Consider a semi-infinite skew-symmetric moment matrix, $m_{\iy}$ evolving according to the vector fields $\pl m / \pl t_k=\Lb^k m+m \Lb^{\top k} ,$ where $\Lb$ is the shift matrix. Then the skew-Borel decomposition $ m_{\iy}:= Q^{-1} J…

Let Alt_n be the vector space of all alternating n-by-n complex matrices, on which the complex general linear group GL_n acts by $x \mapsto g x g^t$. The aim of this paper is to show that Pfaffian of a certain matrix whose entries are…
We study two generalizations of the Pfaffian to non-antisymmetric matrices and derive their properties and relation to each other. The first approach is based on the Wigner normal-form, applicable to conjugate-normal matrices, and retains…
Given two combinatorial identities proved earlier, a new set of variations of these combinatorial identities is listed and proved with the integral representation method. Some identities from literature are shown to be special cases of…

Motivated by the Hankel determinant evaluation of moment sequences, we study a kind of Pfaffian analogue evaluation. We prove an LU-decomposition analogue for skew-symmetric matrices, called Pfaffian decomposition. We then apply this…

The totally non-negative pfaffian (TNNP) is define for a skew-symmetric matrix such that all the sub-pfaffians are non-negative. It appears in the pfaffian structure of $\tau$-function for the non-singular web solitons of the BKP equation .…
Integrals of the Pfaffian form over the nonsingular part of a projective variety compute information closely related to the Mather-Chern class of the variety and to other invariants such as the local Euler obstruction along strata of its…
Relative algebroids and Pfaffian fibrations are two frameworks recently developed to study geometric structures and PDEs with symmetries, but have structurally different foundations. In this article, we clarify the relation between the two.…
