In earlier work in collaboration with Pavel Galashin and Thomas McConville we introduced a version of chip-firing for root systems. Our investigation of root system chip-firing led us to define certain polynomials analogous to Ehrhart…

We prove a Witt vector version of the usual Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem over fields of positive characteristic, solving a question raised by Blickle, Esnault, Chatzistamatiaou and R\"ulling. We then deduce some rationality…

We prove certain general forms of functional relations among Witten multiple zeta-functions in several variables (or zeta-functions of root systems). The structural background of those functional relations is given by the symmetry with…

We recall some basic computations in the Milnor-Witt K-theory of a field, following Morel. We then focus on the Witt K-theory of a field of characteristic two and give an elementary proof of the fact that it is isomorphic as a graded ring…

The classical case of Schur--Weyl duality states that the actions of the group algebras of $GL_n$ and $S_d$ on the $d^{th}$-tensor power of a free module of finite rank centralize each other. We show that Schur--Weyl duality holds for…

We prove expressions for the inequalities in Hermite's theorem which are conditions for a real polynomial to have real zeros. These expressions generalize the discriminant of a quadratic polynomial and the expression of J. Mar\'ik for a…

Let O be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic and with finite residue field k. We study a natural morphism between the Greenberg algebra of O and the special fiber of the scheme of ramified Witt vectors over O. It is a…

We show that the dual of the Witt vectors on Z_{\geq 0}^n - 0 as defined by Angeltveit, Gerhardt, Hill, and Lindenstrauss represent the functor taking a commutative formal group G to the maps of formal schemes Ahat^n -> G, and that the Witt…

For a scheme $X$ defined over the length $2$ $p$-typical Witt vectors $W_2(k)$ of a characteristic $p$ field, we introduce total $p$-differentials which interpolate between Frobenius-twisted differentials and Buium's $p$-differentials. They…

In this work, a Vietoris type theorem for the positivity of sine and cosine sum for a particular sequence of real numbers is provided. In this connection, the positivity of a particular type of sine sum involving ratio of some parameters is…

We give a probabilistic interpretation of the Dedekind zeta functions of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2})$ using zeta integrals and use this to show that the first two Li coefficients of these zeta functions are positive.…

Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, and let X \subset G^\vee be the centralizer subgroup of a principal nilpotent element. Ginzburg and Peterson independently related the ring of functions on X with the homology…

We introduce a generalization of the Stirling numbers via symmetric functions involving two weight functions. The resulting extension unifies previously known Stirling-type sequences with known symmetric function forms, as well as other…

We describe algebraic certificates of positivity for functions belonging to a finitely generated algebra of Borel measurable functions, with particular emphasis to algebras generated by semi-algebraic functions. In which case the standard…

The Witt ring of symmetric bilinear forms over a field has divided power operations. On the other hand, it follows from Garibaldi-Merkurjev-Serre's work on cohomological invariants that all operations on the Witt ring are essentially linear…

This paper studies the bidiagonal factorization of the collocation matrices of analytic bases using symmetric functions. Explicit formulas for their initial minors are derived in terms of Schur functions. The structure of these formulas…

Given a rational $a=p/q$ and $N$ nonnegative $d$-dimensional real vectors $u_1$, ..., $u_N$, we show that it is always possible to choose $(d-1)+\lceil (pN-d+1)/q\rceil$ of them such that their sum is (componentwise) at least…

Given a partition $\lambda$ of $n$, the {\it Schur functor} $\mathbb{S}_\lambda$ associates to any complex vector space $V$, a subspace $\mathbb{S}_\lambda(V)$ of $V^{\otimes n}$. Hermite's reciprocity law, in terms of the Schur functor,…

Since every even power of the Vandermonde determinant is a symmetric polynomial, we want to understand its decomposition in terms of the basis of Schur functions. We investigate several combinatorial properties of the coefficients in the…

We determine the special values at positive integers of the spectral zeta function associated with the combinatorial Laplacian on the regular tree. These values admit explicit formulas in terms of certain polynomials, which we show to be…
