In this note we revisit a less known symmetrization method for functions with respect to a topological group $G$, which we call $G$-averaging. We note that, although quite non-technical in nature, this method yields $G$-invariant minimizers…

The space $\mathcal{G}_n$ of $n$-marked groups provides a natural framework for studying algebraic and geometric invariants under deformation. In general, the growth rate is not continuous on $\mathcal{G}_n$. In this paper, we investigate…

In this paper we are concerned with the conjecture that, for any set of generators S of the symmetric group of degree n, the word length in terms of S of every permutation is bounded above by a polynomial of n. We prove this conjecture for…

Given a purely atomic probability measure with support on n points, P, any mean-preserving contraction (mpc) of P, Q, with support on m > n points is a mixture of mpcs of P, each with support on most n points. We illustrate an application…

Two of the pillars of combinatorics are the notion of choosing an arbitrary subset of a set with $n$ elements (which can be done in $2^n$ ways), and the notion of choosing a $k$-element subset of a set with $n$ elements (which can be done…

In this paper, we study the Plancherel measure of a class of non-connected nilpotent groups which is of special interest in Gabor theory. Let $G$ be a time-frequency group. More precisely, that is $G=\left\langle…

Motivated by Stanley's conjecture on the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions, we prove a couple of identities showing that skew Jack symmetric functions are semi-invariant up to translation and rotation of a $\pi$ angle of the skew…

For any positive integers m and n, the word map (x,y) -> x^m y^n is almost measure preserving on large finite simple groups G.

Twisted Alexander invariants have been defined for any knot and linear representation of its group. The invariants are generalized for any periodic representation of the commutator subgroup of the knot group. Properties of the new twisted…

We generalize both the notion of polynomial functions on Lie groups and the notion of horizontally affine maps on Carnot groups. We fix a subset $S$ of the algebra $\mathfrak g$ of left-invariant vector fields on a Lie group $\mathbb G$ and…

Let $f_n$ be a function assigning weight to each possible triangle whose vertices are chosen from vertices of a convex polygon $P_n$ of $n$ sides. Suppose ${\mathcal T}_n$ is a random triangulation, sampled uniformly out of all possible…

We provide fundamental results on positive solutions to parametrized systems of generalized polynomial $\textit{inequalities}$ (with real exponents and positive parameters), including generalized polynomial $\textit{equations}$. In doing…

The h-vector of a matroid M is an important invariant related to the independence complex of M and can also be recovered from an evaluation of its Tutte polynomial. A well-known conjecture of Stanley posits that the h-vector of a matroid is…

We answer a question posed by Vitaly Bergelson, showing that in a totally ergodic system, the average of a product of functions evaluated along polynomial times, with polynomials of pairwise differing degrees, converges in $L^{2}$ to the…

Matrix polynomials given in an orthogonal basis are considered. Following the ideas of Mackey et al. "Vector spaces of Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials" (2006), the vec- tor spaces, called M1(P), M2(P) and DM(P), of potential…

The aim of this paper is to start the study of images of graded polynomials on full matrix algebras. We work with the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ over a field $K$ endowed with its canonical $\mathbb{Z}_n$-grading (Vasilovsky's grading). We…

We give a simple derivation of the Plancherel measure for Lebedev-Whittaker transforms on GL(n).

For a graph G, we construct two algebras, whose dimensions are both equal to the number of spanning trees of G. One of these algebras is the quotient of the polynomial ring modulo certain monomial ideal, while the other is the quotient of…

The number of homomorphisms from a finite graph $F$ to the complete graph $K_n$ is the evaluation of the chromatic polynomial of $F$ at $n$. Suitably scaled, this is the Tutte polynomial evaluation $T(F;1-n,0)$ and an invariant of the cycle…

The functions satisfying the mean value property for an n-dimensional cube are determined explicitly. This problem is related to invariant theory for a finite reflection group, especially to a system of invariant differential equations.…
