On chromatic coefficients

Explicit expressions in terms of subgraphs of the graph are given for the first five coefficients of the chromatic polynomial of a graph.     

Inequalities between Littlewood-Richardson coefficients

We prove that a conjecture of Fomin, Fulton, Li, and Poon, associated to ordered pairs of partitions, holds for many infinite families of such pairs. We also show that the bounded height case can be reduced to checking that the conjecture holds for a finite number of pairs, for any given height. Moreover, we propose a natural generalization of the conjecture to the case of skew shapes.     

Relations between regularity coefficients

For a bounded sequence of matrices defining a nonautonomous dynamics with discrete time, we obtain all possible relations between the regularity coefficients introduced by Lyapunov, Perron and Grobman. This includes considering general inequalities between the coefficients and showing that these inequalities are the best possible, in the sense that for any three nonnegative numbers satisfying them, and for no others, there exists a bounded sequence of matrices having the numbers respectively as Lyapunov, Perron and Grobman coefficients. Moreover, we establish inequalities between the three coefficients and some other regularity coefficients.

Factorisation of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients

The hive model is used to show that the saturation of any essential Horn inequality leads to the factorisation of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. The proof is based on the use of combinatorial objects known as puzzles. These are shown not only to account for the origin of Horn inequalities, but also to determine the constraints on hives that lead to factorisation. Defining a primitive Littlewood-Richardson coefficient to be one for which all essential Horn inequalities are strict, it is shown that every Littlewood-Richardson coefficient can be expressed as a product of primitive coefficients. Precisely the same result is shown to apply to the polynomials defined by stretched Littlewood-Richardson coefficients.     

Generalised stretched Littlewood-Richardson coefficients

The Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficient counts, among many other things, the LR tableaux of a given shape and a given content. We prove that the number of LR tableaux weakly increases if one adds to its shape and content the shape and the content of another LR tableau. We also investigate the behaviour of the number of LR tableaux, if one repeatedly adds to the shape another shape with either fixed or arbitrary content. This is a generalisation of the stretched LR coefficients, where one repeatedly adds the same shape and content to itself.     

Distortion coefficients for cryptocontractions

For complex Hilbert space H of d dimensions and for any number K ? 1, we may define m(K, d) as the least number with the following property: if 6p(T)6 ? K for all polynomials p mapping the complex unit disk into itself, then the operator T may be made a contraction by changing to a new norm |·|, derived from an inner product, such that

$\text{6h6 ? |h| ?m(K,d)6h6 (h∈H).}$

It is a long-standing open question whether m(K, d) has a finite bound independent of d. The present paper studies this and related questions and provides, in particular, an explicit estimate for m(K,d)—which, however, grows with d.     

Clebsch-Gordan quantum coefficients

On the basis of the investigation of the representations of the quantum group SL(2), one finds the qanalogues of the Majumdar, Racah-Fock, and van der Waerden formulas for the Clebsch-Gordan quantum coefficients. Their symmetry and particular values are investigated.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

On the fourier-vilenkin coefficients

In this article, we prove the following statement that is true for both unbounded and bounded Vilenkin systems: for any ε∈(0, 1), there exists a measurable set E [0, 1)of measure bigger than 1-ε such that for any function f ∈ L~1[0, 1), it is possible to find a function g ∈ L~1[0, 1) coinciding with f on E and the absolute values of non zero Fourier coefficients of g with respect to the Vilenkin system are monotonically decreasing.     

Negation of binomial coefficients

We extend the concept of a binomial coefficient to all integer values of its parameters. Our approach is purely algebraic, but we show that it is equivalent to the evaluation of binomial coefficients by means of the Γ-function. In particular, we prove that the traditional rule of “negation” is wrong and should be substituted by a slightly more complex rule. We also show that the “cross product” rule remains valid for the extended definition.     

Dependence of Hilbert coefficients

Let M be a finitely generated module of dimension d and depth t over a Noetherian local ring (A, \({\mathfrak{m}}\)) and I an \({\mathfrak{m}}\)-primary ideal. In the main result it is shown that the last t Hilbert coefficients \({e_{d-t+1}(I,M),\ldots, e_{d}(I,M)}\) are bounded below and above in terms of the first d ? t + 1 Hilbert coefficients \({e_{0}(I,M),\ldots,e_{d-t}(I,M)}\) and d.     

Homotopy groups with coefficients

This paper has two goals. It is an expository paper on homotopy groups with coefficients in an abelian group and it contains new results which correct old errors and omissions in low dimensions. The homotopy groups with coefficients are functors on the homotopy category of pointed spaces. They satisfy a universal coefficient theorem, give long exact sequences when applied to fibrations, and have Hurewicz maps into homology groups with coefficients.     

Ideal and subalgebra coefficients

For an ideal or -subalgebra of , consider subfields , where is generated - as ideal or -subalgebra - by polynomials in . It is a standard result for ideals that there is a smallest such . We give an algorithm to find it. We also prove that there is a smallest such for -subalgebras. The ideal results use reduced Gröbner bases. For the subalgebra results we develop and then use subduced SAGBI (bases), the analog to reduced Gröbner bases.

     

Fokker-Planck type equations with Sobolev diffusion coefficients and BV drift coefficients

Combining Le Bris and Lions’ arguments with Ambrosio’s commutator estimate for BV vector fields, we prove in this paper the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Fokker-Planck type equations with Sobolev diffusion coefficients and BV drift coefficients.     

Gauss sums and multinomial coefficients

Consider a Gauss sum for a finite field of characteristic p, where p is an odd prime. When such a sum (or a product of such sums) is a p-adic integer we show how it can be realized as a p-adic limit of a sequence of multinomial coefficients. As an application we generalize some congruences of Hahn and Lee to exhibit p-adic limit formulae, in terms of multinomial coefficients, for certain algebraic integers in imaginary quadratic fields related to the splitting of rational primes. We also give an example illustrating how such congruences arise from a p-integral formal group law attached to the p-adic unit part of a product of Gauss sums.     

Alternating signs of quiver coefficients

We prove a formula for the Grothendieck class of a quiver variety, which generalizes the cohomological component formulas of Knutson, Miller, and Shimozono. Our formula implies that the -theoretic quiver coefficients have alternating signs and gives an explicit combinatorial formula for these coefficients. We also prove some new variants of the factor sequences conjecture and a conjecture of Knutson, Miller, and Shimozono, which states that their double ratio formula agrees with the original quiver formulas of the author and Fulton. For completeness we include a short proof of the ratio formula.

     

Quadrature formulas for Fourier coefficients

We consider quadrature formulas of high degree of precision for the computation of the Fourier coefficients in expansions of functions with respect to a system of orthogonal polynomials. In particular, we show the uniqueness of a multiple node formula for the Fourier-Tchebycheff coefficients given by Micchelli and Sharma and construct new Gaussian formulas for the Fourier coefficients of a function, based on the values of the function and its derivatives.     

Positivity for some Satake coefficients

Let G be a general linear group over a local field F. We consider the matrix describing the Satake isomorphism with respect to natural bases. We give a simple proof for the positivity of all matrix coefficients that are not obviously zero. The arguments are elementary and more direct than Rapoport's original proof.
