We introduce a collection of polynomials $F_N$, associated to each positive integer $N$, whose divisibility properties yield a reformulation of the Goldbach conjecture. While this reformulation certainly does not lead to a resolution of the…
Using a result of Robertson \textit{[Proc. Edinburgh Math. Soc. (2), 1976]}, we introduce a notion of differentiation of maps on certain classes of unital commutative C*-algebras. We then derive C*-algebraic Gauss-Lucas theorem and…
We show that the action of classical operators associated to the Macdonald polynomials on the basis of Schur functions, S_{\lambda}[X(t-1)/(q-1)], can be reduced to addition in \lambda-rings. This provides explicit formulas for the…
We prove a generalization of Fulton's conjecture which relates intersection theory on an arbitrary flag variety to invariant theory.
The generalized Lax conjecture asserts that each hyperbolicity cone is a linear slice of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. We prove the conjecture for a multivariate generalization of the matching polynomial. This is further…
Using the direct relation between the Gegenbauer polynomials and the Ferrers function of the first kind, we compute interrelations between certain Jacobi polynomials, Meixner polynomials, and the Ferrers function of the first kind. We then…
We make a new attempt at the recently suggested program to express knot polynomials through topological vertices, which can be considered as a possible approach to the tangle calculus: we discuss the Macdonald deformation of the relation…
We extend A.B. Mingarelli's method for constructing generalized factorials. Our extension uses a pair of arithmetic functions $(x, y)$, where $x$ is superadditive. When $x$ is the identity function, our generalized factorial reduces to…
We give a short proof of the log-concavity of the coefficients of the reduced characteristic polynomial of a matroid. The proof uses an extension of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials to convex cones, and reproves the Hodge-Riemann…
We introduce a new invariant of tangles along with an algebraic framework in which to understand it. We claim that the invariant contains the classical Alexander polynomial of knots and its multivariable extension to links. We argue that of…
We show that the factorial flagged Grothendieck polynomials defined by flagged set-valued tableaux of Knutson-Miller-Yong can be expressed by a Jacobi-Trudi type determinant formula, generalizing the work of Hudson-Matsumura. In particular,…
We give an explicit Pieri formula for Macdonald polynomials attached to the root system C_n (with equal multiplicities). By inversion we obtain an explicit expansion for two-row Macdonald polynomials of type C.
Elementary properties of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials are discussed. Studied are the orthogonality, the difference equations, the recurrence relations, and the orthonormalization constants for these…
As an extension of the classical irreducibility result of Dumas, a factorization result for polynomials over any valued field with a Krull valuation of arbitrary rank is proved. Further, a lower degree factor bound on factors of a given…
Fourier transform of multivariate orthogonal polynomials on the unit ball are obtained. By using Parseval's identity, a new family of multivariate orthogonal functions are introduced. The results are expressed in terms of the continuous…
We give new formulas for Grothendieck polynomials of two types. One type expresses any specialization of a Grothendieck polynomial in at least two sets of variables as a linear combination of products Grothendieck polynomials in each set of…
In a recent manuscript, D.Vogan conjectures that four canonical globalizations of Harish-Chandra modules commute with certain n-cohomology groups. In this article we prove that Vogan's conjecture holds for one of the globalizations if and…
In this note, we explore the connections between the confluent Vandermonde matrix over an arbitrary field and several mathematical topics, including interpolation polynomials, Hasse derivatives, LU factorization, companion matrices and…
Several determinants with gamma functions as elements are evaluated. This kind of determinants are encountered in the computation of the probability density of the determinant of random matrices. The s-shifted factorial is defined as a…
The theory of commutative monads on cartesian closed categories provides a framework where aspects of the theory of distributions and other extensive quantities can be formulated and some results proved. We make explicit a link between our…
