Inequality for symmetric polynomial functions of log concave variables

Let $(x_i)_{i \ge 1}$ be a log-concave (resp. log-convex) sequence of non-negative real variables. In other words, for $i \ge 2$, we have $x_i^2 \ge x_{i-1}x_{i+1}$ (resp. $x_i^2 \le x_{i-1}x_{i+1}$). ...

A generalization of the difference of squares identity

Let us find explicit integer functions for the coefficients of the monomial expansion of $$ Q \left( x_1, \ldots , x_n \right) = \prod_{\left( \kappa_1, \ldots , \kappa_{n-1} \right) \in \{-1,1\}^{n-1}...

counting how many boxes from a given Young tableau contribute to hook length made out of two YTs

Think of a Young diagram as a collection of rows with numbers of elements $\mu_1 \geq \mu_2 \geq \cdots \geq \mu_d \geq \mu_{d+1}=0$ (and $\mu_k=0$ for $k>d$) and define for $s=(i,j)$ (where $i$ ...

"Degenerate" Schur polynomials

Let's say that a Schur polynomial is degenerate if its number of variables is less than the weight of the partition it is associated to. For example, according to Sage, the Schur polynomial of the ...

Generalization of elementary symmetric polynomials

The elementary symmetric polynomials (ESPs) are defined as - \begin{align*} E_{1}^{1} &= X_1, \\ E_{1}^{2} &= X_1 + X_2, \\ E_{2}^{2} &= X_1 X_2, \\ E_{2}^{3} &= X_1 X_2 + X_1 X_3 + ...
