In this paper, we study shifted Schur functions $S_\mu^\star$, as well as a new family of shifted symmetric functions $\mathfrak{K}_\mu$ linked to Kostka numbers. We prove that both are polynomials in multi-rectangular coordinates, with…

We settle in the affirmative the Graham-Sloane conjecture.

We obtain general identities for the product of two Schur functions in the case where one of the functions is indexed by a rectangular partition, and give their t-analogs using vertex operators. We study subspaces forming a filtration for…

We use spectral flow to present a new proof of Levinson's theorem for Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth compactly supported potential. Our proof is valid in all dimensions and in the presence of resonances. The…

In this paper, we investigate the signs changes of Fourier coefficients of infinite products of $q$-series of Rogers--Ramanujan type. In particular, we prove a conjecture made by Schlosser--Zhou pertaining to such sign changes for products…

We formulate several analogues of the Chowla and Sarnak conjectures, which are widely known in the setting of the M\"obius function, in the setting of Kloosterman sums. We then show that for Kloosterman sums, in some cases, these…

We study the Kronecker product of two Schur functions $s_\lambda\ast s_\mu$, defined as the image of the characteristic map of the product of two $S_n$ irreducible characters. We prove special cases of a conjecture of Monical--Tokcan--Yong…

Classical Schur analysis is intimately connected to the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the circle [Simon, 2005]. We investigate here the connection between multipoint Schur analysis and orthogonal rational functions. Specifically, we…

We prove the decomposition conjecture of Leclerc and Thibon for the Schur algebra. We also give a new approach to the Lusztig conjecture for the dimension of the simple U(sl_k)-modules at roots of unity via canonical bases of the Hall…

We show that the sign constancy for the values of certain weighted summatory functions of the von Mangoldt function implies the Riemann hypothesis or the generalized Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions. While such sign constancy…

We prove the positivity conjecture for all skew-symmetric cluster algebras.

The problem of finding Schur-positive sets of permutations, originally posed by Gessel and Reutenauer, has seen some recent developments. Schur-positive sets of pattern-avoiding permutations have been found by Sagan et al and a general…

We show that the left and right adjoint of the Schur functor can be expressed in terms of the monoidal structure of strict polynomial functors. Using this result we give a necessary and sufficient condition for when the tensor product of…

We prove the logarithmic Sarnak conjecture for sequences of subquadratic word growth. In particular, we show that the Liouville function has at least quadratically many sign patterns. We deduce the main theorem from a variant which bounds…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. The Chowla conjecture asserts that $$ \sum_{n \leq X} \lambda(a_1 n + b_1) \lambda(a_2 n+b_2) \dots \lambda(a_k n + b_k) = o_{X \to \infty}(X) $$ for any fixed natural numbers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$…

We prove Fujita's log spectrum conjecture. It follows from the ACC of a suitable set of pseudo-effective thresholds.

We extend the Lee-Schiffler Dyck path model to give a proof of the Kontsevich non-commutative cluster positivity conjecture with unequal parameters.

Subsequently to the author's preceding paper, we give full proofs of some explicit formulas about factorizations of $K$-$k$-Schur functions associated with any multiple $k$-rectangles.

In this paper, we provide criteria for the log-concavity of rows and the strong $q$-log-convexity of the generating functions of rows in more generalized triangles. Additionally, we prove that the bi$^s$nomial transformation not only…

We give an alternative look at the log-Sobolev inequality (LSI in short) for log-concave measures by semigroup tools. The similar idea yields a heat flow proof of LSI under some quadratic Lyapunov condition for symmetric diffusions on…
