We consider the homogeneous components U_r of the map on R = k[x,y,z]/(x^A, y^B, z^C) that multiplies by x + y + z. We prove a relationship between the Smith normal forms of submatrices of an arbitrary Toeplitz matrix using Schur…
We derive identities for the determinants of matrices whose entries are (rising) powers of (products of) polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation. In particular, these results cover the cases for Fibonacci polynomials, Lucas…
The original Beck conjecture, now a theorem due to Andrews, states that the difference in the number of parts in all partitions into odd parts and the number of parts in all strict partitions is equal to the number of partitions whose set…
We prove combinatorially some identities related to Euler's partition identity (the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts). They were conjectured by Beck and proved by Andrews…
We present a new partition identity and give a combinatorial proof of our result. This generalizes a result of Andrew's in which he considers the generation function for partitions with respect to size, number of odd parts, and number of…
Following the method of combinatorial telescoping for alternating sums given by Chen, Hou and Mu, we present a combinatorial telescoping approach to partition identities on sums of positive terms. By giving a classification of the…
Given an arbitrary ordered pair of coprime integers (a,b) we obtain a pair of identities of the Rogers--Ramanujan type. These identities have the same product side as the (first) Andrews--Gordon identity for modulus 2ab\pm 1, but an…
We prove the equality of doubly refined enumerations of Alternating Sign Matrices and of Totally Symmetric Self-Complementary Plane Partitions using integral formulae originating from certain solutions of the quantum Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov…
We develop the connection of Berg partitions with special substitution tilings of two tiles. We obtain a new proof that the number of Berg partitions with a fixed connectivity matrix is equal to half of the sum of its entries, \cite{S-W}.…
Let $P$ be the set of integer partitions and $D$ the subset of those with distinct parts. We extend a correspondence of Burge between partitions and binary words to give encodings of both $D$ and $D$ as words over a $k$-ary alphabet, for…
In this paper, we prove two identities on the partition of a totally positive algebraic integer over a totally real number field which are the generalization of the Sylvester Theorem and that of the Rogers-Ramanujan Identities.…
A method of Proctor [European J. Combin. 5 (1984), no. 4, 331-350] realizes the set of arbitrary plane partitions in a box and the set of symmetric plane partitions as bases of linear representations of Lie groups. We extend this method by…
We study the essentially isolated determinantal singularities (EIDS), defined by W. Ebeling and S. Gusein-Zade, as a generalization of isolated singularity. We prove in dimension $3$ a minimality theorem for the Milnor number of a generic…
Sun proposed a list of congruence and quadratic-residue conjectures for determinants and permanents over residue classes modulo a prime. This article gives a uniform treatment of Conjectures 4.6, 4.7, 4.8(ii), 4.9, 4.10(ii), 4.11 and 4.12…
Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…
We show that there is the same number of (n,l)-alternating sign trapezoids as there is of column strict shifted plane partitions of class l-1 with at most n parts in the top row, thereby proving a result that was conjectured independently…
The permanent versus determinant conjecture is a major problem in complexity theory that is equivalent to the separation of the complexity classes VP_{ws} and VNP. Mulmuley and Sohoni (SIAM J. Comput., 2001) suggested to study a…
For positive integers $k, l \geq 2$, the set of $k$-regular partitions in which parts appear at most $l$ times has attracted a lot of interest in that a composition of Glaisher's mapping can be used to prove the associated partition…
In a recent paper, Andrews and Merca investigated the number of even parts in all partitions of $n$ into distinct parts, which arise naturally from the Euler-Glaisher bijective proof. They obtained new combinatorial interpretations for this…
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
