This article is devoted to the study of Jack connection coefficients, a generalization of the connection coefficients of the classical commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group closely related to the theory of Jack…

Let K(X) be the collection of all non-zero finite dimensional subspaces of rational functions on an n-dimensional irreducible variety X. For any n-tuple L_1,..., L_n in K(X), we define an intersection index [L_1,..., L_n] as the number of…

The Hilbert function, its generating function and the Hilbert polynomial of a graded ring R have been extensively studied since the famous paper of Hilbert: Ueber die Theorie der algebraischen Formen [Hil90]. In particular, the coefficients…

Linearization of homogeneous polynomials of degree n and k variables leads to generalized Clifford algebras. Multicomplex numbers are then introduced in analogy to complex numbers with respect to usual Clifford algebra. In turn multicomplex…

We prove that, for any prime $p$ and positive integer $r$ with $p^r>2$, the number of multinomial coefficients such that $$ {k\choose k_1,k_2,\ldots,k_n}=p^r,\quad \text{and}\quad k_1+2k_2+\cdots+nk_n=n, $$ is given by $$…

The homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian Gr(k,n) has a cluster structure defined in terms of planar diagrams known as Postnikov diagrams. The cluster corresponding to such a diagram consists entirely of Pluecker coordinates. We…

We relate the counting of honeycomb dimer configurations on the cylinder to the counting of certain vertices in Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal graphs. We show that these dimer configurations yield the quantum Kostka numbers of the small…

The author advocates two specific mathematical notations from his popular course and joint textbook, "Concrete Mathematics". The first of these, extending an idea of Iverson, is the notation "[P]" for the function which is 1 when the…

The generating function that records the sizes of directed circuit partitions of a connected 2-in, 2-out digraph D can be determined from the interlacement graph of D with respect to a directed Euler circuit; the same is true of the…

In this paper, we study algebraic and analytic properties of Fourier coefficients, expressed as $q$-series, of the so-called Bloch-Okounkov $n$-point function. We prove several results about these series and explain how they relate to…

Using twisted Fock spaces, we formulate and study two twisted versions of the n-point correlation functions of Bloch-Okounkov, and then identify them with q-expectation values of certain functions on the set of (odd) strict partitions. We…

The partial Stirling numbers T_n(k) used here are defined as the sum over odd values of i of (n choose i) i^k. Their 2-exponents nu(T_n(k)) are important in algebraic topology. We provide many specific results, applying to all values of n,…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, for $p$ multilinear, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of $n$ by…

In 1971 Griffiths used a generating function to define polynomials in d variables orthogonal with respect to the multinomial distribution. The polynomials possess a duality between the discrete variables and the degree indices. In 2004…

In this note, we give a simple extension map from partitions of subsets of [n] to partitions of [n+1], which sends $\delta$-distant k-crossings to $(\delta+1)$-distant k-crossings (and similarly for nestings). This map provides a…

In this short note we have proved an enhanced version of a theorem of Lorentz [1] and its generalization to the multivariate case which gives a non- uniform estimate of degree of approximation by a polynomial with positive coefficients. The…

We use algebraic methods in statistical mechanics to represent a multi-parameter class of polynomials in several variables as partition functions of a new family of solvable lattice models. The class of polynomials, defined by A. N.…

Let p be a prime number, and let K be a number field. For p=2, assume moreover K totally imaginary. In this note we prove the existence of asymptotically good extensions L{K of cohomological dimension 2 in which infinitely many primes split…

Our main result here is that the specialization at $t=1/q$ of the $Q_{km,kn}$ operators studied in [4] may be given a very simple plethystic form. This discovery yields elementary and direct derivations of several identities relating these…

The plane partition polynomial $Q_n(x)$ is the polynomial of degree $n$ whose coefficients count the number of plane partitions of $n$ indexed by their trace. Extending classical work of E.M. Wright, we develop the asymptotics of these…
