The symmetric group $S_n$ is the group of permutations of the set of integers $\{1,\dots,n\}$. This has $n!$ elements and is generated by the $n-1$ involutions exchanging consecutive integers. The symmetric groups form the simplest family of Coxeter groups.

An $n!\times n!$ determinant
Let us consider the matrix $A$ with its rows and columns enumerated by the elements of $S_n$ with $A_{\sigma\tau}=x^{c(\sigma\tau^{-1})}$ where $c()$ is the number of cycles in a permutation's decompo …

Why are Jucys-Murphy elements' eigenvalues whole numbers?
The Jucys-Murphy elements of the group algebra of a finite symmetric group (here's the definition in Wikipedia) are known to correspond to operators diagonal in the Young basis of an irreducible repre …

Why are Jucys-Murphy elements' eigenvalues whole numbers?
I came up with a more or less elementary proof of the identity from the top comment to my question. It involves nothing more advanced than some basic linear algebra.
Namely, let us denote $X_k=\sum\l …

Reference for an "elementary" combinatorial fact
This is a question I've been meaning to ask for quite some time.
Fact. For $n\in\mathbb N$ consider the set of segments $R=\{[i,j], 1\le i<j\le n\}$. Let a subset $E\subset R$ be nice iff $E$ is clos …

Gelfand-Tsetlin algebras and "Jucys-Murphy elements" for $\mathfrak{gl}_n$
I'm trying to figure out/find in literature the details concerning Gelfand-Tsetlin algebras for $\mathfrak{gl}_n(\mathbb C)$ (Okounkov-Vershik style, if you wish).
Consider the chain $$\mathcal U(\ma …

Since, surprisingly, there are still no answers or even comments, let me note that the answer to the last question is well known to be "yes": the Schubert cell containing a flag $(E_1,\dots,E_m)$ is i …
