The classical Sturm-Hurwitz-Kellogg theorem asserts that a function, orthogonal to an n-dimensional Chebyshev system on a circle, has at least n+1 sign changes. We prove the converse: given an n-dimensional Chebyshev system on a circle and…

We introduce a Pfaffian formula that extends Schur's $Q$-functions $Q_\lambda$ to be indexed by compositions $\lambda$ with negative parts. This formula makes the Pfaffian construction more consistent with other constructions, such as the…

Motivated by Sato and Mori's work on the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the modified KdV equation, Mizukawa, Nakajima, and Yamada made a conjecture on 2-reduced Schur functions and Schur's Q-functions. The conjecture claims that…

Macdonald's ninth variation of Schur functions is a broad generalization of the classical Schur function and its variants, defined via the Jacobi-Trudi determinant formula. In this paper, we establish various algebraic relations for…

Let $\mu$ be a measure from Szeg\H{o} class on the unit circle $\mathbb T$ and let $\{f_n\}$ be the family of Schur functions generated by $\mu$. In this paper, we prove a version of the classical Szeg\H{o}'s formula which controls the…

In our joint paper with W. Fulton (math.AG/9804041) we prove a formula for the cohomology class of a quiver variety. This formula is general enough to give new expressions for all known types of Schubert polynomials. In the present paper we…

We prove Okounkov's conjecture, a conjecture of Fomin-Fulton-Li-Poon, and a special case of Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon's conjecture on Schur positivity and give several more general statements using a recent result of Rhoades and Skandera. An…

Iterated Geronimus transformations generate Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials from classical families. We establish a direct equivalence between a Sobolev inner product involving point evaluation and the first derivative at a point a…

Let p(t) be a trigonometric polynomial, non-negative on the unit circle. We say that a measure \sigma belongs to a polynomial Szego class, if the logarithm of its density is summable over the circle with the weight p(t). For the associated…
