We obtain closed form expressions for convolutions of scale transformations within a certain subset of Appell polynomials. This subset contains the Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler, and Cauchy polynomials, as well as various kinds of their…
Matroids are ubiquitous in modern combinatorics. As discovered by Gelfand, Goresky, MacPherson and Serganova there is a beautiful connection between matroid theory and the geometry of Grassmannians: realizable matroids correspond to torus…
We prove some variants of the exponential formula and apply them to the multivariate Tutte polynomials (also known as Potts-model partition functions) of graphs. We also prove some further identities for the multivariate Tutte polynomial,…
We develop the necessary machinery in order to prove that hexagonal tilings are uniquely determined by their Tutte polynomial, showing as an example how to apply this technique to the toroidal hexagonal tiling.
Jacobi-Trudy formula for a generalisation of Schur polynomials related to any sequence of orthogonal polynomials in one variable is given. As a corollary we have Giambelli formula for generalised Schur polynomials.
Many important invariants for matroids and polymatroids, such as the Tutte polynomial, the Billera-Jia-Reiner quasi-symmetric function, and the invariant $\mathcal G$ introduced by the first author, are valuative. In this paper we construct…
We give an explicit formula for the Hankel transform of a regular sequence in terms of the coefficients of the associated orthogonal polynomials and the sequence itself. We apply this formula to some sequences of combinatorial interest,…
We discuss some variants of cone theorem for movable curves in any codimensions.
We prove a formula for Thom polynomials of Morin (or A_d) singularities in any codimension. We use a combination of the test-curve method of Porteous, and the localization methods in equivariant cohomology. Our formulas are independent of…
We discuss an elementary method for the evaluation of the convolution sums $\underset{\substack{ {(l,m)\in\mathbb{N}_{0}^{2}} \\ {\alpha\,l+\beta\,m=n} } }{\sum}\sigma(l)\sigma(m)$ for those $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{N}$ for which…
For a matroid $M$, its configuration determines its $\mathcal{G}$-invariant. Few examples are known of pairs of matroids with the same $\mathcal{G}$-invariant but different configurations. In order to produce new examples, we introduce the…
We develop a unified framework for constructing matrix approximations to the convolution operator of Volterra type defined by functions that are approximated using classical orthogonal polynomials on $[-1, 1]$. The numerically stable…
We extend some results about shifted Schur functions to the general context of shifted Macdonald polynomials. We obtain two explicit formulas for these polynomials: a $q$-integral representation and a combinatorial formula. Our main tool is…
We present a formula which relates the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid $M$, as defined by Elias, Proudfoot and Wakefield, to the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of the matroid obtained by deleting an element, and various contractions…
The classical volume polynomial in algebraic geometry measures the degrees of ample (and nef) divisors on a smooth projective variety. We introduce an analogous volume polynomial for matroids, and give a complete combinatorial formula. For…
We study an operation in matroid theory that allows one to transition a given matroid into another with more bases via relaxing a \emph{stressed subset}. This framework provides a new combinatorial characterization of the class of split…
We introduce a certain class of link diagrams, which includes all closed braid diagrams. We show a generalized version of K\'alm\'an's full-twist formula for the HOMFLY polynomial in the class.
We introduce an algebraic Fourier transform for the quantum Toda lattice.
In this paper, we established some integral formulas for and involving the noncentral Tanny-Dowling polynomials. These formulas are shown to be generalizations of some known results on the classical geometric polynomials.
We show that the linear coefficient of the Ehrhart polynomial of a matroid base polytope evaluated at $t-1$ is equal to, up to normalization, the $\beta$-invariant of the matroid. This yields a lattice-point counting formula for the…
