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and its edges connect any two polytopes that can be obtained from one another by either…

We consider two sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(Q_n)_{n\geq 0}$ such that $$ \sum_{j=1} ^{M} a_{j,n}\mathrm{S}_x\mathrm{D}_x ^k P_{k+n-j} (z)=\sum_{j=1} ^{N} b_{j,n}\mathrm{D}_x ^{m} Q_{m+n-j} (z)\;, $$ with…

We show that coefficients in unicellular LLT polynomials are evaluations of Hecke algebra traces at Kazhdan-Lusztig basis elements. We express these in terms of traditional trace bases, induction, and Kazhdan-Lusztig R-polynomials.

Two constructions of lattice packings of $ n $-dimensional cross-polytopes ($ \ell_1 $ balls) are described, the density of which exceeds that of any prior construction by a factor of at least $ 2^{\frac{n}{\ln n}(1 + o(1))} $ when $ n \to…

We consider a translation and dilation invariant system consisting of k diagonal equations of degrees 1,2,...,k with integer coefficients in s variables, where s is sufficiently large in terms of k. We show via the Hardy-Littlewood circle…

We study families of self-adjoint operators with given spectra whose sum is a scalar operator. Such families are $*$-representations of certain algebras which can be described in terms of graphs and positive functions on them. The main…

We associate to lattice points a_0,a_1,...,a_N in Z^n an A-hypergeometric series \Phi(\lambda) with integer coefficients. If a_0 is the unique interior lattice point of the convex hull of a_1,...,a_N, then for every prime p\neq 2 the ratio…

A classical result of Sherman says that if the space of self-adjoint elements in a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is a lattice with respect to its canonical order, then $\mathcal{A}$ is commutative. We give a new proof of this theorem which…

Let $P(z)=z^{n}+a_{n-2}z^{n-2}+\cdots+a_0$ be a nonconstant polynomial and $S(z)$ be a nonzero rational function and denote $h(z)=S(z)e^{P(z)}$. Let $\theta\in(0,\pi/2n)$ be a constant and $\varepsilon>0$ be a small constant. It is shown…

We study the class of polynomials whose Hessians evaluated at any point of a closed convex cone have Lorentzian signature. This class is a generalization to the remarkable class of Lorentzian polynomials. We prove that hyperbolic…

We describe a graded extension of the usual Hecke algebra: it acts in a graded fashion on the cohomology of an arithmetic group $\Gamma$. Under favorable conditions, the cohomology is freely generated in a single degree over this graded…

Let $\Gamma$ be a nonuniform lattice acting on real hyperbolic n-space. We show that in dimension greater than or equal to 4, the volume of a representation is constant on each connected component of the representation variety of $\Gamma$…

The Dowling lattice $Q_n(\mathfrak{G})$, $\mathfrak{G}$ a finite group, generalizes the geometric lattice generated by all vectors, over a field, with at most two nonzero components. Abstractly, it is a fundamental object in the…

Inhomogeneous lattice paths are introduced as ordered sequences of rectangular Young tableaux thereby generalizing recent work on the Kostka polynomials by Nakayashiki and Yamada and by Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon. Motivated by these works…
