We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…
A new family of polynomials, called cumulant polynomial sequence, and its extensions to the multivariate case is introduced relied on a purely symbolic combinatorial method. The coefficients of these polynomials are cumulants, but depending…
We weave together a tale of two rings, SYM and QSYM, following one gold thread spun by Richard Stanley. The lesson we learn from this tale is that "Combinatorial objects like to be counted by quasisymmetric functions."
Richard Stanley played a crucial role, through his work and his students, in the development of the relatively new area known as combinatorial representation theory. In the early stages, he has the merit to have pointed out to…
For any set representation (permutation representation) of the symmetric group $S_n$, we give combinatorial interpretation for coefficients of its Frobenius character expanded in the basis of monomial symmetric functions.
In this note we augment the poly-Bernoulli family with two new combinatorial objects. We derive formulas for the relatives of the poly-Bernoulli numbers using the appropriate variations of combinatorial interpretations. Our goal is to show…
We give a new demonstration of Loewner's characterization of polynomials, solving in the positive a conjecture proposed by Laird and McCann in 1984.
We show that the Stanley's Conjecture holds for an intersection of three monomial primary ideals of a polynomial algebra S over a field.
A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…
In this work we provide a novel approach for computing the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a square matrix. We demonstrate that each coefficient can be efficiently represented by a set of circle graphs. Thus, one can employ…
We introduce a generalization of the Stirling numbers via symmetric functions involving two weight functions. The resulting extension unifies previously known Stirling-type sequences with known symmetric function forms, as well as other…
A definition is offered of the factorial characters of the general linear group, the symplectic group and the orthogonal group in an odd dimensional space. It is shown that these characters satisfy certain flagged Jacobi-Trudi identities.…
We show that the Stanley's Conjecture holds for an intersection of four monomial prime ideals of a polynomial algebra $S$ over a field and for an arbitrary intersection of monomial prime ideals $(P_i)_{i\in [s]}$ of $S$ such that…
Even with the introduction of supercharacter theories, the representation theory of many unipotent groups remains mysterious. This paper constructs a family of supercharacter theories for normal pattern groups in a way that exhibit many of…
We count points on character varieties associated with punctured surfaces and regular semisimple generic conjugacy classes in reductive groups. We find that the number of points are palindromic polynomials. This suggests a $P=W$ conjecture…
Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein and Snaith have given a recipe that conjecturally produces, among others, the full moment polynomial for the Riemann zeta function. The leading term of this polynomial is given as a product of a factor…
An involution in a Coxeter group has an associated set of involution words, a variation on reduced words. These words are saturated chains in a partial order first considered by Richardson and Springer in their study of symmetric varieties.…
Stanley asked whether a tree is determined up to isomorphism by its chromatic symmetric function. We approach Stanley's problem by studying the relationship between the chromatic symmetric function and other invariants. First, we prove…
By generalizing Frobenius' polynomial method to good partition algebra, we will develop new character theories for a finite group $G$. A uniform defining equations are derived for these kinds of character theories. The new character…
We apply Miller's theory on multigraded modules over a polynomial ring to the study of the Stanley depth of these modules. Several tools for Stanley's conjecture are developed, and a few partial answers are given. For example, we show that…
