Given an $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory, we reconsider the Schur index $\mathcal{I}_L(q)$ in the presence of a half line defect $L$. Recently Cordova-Gaiotto-Shao found that $\mathcal{I}_L(q)$ admits an expansion in terms of…
We suggest to associate with each knot the set of coefficients of its HOMFLY polynomial expansion into the Schur functions. For each braid representation of the knot these coefficients are defined unambiguously as certain combinations of…
We prove a genuine analogue of Wiener Tauberian theorem for integrable functions on $\mathrm {SL}(2, \R).$
In this paper we first present the construction of the new 2-variable classical link invariants arising from the Yokonuma-Hecke algebras ${\rm Y}_{d,n}(q)$, which are not topologically equivalent to the Homflypt polynomial. We then present…
A. Albouy and R. Moeckel in 2000 found some interesting inequalities related to the inverse problem for collinear (Moulton) central configurations: the Pfaffian of a certain matrix is positive since all coefficients of some polynomials are…
We present some corollaries to a symplectic primed shifted tableaux version of Tokuyama's identity expressed in terms of other combinatorial constructs, namely generalised $U$-turn alternating sign matrices and strict symplectic…
This is a short note about Schur positivity. We introduce Schur polynomials and explain how they appear in the representation theory of the general linear group. We end with a new result of the author with F. Bergeron and V. Reiner that…
We generalize the Pfaffian formalism, which has been playing an important role in the study of time-reversal invariant topological insulators (TIs), to 3D chiral higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) protected by the product of…
A class of overlooked trigonometric-like functions is explored in this article, along with the relevant applications in applications. We show indeed that Taylor series, resembling that of an ordinary cosine, are representative of wider…
Ideals generated by pfaffians are of interest in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, as well as in combinatorics. In this article we compute multiplicity and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of pfaffian ideals of ladders. We give…
Revisiting Kra\'skiewicz and Pragacz's construction of Schubert modules, we provide a new proof that their characters are equal to Schubert polynomials. The main innovation is a representation-theoretic interpretation of a recurrence…
We use Picard-Lefschetz theory to introduce a new local model for the planar projective twists $\tau_{\mathbb{A}\mathbb{P}^2} \in \mathrm{Symp}_{ct}(T^*\mathbb{A}\mathbb{P}^2), \ \mathbb{A} \in \{ \mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C} \}$. In each case,…
For any truncated path algebra $\Lambda$, we give a structural description of the modules in the categories ${\cal P}^{<\infty}(\Lambda\text{-mod})$ and ${\cal P}^{<\infty}(\Lambda\text{-Mod})$, consisting of the finitely generated (resp.…
We give new characterizations of plurisubharmonic functions and Griffiths positivity of holomorphic vector bundles with singular Finsler metrics. As applications, we present a different method to prove plurisubharmonic variation of…
We give a proof of the results of Chapuy and Douvropoulos [3] for irreducible spetsial reflection groups based on Deligne-Lusztig combinatorics. In particular, if f denotes the truncated Lusztig Fourier transform, we show that the image by…
Recently Okada defined algebraically ninth variation skew Q-functions, in parallel to Macdonald's ninth variation skew Schur functions. Here we introduce a skew shifted tableaux definition of these ninth variation skew Q-functions, and…
The Hamiltonian of the $N$-state clock model is written in terms of a coupled Temperley-Lieb (TL) algebra defined by $N-1$ types of TL generators. This generalizes a previous result for $N=3$ obtained by J. F. Fjelstad and T. M\r{a}nsson…
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…
We propose a new notion of positivity for topological field theories (TFTs), based on S. Eilenberg's concept of completeness for semirings. We show that a complete ground semiring, a system of fields on manifolds and a system of action…
In this paper, we introduce Schubert decompositions for quiver Grassmannians and investigate example classes of quiver Grassmannians with a Schubert decomposition into affine spaces. The main theorem puts the cells of a Schubert…
