In this paper, we prove a congruence which confirms a conjecture of Adamchuk. For any prime $p\equiv1\pmod3$ and $a\in\mathbb{Z}^{+}$, we have \begin{align*} \sum_{k=1}^{\frac{2}3(p^a-1)}\binom{2k}k\equiv0\pmod{p^2}. \end{align*}

We use the famous knot-theoretic consequence of Freedman's disc theorem---knots with trivial Alexander polynomial bound a locally-flat disc in the 4-ball---to prove the following generalization. The degree of the Alexander polynomial of a…

We study the complexity of computing Kronecker coefficients $g(\lambda,\mu,\nu)$. We give explicit bounds in terms of the number of parts $\ell$ in the partitions, their largest part size $N$ and the smallest second part $M$ of the three…

We relate Nekrasov partition functions, with arbitrary values of $\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2$ parameters, to matrix models for $\beta$-ensembles. We find matrix models encoding the instanton part of Nekrasov partition functions, whose measure,…

In 1967, Atkin and O'Brien conjectured congruences for the partition function involving Hecke operators modulo powers of 13. In this paper, we provide a simple proof of this conjecture.

Recently, much attention has been given to various inequalities among partition functions. For example, Nicolas, {and later DeSavlvo--Pak,} proved that $p(n)$ is eventually log-concave, and Ji--Zang showed that the cranks are eventually…

Notions of rank abound in the literature on tensor decomposition. We prove that strength, recently introduced for homogeneous polynomials by Ananyan-Hochster in their proof of Stillman's conjecture and generalised here to other tensors, is…

We construct an algebra of non-trivial homological operations on Khovanov homology with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ generated by two Bockstein operations. We use the unified Khovanov homology theory developed by the first author to lift…

We present an elementary proof of a conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a which is an inequality involving Bernstein basis polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed in positive very recently by the use of stochastic convex orderings. Moreover,…

We identify the formulas of Buryak and Okounkov for the n-point functions of the intersection numbers of psi-classes on the moduli spaces of curves. This allows us to combine the earlier known results and this one into a principally new…

A conjecture of Sendov states that if a polynomial has all its roots in the unit disk and if $\beta$ is one of those roots, then within one unit of $\beta$ lies a root of the polynomial's derivative. If we define $r(\beta)$ to be the…

In this paper we investigate growth properties and the zero distribution of polynomials attached to arithmetic functions $g$ and $h$, where $g$ is normalized, of moderate growth, and $0<h(n) \leq h(n+1)$. We put $P_0^{g,h}(x)=1$ and…

Strongly refining results by Regev, Regev and Zeilberger, we prove surprising coincidences between characters to 2-part partitions of size n and characters to hooks of size n+2 on two related families obtained by extending 2-regular…

In this article, we give a rough, and so not complete yet, proof of Kashaev's conjecture, that is, the volume conjecture for hyperbolic knots, where the hyperbolicity equations associated to knot diagrams appear as the stationary phase…

We consider the probability of knotting in equilateral random polygons in Euclidean 3-dimensional space, which model, for instance, random polymers. Results from an extensive Monte Carlo dataset of random polygons indicate a universal…

We use an algebraic method to prove a degree version of the celebrated Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem: given $n>2k$, every intersecting $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices contains a vertex that lies on at most $\binom{n-2}{k-2}$ edges.…

In math.AG/0207233, Okounkov and Pandharipande gave an operator formalism for computing the equivariant Gromov-Witten theory of the projective line. This thesis extends their result to orbifold lines. In the effective case the theory is…

The main goal of this paper is to prove the Schmidt--Kolchin conjecture. This conjecture says the following: the vector space of degree \(d\) differentially homogeneous polynomials in \((N+1)\) variables is of dimension \((N+1)^{d}\). Next,…

We generalize multivariate hook product formulae for $P$-partitions. We use Macdonald symmetric functions to prove a $(q,t)$-deformation of Gansner's hook product formula for the generating functions of reverse (shifted) plane partitions.…

We propose a conjectural determination of the Gromov-Witten theory of a root stack along a smooth divisor. We verify our conjecture under an additional assumption.
