Does Manin's construction of non-commutative endomorphism algebra $\mathrm{End}(A)$ produce ...

Q1: This algebra is just the Manin black product of $A$ and $A^!$ (in other words, the Koszul dual of the Segre product of $A$ and $A^!$), and hence it is Koszul. (As requested, the Segre product of t …

Applying $\sum_i \partial_{x_i}$, $\sum_i x_i \partial_{x_i}$ and $\sum_i x_i^2 \partial_{x_...

The answer for $L_1=\sum_ix_i^2\partial_i$ can be derived in a rather straightforward way (I changed your convention a little bit to match the usual formulas for Virasoro algebra). Namely, use the det …

I accidentally (looking for something else) came across another paper where a very elegant explanation is given: Dan Laksov, Anders Thorup: Schubert Calculus on Grassmannians and Exterior Powers India …

The dimension of the Grassmannian cohomology ring $H^*(\mathrm{Gr}_{n,d})$ and the fundament...

This is very standard. For a compact complex variety admitting a cell decomposition, the (co)homology is the free Abelian group generated by the cells (over $\mathbb{C}$ there is no room for the diffe …

Using Schur-Weyl duality

In your context, you want to think of the Schur-Weyl duality as a way to construct representations of $GL(V)$ out of representations of symmetric groups. To give a precise answer along these lines tha …

(Conceptual) proof and/or interpretation of a $q$-binomial identity

There is a $q$-binomial identity that I encountered in one paper I am reading (https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.06193) which probably admits a very simple proof that I do not see: for two nonnegative intege …

A definition in poset theory

I recall seeing in various sources the terminology "cover preserving embedding" and "cover preserving subposet". Googling it now (https://www.google.com/search?q=poset+%22cover+preserving%22) brings s …

Special permutations of $\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\}$

The argument goes as follows. Let us consider the events $A_i=\{ i(i+1) \text{ occurs in a permutation} \}$ and $B_i=\{ (i+1)i \text{ occurs in a permutation} \}$. Some pairs of events like that canno …

A positive formula for the dimensions of homogeneous components of free Lie algebras

Now, to the matter of "positive formulas". Classical result of Kraskiewicz and Weyman (preprint W. Kraskiewicz, J. Weyman. Algebra of Invariants and the Action of a Coxeter Element. Math. Inst. Copern …

A positive formula for the dimensions of homogeneous components of free Lie algebras

vector partition

For rather trivial reasons, $$ 1+\sum_{(k,l)\ne (0,0)}p(k,l)x^ky^l=\prod_{(p,q)\ne(0,0)}\frac{1}{1-x^py^q} . $$ Since these numbers include, as $p(n,0)$, the one-dimensional partition numbers, you …

What is known about the plethysm $\text{Sym}^d(\bigwedge^3 \mathbb{C}^6)$

No, it is not multiplicity-free. Already for $d=6$, this representation contains the Schur functor $S^{4,4,4,2,2,2}$ twice. This can be easily checked in Magma (even the online calculator) issuing the …

Number of zeros of quadratic equation over finite fields

The answer (already given in comments, with a small misprint/mistake) is: (a) for even $r=2k+2$, it is $q^{m-1}+(q-1)q^{m-k-2}\eta((-1)^{k+1})$, where $\eta$ is the quadratic character of $\mathbb{F} …

Two combinatorial identities

This is inspired by Fedor's answer: Consider $$ f(m):=-\frac{\binom{ab}{m}\binom{cd}{m}(m-bc)(m-ad)}{\binom{ad-1}{m}\binom{bc-1}{m}(a-c)(b-d)}. $$ Then $$ f(m+1)-f(m)=-\frac{\binom{ab}{m+1}\binom …
