By establishing relations between operators on compositions, we show that the posets of compositions arising from the right and left Pieri rules for noncommutative Schur functions can each be endowed with both the structure of dual graded…
We consider the value distribution of logarithms of symmetric power L-functions associated with newforms of even weight and prime power level. In the symmetric square case, under certain plausible analytical conditions, we prove that…
We give a Pieri-type formula for the sum of $K$-$k$-Schur functions $\sum_{\mu\le\lambda} g^{(k)}_{\mu}$ over a principal order ideal of the poset of $k$-bounded partitions under the strong Bruhat order, which sum we denote by…
In this work, we generalize and utilize the linear relations of LLT polynomials introduced by Lee \cite{Lee}. By using the fact that the chromatic quasisymmetric functions and the unicellular LLT polynomials are related via plethystic…
We construct a one-dimensional quasicrystal by placing scatterers at positions $\chi_n = \ln(p_n)$, the logarithms of the primes. This map compresses the primes to approximately constant density and yields a Fourier transform that is…
We introduce an enriched analogue of Lam and Pylyavskyy's theory of set-valued $P$-partitions. An an application, we construct a $K$-theoretic version of Stembridge's Hopf algebra of peak quasisymmetric functions. We show that the symmetric…
We classify and construct all multiplicity-free plethystic products of Schur functions. We also compute many new (infinite) families of plethysm coefficients, with particular emphasis on those near maximal in the dominance ordering and…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
Let $\alpha$ range over the set of compositions. Dual immaculate quasisymmetric functions $\mathfrak{S}_\alpha^*$, introduced by Berg, Bergeron, Saliola, Serrano, and Zabrocki, provide a quasisymmetric analogue of Schur functions. They also…
We introduce two families of generators (functions) $\mathcal{G}$ that consist of entire and meromorphic functions enjoying a certain periodicity property and contain the classical Gaussian and hyperbolic secant generators. Sharp results…
We construct a new operation among representations of the symmetric group that interpolates between the classical internal and external products, which are defined in terms of tensor product and induction of representations. Following…
In statistical mechanics one packages the possible energies of a system into a partition function. In number theory, and elsewhere in mathematics, one packages the spectrum of a phenomenon, say the prime numbers, into a $\zeta$-function or…
A conformal partition function ${\cal P}_n^m(s)$, which arose in the theory of Diophantine equations supplemented with additional restrictions, is concerned with {\it self-dual symmetric polynomials} -- reciprocal ${\sf R}^{\{m\}}_ {S_n}$…
This paper is devoted to the study of general (Laurent) polynomial modifications of moment functionals on the unit circle, i.e., associated with hermitian Toeplitz matrices. We present a new approach which allows us to study polynomial…
The Verschiebung operators $\varphi_t $ are a family of endomorphisms on the ring of symmetric functions, one for each integer $t\geq2$. Their action on the Schur basis has its origins in work of Littlewood and Richardson, and is intimately…
We observe that a function on a group equipped with a bi-invariant word metric is Lipschitz if and only if it is a partial quasimorphism bounded on the generating set. We also show that an undistorted element is always detected by an…
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…
Let $\nabla^\lambda$ denote the Schur functor labelled by the partition $\lambda$ and let $E$ be the natural representation of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$. We make a systematic study of when there is an isomorphism $\nabla^\lambda…
We look for algebraic certificates of positivity for functions which are not necessarily polynomial functions. Similar questions were examined earlier by Lasserre and Putinar and by Putinar. We explain how these results can be understood as…
We construct an evidently positive multiple series as a generating function for partitions satisfying the multiplicity condition in Schur's partition theorem. Refinements of the series when parts in the said partitions are classified…
