The Stanley-Stembridge conjecture asserts that the chromatic symmetric function of a $(3+1)$-free graph is $e$-positive. Recently, Hikita proved this conjecture by giving an explicit $e$-expansion of the Shareshian-Wachs $q$-chromatic…

The involution Stanley symmetric functions $\hat{F}_y$ are the stable limits of the analogues of Schubert polynomials for the orbits of the orthogonal group in the flag variety. These symmetric functions are also generating functions for…

In this paper we give a convolution identity for the complete and elementary symmetric functions. This result can be used to proving and discovering some combinatorial identities involving $r$-Stirling numbers, $r$-Whitney numbers and…

We study a multi-symmetric generalization of the classical Schur functions called the multi-symmetric Schur functions. These functions form an integral basis for the ring of multi-symmetric functions indexed by tuples of partitions and are…

In this paper, we generalize a work of Rohrlich. Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $\phi$ be a Hecke character of $K$ of infinite type (1,0) whose restriction to $\mathbb{Q}$ is the quadratic character corresponding to…

This note is a follow-up to our previous work arXiv:2505.14496. For any (4n+2)-dimensional closed symplectic manifold, we find that the dimension of the even-degree part of its 1-filtered cohomology is even, similar to the vanishing…

For any $\varepsilon > 0$ we derive effective estimates for the size of a non-zero integral point $m \in \mathbb{Z}^d \setminus \{0\}$ solving the Diophantine inequality $\lvert Q[m] \rvert < \varepsilon$, where $Q[m] = q_1 m_1^2 + \ldots +…

We study the irreducibility of Wronskian Hermite polynomials labelled by partitions. It is known that these polynomials factor as a power of x times a remainder polynomial. We show that the remainder polynomial is irreducible for the…

It is an important problem in algebraic combinatorics to deduce the Schur function expansion of a symmetric function whose expansion in terms of the fundamental quasisymmetric function is known. For example, formulas are known for the…

An identity is derived expressing Schur functions as sums over products of pairs of Schur $Q$-functions, generalizing previously known special cases. This is shown to follow from their representations as vacuum expectation values (VEV's) of…

We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…

There exist a number of well known multiplicative generating functions for series of Schur functions. Amongst these are some related to the dual Cauchy identity whose expansion coefficients are rather simple, and in some cases periodic in…

A combinatorial expression for the coefficient of the Schur function $s_{\lambda}$ in the expansion of the plethysm $p_{n/d}^d \circ s_{\mu}$ is given for all $d$ dividing $n$ for the cases in which $n=2$ or $\lambda$ is rectangular. In…

In this paper, we consider the (partial) symmetric square $L$-function $L^S(s,\pi,Sym^2\otimes\chi)$ of an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation $\pi$ of $\GL_r(\A)$ twisted by a Hecke character $\chi$. In particular, we will show…

We consider the problem of embedding the semi-ring of Schur-positive symmetric polynomials into its analogue for the classical types $B/C/D$. If we preserve highest weights and add the additional Lie-theoretic parity assumption that the…

We classify all the irreducible characters of a symmetric group such that the induced immanant function $d_{\chi}$ vanishes identically on alternate matrices with the entries in the complex field.

The extended Schur functions form a basis of quasisymmetric functions that contains the Schur functions. We provide a representation-theoretic interpretation of this basis by constructing $0$-Hecke modules whose quasisymmetric…

A well-known question by Gromov asks whether the vanishing of the simplicial volume of oriented closed connected aspherical manifolds implies the vanishing of the Euler characteristic. We study various versions of Gromov's question and…

Singular nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials are constructed by use of the representation theory of the Hecke algebras of the symmetric groups. These polynomials are labeled by quasistaircase partitions and are associated to special…

In a recent joint paper with S. Sahi and V. Venkateswaran (2025), families of actions of the double affine Hecke algebra on spaces of quasi-polynomials were introduced. These so-called quasi-polynomial representations led to the…
