Analogue of conic sections for the permutohedra, associahedra, and noncrossing partitions
Slicing cones in various ways with a plane generates conic sections identified geometrically as hyperbolas, parabolas, or ellipses and algebraically, when suitably rotated, as certain rescaled ...

Recognizing algebraic independence among Schur polynomials
Given a set of integer partitions $\{\lambda_1, \lambda_2,\dots \lambda_n\}$. Are there combinatorial criteria for deciding whether the associated Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda_1}, s_{\lambda_2},\dots ...

A closed formula for $A_n(X)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^n X^{i^2}$
I want to know if there exists a closed formula for sum $A_n(X)=\sum \limits_{i=0}^n X^{i^2}$.
I have found if $n$ is odd then $(X^n+1)\text{ | } A_n(X)$, but I don't have found a closed formula.

Extension of work by Novelli and Thibon on noncommutative symmetric functions and Lagrange inversion
(Edit May 12, 2023: I just put up a brief summary of some of my notes on the partition polynomials described below in my WordPress mini-arXiv at "As Above, So Below". It contains multinomial ...

Noncrossing partitions in Hopf algebras/monoids via compositional inversion
Partition polynomials constructed from the face structures of the associahedra (OEIS A133437) and permutahedra (A133314) comprise the antipodes/compositional inverses in a Faa-di-Bruno-type Hopf ...

Combinatorial models of the refined inverse Eulerian numbers
If I evaluate substitution of an infinite set of indeterminates $(c_1,c_2,c_3,\cdots)$ into the infinite set of refined Eulerian polynomials $[E]$ of OEIS A145271, I obtain the Taylor series ...

Log associahedra and log noncrossing partitions--raising ops and symmetric function theory for $A_n$ (references)
Where do the following three sets $[LA]$, $[ILA]$, and $[LN]$ of partition polynomials appear in the literature?
There are two sets of partition polynomials, not in the OEIS, that serve as the ...
