What algebras generate polynomial count varieties as their representations spaces ? Is it preserved by the Koszul duality, Manin's endomorphisms?
Consider for example commutative polynomial algebra $C[x,y]: xy=yx$, look on $F_p$-matrices satisfying that relation - the number over $F_p$ will be given by polynomial in $p$ (classical result due to ...

Where does the definition of ($\infty$-)groupoid cardinality come from?
The cardinality of a finite set $X$ is the number of its elements. Once you know that, you would define the groupoid cardinality of a $\infty$-groupoid $X$ as the quantity
$$\lvert X\rvert := \sum_{[x]...

Is there an integral fusion ring which is not of Frobenius type?
Combinatorially, a fusion ring $\mathcal{F}$ is nothing but a finite set $B=\{b_1, \dots, b_r\}$ (generating the $\mathbb{Z}$-module $\mathbb{Z} B$) together with fusion rules: $$ b_i \cdot b_j = \...

Interpretation of superfactorial in terms of plane partitions
Recently I got interested in plane partitions and the following formula by MacMahon, which counts the number of plane partitions $\pi \in B(r,s,t)$ fitting in an $(r,s,t)$-box:

A fusion ring identity
Fusion rings
I'll more or less stick to the presentation given in this question: [1]
We define a fusion ring as follows: consider a free $\mathbb{Z}$-module $\mathbb{Z}\mathcal{B}$ with finite basis ...

det(A)det(B) = det(AB+correction), Capelli identities, "factorized" representation of $\mathfrak {gl}_n$
Context: Some probably know that there are Capelli identities which state
$$det(A)det(B) = det(AB+correction)$$ for some matrices with non-commuting elements, they go back to the 19-th century, but ...

Negative $q$-binomial series: reference request
There seems to be a result for formal series (I hope this is right) for all integer $r\ge 0$

\sum_{n\ge 0} (-x)^n\ {{n+r}\choose{r}}_{q} = (1+x)^{-1}(1+qx)^{-1}\dots
(1+q^{r}x)^{-1}

Modules over quantum complete intersections
Let $a_i \geq 2$ be natural numbers and $q_{ij}$ field elements of the field $k$ for $i>j$.
A quantum complete intersection is the algebra $A:=k<x_1,...,x_n>/(x_i^{a_i},x_i x_j - q_{ij} x_j ...

A direct proof of the Harer-Zagier recursion enumerating the ways to paste a 2n-gon to get a genus g surface?
In a 1986 paper, Harer and Zagier proved the recursion:
