A generating function of the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact oriented or non-orientable surface without boundary into a finite group is obtained in terms of an integral over a real group algebra. We calculate…

Feit and Fine derived a generating function for the number of ordered pairs of commuting n by n matrices over the finite field F_q. This has been reproved and studied by Bryan and Morrison from the viewpoint of motivic Donaldson-Thomas…

We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…

A classical result of MacMahon gives a simple product formula for the generating function of major index over the symmetric group. A similar factorial-type product formula for the generating function of major index together with sign was…

Matrix generators for the general and special linear groups, the symplectic groups and the general and special unitary groups over finite fields. For the most part the generators have been obtained by translating Steinberg's generators for…

Let G be a connected, semisimple Lie group with finite center and let K be a maximal compact subgroup. We investigate a method to compute multiplicities of K-types in the discrete series using a rational expression for a generating function…

A procedure is described that makes use of the generating function of characters to obtain a new generating function $H$ giving the multiplicities of each weight in all the representations of a simple Lie algebra. The way to extract from…

We give the generating function for the index of integer lattice points, relative to a finite order ideal. The index is an important concept in the theory of border bases, an alternative to Gr\"obner bases. Equivalently, we explicitly solve…

In a recent paper we proposed the study of aggregation functions on lattices via clone theory approach. Observing that aggregation functions on lattices just correspond to $0,1$-monotone clones, we have shown that all aggregation functions…

Given an integer $M\geq 2$, we deploy the generating function techniques to compute the number of $M$-th roots of identity in some of the well-known finite groups of Lie type, more precisely for finite general linear groups, symplectic…

It is observed that the conjugacy growth series of the infinite fini-tary symmetric group with respect to the generating set of transpositions is the generating series of the partition function. Other conjugacy growth series are computed,…

We derive a formula for the entries in the change-of-basis matrix between Young's seminormal and natural representations of the symmetric group. These entries are determined as sums over weighted paths in the weak Bruhat graph on standard…

This is a compendium of generating functions involving single, double sums and definite integrals. These generating functions also involve special functions in both the summand function and closed form solution.

Let q be a power of 2. We show by representation theory that there exists a q x q unitary matrix of multiplicative order q+1 whose powers generate q+1 pairwise mutually unbiased base in C^q. When q is a power of an odd prime, there is a q x…

For an integer $M\geq 2$ and a finite group $G$, an element $\alpha\in G$ is called an $M$-th power if it satisfies $A^M=\alpha$ for some $A\in G$. In this article, we will deal with the case when $G$ is finite symplectic or orthogonal…

We prove that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_n(\textbf{F}_q)$ of traceless matrices over a finite field of characteristic $p$ can be generated by $2$ elements with exceptions when $(n, p)$ is $(3, 3)$ or $(4,2)$. In the latter cases, we…

Closed-form generating functions for counting one-face rooted hypermaps with a known number of darts by number of vertices and edges is found, using matrix integral expressions relating to the reduced density operator of a bipartite quantum…

A table of sums useful for generating function applications (discrete Laplace transforms or z-transforms). Related definitions and formulas (including Lagrange's expansion), and reference to formulas in Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of…

We use the generating function of the characters of $C_2$ to obtain a generating function for the multiplicities of the weights entering in the irreducible representations of that simple Lie algebra. From this generating function we derive…

The idea of generating integrals analogous to generating functions is first introduced in this paper. A new proof of the well-known Finite Harmonic Series Theorem in Analysis and Analytical Number Theory is then obtained by the method of…
