Let $\Lambda$ be the space of symmetric functions and $V_k$ be the subspace spanned by the modified Schur functions $\{S_\lambda[X/(1-t)]\}_{\lambda_1\leq k}$. We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials,…
The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].
Using the description of hypermaps with matchings, Goulden and Jackson have given an expression of the generating series of rooted bipartite maps in terms of the zonal polynomials. We generalize this approach to the case of constellations…
Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series $\psi(x, y, z; t, 1+\beta)$ that might be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the generating series of rooted hypermaps. They…
A formula of Rodrigues-type for the Jack polynomials is presented. It is seen to imply a weak form of a conjecture of Macdonald and Stanley.
Two evaluation formulas are derived for the Jack superpolynomials. The evaluation formulas are expressed in terms of products of fillings of skew diagrams. One of these formulas is nothing but the evaluation formula of the Jack polynomials…
The clustering properties of Jack polynomials are relevant in the theoretical study of the fractional Hall states. In this context, some factorization properties have been conjectured for the $(q,t)$-deformed problem involving Macdonald…
In previous work of this author it was conjectured that the sum of power sums $p_\lambda,$ for partitions $\lambda$ ranging over an interval $[(1^n), \mu]$ in reverse lexicographic order, is Schur-positive. Here we investigate this…
In a recent work, Maciej Do\l{}e\k{}ga and the author have given a formula of the expansion of the Jack polynomial $J^{(\alpha)}_\lambda$ in the power-sum basis as a non-orientability generating series of bipartite maps whose edges are…
Jack superpolynomials are eigenfunctions of the supersymmetric extension of the quantum trigonometric Calogero-Moser-Sutherland. They are orthogonal with respect to the scalar product, dubbed physical, that is naturally induced by this…
We prove that the enumerative polynomials of generalized Stirling permutations by the statistics of plateaux, descents and ascents are partial $\gamma$-positive. Specialization of our result to the Jacobi-Stirling permutations confirms a…
We make progress towards understanding the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $g_{\lambda,\mu}^{\nu}$ for products of Jack symmetric functions. Building on recent results of the second author, we are able to prove new cases of…
We prove Samuel's conjecture on certain Graham positivity of the expansion coefficient of two double Schubert polynomials in three sets of variables by establishing a refined version of Graham's positivity theorem. As a corollary, we prove…
We investigate the existence and the orthogonality of the generalized Jack symmetric functions which play an important role in the AGT relations. We show their orthogonality by deforming them to the generalized Macdonald symmetric…
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…
In math.CO/0109093 the author obtained a formula for the value of an irreducible symmetric group character indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. In the present paper this formula is (conjecturally) generalized to arbitrary shapes.
In the seminal work of Stanley, several conjectures were made on the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions. Motivated by recent results of Alexandersson and the present author, we…
Kerov polynomials express the normalized characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group, evaluated on a cycle, as polynomials in the free cumulants of the associated Young diagram. We present two positivity conjectures for…
We prove a recent conjecture of Lassalle about positivity and integrality of coefficients in some polynomial expansions. We also give a combinatorial interpretation of those numbers. Finally, we show that this question is closely related to…
We introduce a conjectural construction for an extension to superspace of the Macdonald polynomials. The construction, which depends on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations, is tested for high degrees. We conjecture a simple…
