New Identities for Hall-Littlewood Polynomials and Applications

Starting from Macdonald's summation formula of Hall-Littlewood polynomials over bounded partitions and its even partition analogue, Stembridge (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 319(2), (1990) 469–498) derived sixteen multiple q-identities of Rogers–Ramanujan type. Inspired by our recent results on Schur functions (Adv. Appl. Math., 27, (2001) 493–509) and based on computer experiments we obtain two further such summation formulae of Hall-Littlewood polynomials over bounded partitions and derive six new multiple q-identities of Rogers–Ramanujan type. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary–05A19; Secondary–05A17, 05A30     

A Higher Level Bailey Lemma: Proof and Application

In a recent letter, new representations were proposed for the pair of sequences (,), as defined formally by Bailey in his famous lemma. Here we extend and prove this result, providing pairs (,) labelled by the Lie algebra AN – 1, two nonnegative integers and k and a partition , whose parts do not exceed N – 1. Our results give rise to what we call a higher level Bailey lemma. As an application it is shown how this lemma can be applied to yield general q-series identities, which generalize some well-known results of Andrews and Bressoud.     

Rogers-Ramanujan Type Identities for Partitions with Attached Odd Parts

In this paper we present a new infinite family of partition identities. The genesis of our work lies in two formulas of Lucy Slater related to the modulus 8. Hirschhorn, Agarwal and Subbarao have previously found intriguing interpretations for Slater's formula, but none has led to an infinite family of results.     

A New Approach to Polynomial Identities

Using the formal derivative idea, we give a generalization for the Cauchys Theorem relating to the factors of (x + y)ⁿ–xⁿ– yⁿ. We determine the polynomials A(n, a, b) and B(n, a, b) such that the polynomial

Note on the Monotonicity of Coefficients for Some q-Series Arising from Ramanujan's Lost Notebook

In this note, we shall give a partition-theoretic interpretation which explains the non-negativity of the coefficients of some q-series arising from Ramanujan's Lost Notebook and prove the almost-increasingness of the coefficients via a vector partition generating function.     

Identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Bailey type

A multiparameter generalization of the Bailey pair is defined in such a way as to include as special cases all Bailey pairs considered by W.N. Bailey in his paper [Identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type, Proc. London Math. Soc. (2) 50 (1949) 421-435]. This leads to the derivation of a number of elegant new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities.     

Group Identities and Prime Rings Generated by Units

Abstract

Let R be a prime ring and U(R) the group of units of R. We prove that if U(R) generates R and satisfies a group identity,then R is either a domain or a full matrix ring over a finite field.

On the Evaluation of Polynomial Coefficients

The evaluation of the coefficients of a polynomial from its zeros is considered. We show that when the evaluation is carried out by the standard algorithm in finite precision arithmetic, the accuracy of the computed coefficients depends on the order in which the zeros are introduced. An ordering that enhances the accuracy for many polynomials is presented.     

Overpartitions, lattice paths, and Rogers-Ramanujan identities

We extend partition-theoretic work of Andrews, Bressoud, and Burge to overpartitions, defining the notions of successive ranks, generalized Durfee squares, and generalized lattice paths, and then relating these to overpartitions defined by multiplicity conditions on the parts. This leads to many new partition and overpartition identities, and provides a unification of a number of well-known identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type. Among these are Gordon's generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, Andrews' generalization of the Göllnitz-Gordon identities, and Lovejoy's “Gordon's theorems for overpartitions.”     

Application of Full Quivers of Representations of Algebras,to Polynomial Identities

In [7 Belov , A. , Rowen , L. H. , Vishne , U. Full quivers of representations of algebras. To appear in Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.  [Google Scholar]] we introduced the notion of full quivers of representations of algebras, which are more explicit than quivers of algebras, and better suited for algebras over finite fields. Here, we consider full quivers as a combinatorial tool in order to describe PI-varieties of algebras. We apply the theory to clarify the proofs of diverse topics in the literature: Determining which relatively free algebras are weakly Noetherian, determining when relatively free algebras are finitely presented, presenting a quick proof for the rationality of the Hilbert series of a relatively free PI-algebra, and explaining counterexamples to Specht's conjecture for varieties of Lie algebras.

Further bibasic hypergeometric transformations and their applications

In this paper, we give several new transformation formulae and generalize one result obtained by Singh [U.B. Singh, Certain bibasic hypergeometric transformations and their applications, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 201 (1996) 44-56] with the help of Bailey's transform. Further, some new multiple series identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type are established.     

q-Series and L-functions related to half-derivatives of the Andrews-Gordon identity

Studied is a generalization of Zagier’s q-series identity. We introduce a generating function of L-functions at non-positive integers, which is regarded as a half-differential of the Andrews-Gordon q-series. When q is a root of unity, the generating function coincides with the quantum invariant for the torus knot. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—11F67, 57M27, 05A30, 11F23     

Approximate Identities, Almost-Periodic Functions and Toeplitz Operators

A sequence {A } of linear bounded operators is called stable if, for all sufficiently large , the inverses of A exist and their norms are uniformly bounded. We consider the stability problem for sequences of Toeplitz operators {T(k a)}, where a(t) is an almost-periodic function on unit circle and k a is an approximate identity. A stability criterion is established in terms of the invertibility of a family of almost-periodic functions. This family of functions depends on the approximate identity used in a very subtle way, and the stability condition is, in general, stronger than the invertibility condition of the Toeplitz operator T(a).     

On identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type

A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (Proc. London Math. Soc. (2), 50, 421–435 (1949)), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of associated q-difference equations points to a connection with a mild extension of Gordon’s combinatorial generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities (Amer. J. Math., 83, 393–399 (1961)). This, in turn, allows the formulation of natural combinatorial interpretations of many of the identities in Slater’s list (Proc. London Math. Soc. (2) 54, 147–167 (1952)), as well as the new identities presented here. A list of 26 new double sum–product Rogers-Ramanujan type identities are included as an Appendix. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—11B65; Secondary—11P81, 05A19, 39A13     

A partition bijection related to the Rogers-Selberg identities and Gordon's theorem

We provide a bijective map from the partitions enumerated by the series side of the Rogers-Selberg mod 7 identities onto partitions associated with a special case of Basil Gordon's combinatorial generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. The implications of applying the same map to a special case of David Bressoud's even modulus analog of Gordon's theorem are also explored.     

The numerical range of a tridiagonal operator

Let r be a real number and A a tridiagonal operator defined by Aej=ej−1+rjej+1, j=1,2,…, where {e₁,e₂,…} is the standard orthonormal basis for ?²(N). Such tridiagonal operators arise in Rogers-Ramanujan identities. In this paper, we study the numerical ranges of these tridiagonal operators and finite-dimensional tridiagonal matrices. In particular, when r=−1, the numerical range of the finite-dimensional tridiagonal matrix is the convex hull of two explicit ellipses. Applying the result, we obtain that the numerical range of the tridiagonal operator is the square
