Generalized Puiseux series for diagonal reflections of the curves $y = \frac{x}{(1-ax)(1-bx)^m}$

Reflection of the curve $y = f_m(x) = \frac{x}{(1-ax)(1-bx)^m}$ through the diagonal line $y=x$ in the $xy$-plane can be regarded as local compositional inversion of the curve $y=f_m(x)$. ($x,y,a,b$ ...

Inequality for $q$-binomials

Recall the constructions $[n]_q=\frac{1-q^n}{1-q}, [n]!_q=[1]_q[2]_q\cdots[n]_q$ with $[0]!_q:=1$ and the $q$-binomials (Gaussian polynomials) $$\binom{n}k_q=\frac{[n]!_q}{[k]!_q[n-k]!_q}.$$ Given two ...

"Cluster algebra" structure for finite distributive lattices

Let $P$ be an $n$-element poset and $J(P)$ the distributive lattice of its order ideals (i.e., the downwards-closed sets). For each $I\in J(P)$ let $x_I \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be the indicator function ...

Factorizable partition polynomials

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of (unrestricted) integer partition of $n$ which has the product generating function $$\sum_{n\geq0}p(n)\,x^n=\prod_{j\geq1}\frac1{1-x^j}.$$ On the other hand, for the ...

Fibonacci embedded in Catalan?

Given a partition $\lambda$ and its Young diagram $\pmb{Y}_{\lambda}$, we say $\lambda$ is a $(t,s)$-core partition provided that neither $t$ nor $s$ is a hook length in $\pmb{Y}_{\lambda}$. We now ...

Maximally independent polynomial families with row symmetry

Introduction: In the 1-dimensional case, given $m$-variables $$\mathbf{x} = (x_1,x_2,\dots,x_m)^T,$$ the elementary symmetric polynomials $(e_k(\mathbf{x}))_{k=1}^m$ give a "symmetric basis",...

Asymptotics of Hilbert series for locally finite free graded-commutative algebras?

Let $A^\bullet$ be an $\mathbb N$-graded algebra over a field $k$, and let $d_A(n) = \dim A^n$ be the dimension of the $n$-th graded piece, so that $P^A(t) = \sum_n d_A(n) t^n$ is the Hilbert-Poincare ...

Sources for describing the characteristic polynomial of a nonintegral hyperplane arrangement in terms of point counting?

I have a family of hyperplane arrangements, and I'd like to describe their characteristic polynomials. When the hyperplanes are defined over the integers, the easiest way for me to do this is to use ...

A question about the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud-Horrocks Conjecture

It's known that Mark E. Walker proved the "weaker" version of Buchsbaum-Eisenbud-Horrocks' Conjecture (BEH). Although the claim was stated to hold in arbitrary field $k$, Walker's proof does not seem ...

A non-matroidal notion of dependence on a set of ideals

Assume we are given a set of ideals $I_1, \dots, I_s$ in a commutative polynomial ring. Let's define a subset indexed by $A\subseteq [s] = \{ 1,2,\dots, s\}$ as dependent if there exists an $a\in A$ ...
