We obtain several combinatorial results about chains, cycles and orbits of the elements of the symmetric inverse semigroup $\IS_n$ and the set $T_n$ of nilpotent elements in $\IS_n$. We also get some estimates for the growth of $|\IS_n|$…
Association schemes were originally introduced by Bose and his co-workers in the design of statistical experiments. Since that point of inception, the concept has proved useful in the study of group actions, in algebraic graph theory, in…
We present an approach to sums of random Hermitian matrices via the theory of spherical functions for the Gelfand pair $(\mathrm{U}(n) \ltimes \mathrm{Herm}(n), \mathrm{U}(n))$. It is inspired by a similar approach of Kieburg and K\"osters…
In this article the zonal spherical functions of the Gelfand pair $(G(r,d,n), S_n)$ of complex reflection groups will be calculated. After this, a product formula for these spherical functions and a discrete analog of the Laplace operator…
We introduce the notion of Gelfand pairs and zonal spherical functions for Iwahori-Hecke algebras.
A kind of generalized Gelfand pair is introduced via a Banach algebra consisting of bi-invariant functions in a weighted Lebesgue space. The related spherical functions and the Fourier transformation are constructed. The multipliers of the…
Inspired by the results of [R. Adin, A. Postnikov, Y. Roichman, Combinatorial Gelfand model, preprint math.RT arXiv:0709.3962], we propose combinatorial Gelfand models for semigroup algebras of some finite semigroups, which include the…
Given a Lie group $G$, a compact subgroup $K$ and a representation $\tau\in\hat K$, we assume that the algebra of $\text{End}(V_\tau)$-valued, bi-$\tau$-equivariant, integrable functions on $G$ is commutative. We present the basic facts of…
Gelfand's trick shows that the spherical Hecke algebra of a $p$-adic split reductive group is commutative. We adapt this strategy in order to show that the spherical derived Hecke algebra is graded-commutative under mild assumptions on the…
We generalise some well known properties of irreducible characters of finite groups to zonal spherical functions of Gelfand pairs. This leads to a Frobenius formula for Gelfand pairs. For a given Gelfand pair, the structure coefficients of…
We initiate study of the Terwilliger algebra and related semidefinite programming techniques for the conjugacy scheme of the symmetric group Sym$(n)$. In particular, we compute orbits of ordered pairs on Sym$(n)$ acted upon by conjugation…
Normalized irreducible characters of the symmetric group S(n) can be understood as zonal spherical functions of the Gelfand pair $(S(n)\times S(n),\Diag S(n))$. They form an orthogonal basis in the space of the functions on the group S(n)…
This is an introduction to algebraic combinatorics, written for a quarter-long graduate course. It starts with a rigorous introduction to formal power series with some combinatorial applications, then discusses integer partitions (proving…
This chapter introduces and elaborates on the fruitful interplay of coding theory and algebraic combinatorics, with most of the focus on the interaction of codes with combinatorial designs, finite geometries, simple groups, sphere packings,…
In this work, we study multiplicity-free induced representations of finite groups. We analyze in great detail the structure of the Hecke algebra corresponding to the commutant of an induced representation and then specialize to the…
We study the compositions of an integer n whose part sizes do not exceed a fixed integer k. We use the methods of analytic combinatorics to obtain precise asymptotic formulas for the number of such compositions, the total number of parts…
This paper is a sequel to our previous study of spherical representations in the operator algebra setup. We first introduce possible analogs of dimension groups in the present context by utilizing the notion of operator systems and their…
A combinatorial construction of a Gelafand model for the symmetric group and its Iwahori-Hecke algebra is presented.
We describe an injection from border-strip decompositions of certain shapes to permutations. This allows us to provide enumeration results, as well as $q$-analogues of enumeration formulas. Finally, we use this injection to prove a…
Using the Hopf superalgebra structure of the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak g)$ of a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$, we give a purely algebraic treatment of $K$-bi-invariant functions on a Lie supergroup $G$, where $K$ is a…
