Parameter independence of Stanley's "content formula". Why?

For a cell $\square$ in the Young diagram of a partition $\lambda$, let $h_{\square}$ and $c_{\square}$ denote the hook length and content of $\square$, respectively. R. Stanley remarked following ...

probabilistic terminology for polynomials with positive coefficients

Given a polynomial $P(x) = p_0 + p_1 x + p_2 x^2 + ... + p_n x^n$ with non-negative coefficients, is there a standard name for (the function of $p_1,...,p_n$ equal to) the variance of an integer-...

Enumerating a class of polynomials

How many equivalence classes of $\Bbb F_2[x,y]$ polynomials with $x$ degree $n_x$ and $y$ degree $n_y$ are there such that each $y^i$ coefficient (polynomial in $\Bbb Z[x]$) is distinct and $x^i$ ...

A multi-variable "Fibonacci polynomial"?

There is a tremendous literature on the Fibonacci sequence, including its polynomial analogue $F_{-1}=0, F_0=1$ and $$F_n(x)=xF_{n-1}(x)+F_{n-2} \qquad \text{for $n\geq1$}.$$ What I have found is the ...

Hilbert series of the weight 0 sub-algebra of the algebra of functions on GL(N)

Let $A$ be the algebra of polynomials in $N^2$ variables $x^i_j$, $i,j=1,\dots,N$. It is $\mathbb{Z}^N$ graded, with $\text{weight}(x^i_j)=e_i-e_j$. Here $(e_1,\dots,e_n)$ is the standard basis of $\...

Construct generating functions of series of palindromic polynomials

I have a problem that is generating a series ($d=2,4,\ldots,20,\ldots$) of pairs of $4 d$-degree palindromic (self-reciprocal) polynomials. The first three members ($d=2,4,6$) of the first pair are: \...

A question about integer representation as a sum of two coprime integers

It is easy to see that every natural number $n$ can be written in a unique way $n = a+b$ where $gcd(a,b)=1$, $b>a$ and $b-a$ is minimal with this property. For instance if $n$ is odd the ...

Arithmetic triangles and unimodality of its rows

Let's consider the sequence of coefficients of $\prod_{i}\frac {1-x^{d_i}} {1-x}$, where $d_i$ is a monotonically increasing nonnegative integer sequence. How to prove that the coefficients form an ...
