[HTML][HTML] Refined knot invariants and Hilbert schemes

E Gorsky, A Neguţ - Journal de mathématiques pures et appliquées, 2015 - Elsevier
We consider the construction of refined Chern–Simons torus knot invariants by M. Aganagic
and S. Shakirov from the DAHA viewpoint of I. Cherednik. We give a proof of Cherednik's …

The Hilb-vs-Quot conjecture

O Kivinen, MTQ Trinh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.19633, 2023 - arxiv.org
Let $ R $ be the complete local ring of a complex plane curve germ and $ S $ its
normalization. We propose a conjecture relating the virtual weight polynomials of the Hilbert …

The combinatorics of knot invariants arising from the study of Macdonald polynomials

J Haglund - Recent trends in combinatorics, 2016 - Springer
This chapter gives an expository account of some unexpected connections which have
arisen over the last few years between Macdonald polynomials, invariants of torus knots …

Strange Expectations in Affine Weyl Groups

EN Stucky, M Thiel, N Williams - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.14481, 2023 - arxiv.org
Our main result is a generalization, to all affine Weyl groups, of P. Johnson's proof of D.
Armstrong's conjecture for the expected number of boxes in a simultaneous core. This …

[HTML][HTML] Strange expectations and the Winnie-the-Pooh problem

M Thiel, N Williams - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2020 - Elsevier
Motivated by the study of simultaneous cores, we give three proofs (in varying levels of
generality) that the expected norm of a weight in a highest weight representation V λ of a …

[PDF][PDF] 1 Canonical Decompositions of Affine Permutations and the k-Littlewood-Richardson Rule

T Denton - inventingsituations.net
The k-Schur functions are a generalization of Schur functions originally studied by Lapointe
and Morse, arising as the cohomology of the affine Grassmannian. These functions are thus …

[PDF][PDF] Winnie-the-Pooh and the Strange Expectations

M Thiel, N Williams - Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci, 2018 - emis.de
We prove that the expected norm of a weight in a highest weight representation g (λ) of a
complex simple Lie algebra g is 1 h+1 (λ, λ+ 2ρ) by relating it to the “Winnie-the-Pooh …
