Macdonald Polynomial
In mathematics, Macdonald polynomials ''P''λ(''x''; ''t'',''q'') are a family of orthogonal symmetric polynomials in several variables, introduced by Macdonald in 1987. He later introduced a non-symmetric generalization in 1995. Macdonald originally associated his polynomials with weights λ of finite root systems and used just one variable ''t'', but later realized that it is more natural to associate them with affine root systems rather than finite root systems, in which case the variable ''t'' can be replaced by several different variables ''t''=(''t''1,...,''t''''k''), one for each of the ''k'' orbits of roots in the affine root system. The Macdonald polynomials are polynomials in ''n'' variables ''x''=(''x''1,...,''x''''n''), where ''n'' is the rank of the affine root system. They generalize many other families of orthogonal polynomials, such as Jack polynomials and Hall–Littlewood polynomials and Askey–Wilson polynomials, which in turn include most of the named 1-va ...

Orthogonal Polynomials
In mathematics, an orthogonal polynomial sequence is a family of polynomials such that any two different polynomials in the sequence are orthogonality, orthogonal to each other under some inner product. The most widely used orthogonal polynomials are the classical orthogonal polynomials, consisting of the Hermite polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials and the Jacobi polynomials. The Gegenbauer polynomials form the most important class of Jacobi polynomials; they include the Chebyshev polynomials, and the Legendre polynomials as special cases. The field of orthogonal polynomials developed in the late 19th century from a study of continued fractions by Pafnuty Chebyshev, P. L. Chebyshev and was pursued by Andrey Markov, A. A. Markov and Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, T. J. Stieltjes. They appear in a wide variety of fields: numerical analysis (Gaussian quadrature, quadrature rules), probability theory, representation theory (of Lie group, Lie groups, quantum group, quantum groups, and re ...

Q-Pochhammer Symbol
In mathematical area of combinatorics, the ''q''-Pochhammer symbol, also called the ''q''-shifted factorial, is the product (a;q)_n = \prod_^ (1-aq^k)=(1-a)(1-aq)(1-aq^2)\cdots(1-aq^), with (a;q)_0 = 1. It is a ''q''-analog of the Pochhammer symbol (x)_n = x(x+1)\dots(x+n-1), in the sense that \lim_ \frac = (x)_n. The ''q''-Pochhammer symbol is a major building block in the construction of ''q''-analogs; for instance, in the theory of basic hypergeometric series, it plays the role that the ordinary Pochhammer symbol plays in the theory of generalized hypergeometric series. Unlike the ordinary Pochhammer symbol, the ''q''-Pochhammer symbol can be extended to an infinite product: (a;q)_\infty = \prod_^ (1-aq^k). This is an analytic function of ''q'' in the interior of the unit disk, and can also be considered as a formal power series in ''q''. The special case \phi(q) = (q;q)_\infty=\prod_^\infty (1-q^k) is known as Euler's function, and is important in combinatorics, number theory ...

Isospectral Hilbert Scheme
In mathematics, two linear operators are called isospectral or cospectral if they have the same spectrum. Roughly speaking, they are supposed to have the same sets of eigenvalues, when those are counted with multiplicity. The theory of isospectral operators is markedly different depending on whether the space is finite or infinite dimensional. In finite-dimensions, one essentially deals with square matrices. In infinite dimensions, the spectrum need not consist solely of isolated eigenvalues. However, the case of a compact operator on a Hilbert space (or Banach space) is still tractable, since the eigenvalues are at most countable with at most a single limit point λ = 0. The most studied isospectral problem in infinite dimensions is that of the Laplace operator on a domain in R2. Two such domains are called isospectral if their Laplacians are isospectral. The problem of inferring the geometrical properties of a domain from the spectrum of its Laplacian is often kno ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

N! Conjecture
In mathematics, the ''n''! conjecture is the conjecture that the dimension of a certain bi-graded module of diagonal harmonics is ''n''!. It was made by A. M. Garsia and M. Haiman and later proved by M. Haiman. It implies Macdonald's positivity conjecture about the Macdonald polynomials. Formulation and background The Macdonald polynomials P_\lambda are a two-parameter family of orthogonal polynomials indexed by a positive weight λ of a root system, introduced by Ian G. Macdonald (1987). They generalize several other families of orthogonal polynomials, such as Jack polynomials and Hall–Littlewood polynomials.

Schur Polynomial
In mathematics, Schur polynomials, named after Issai Schur, are certain symmetric polynomials in ''n'' variables, indexed by partitions, that generalize the elementary symmetric polynomials and the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials. In representation theory they are the characters of polynomial irreducible representations of the general linear groups. The Schur polynomials form a linear basis for the space of all symmetric polynomials. Any product of Schur polynomials can be written as a linear combination of Schur polynomials with non-negative integral coefficients; the values of these coefficients is given combinatorially by the Littlewood–Richardson rule. More generally, skew Schur polynomials are associated with pairs of partitions and have similar properties to Schur polynomials. Definition (Jacobi's bialternant formula) Schur polynomials are indexed by integer partitions. Given a partition , where , and each is a non-negative integer, the functions a_ (x_1, ...

Combinatorial Formula For The Macdonald Polynomials
Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with counting, both as a means and an end in obtaining results, and certain properties of finite structures. It is closely related to many other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from logic to statistical physics and from evolutionary biology to computer science. Combinatorics is well known for the breadth of the problems it tackles. Combinatorial problems arise in many areas of pure mathematics, notably in algebra, probability theory, topology, and geometry, as well as in its many application areas. Many combinatorial questions have historically been considered in isolation, giving an ''ad hoc'' solution to a problem arising in some mathematical context. In the later twentieth century, however, powerful and general theoretical methods were developed, making combinatorics into an independent branch of mathematics in its own right. One of the oldest and most accessible parts of combinatorics is grap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Double Affine Hecke Algebra
In mathematics, a double affine Hecke algebra, or Cherednik algebra, is an algebra containing the Hecke algebra of an affine Weyl group, given as the quotient of the group ring of a double affine braid group. They were introduced by Cherednik, who used them to prove Macdonald's constant term conjecture for Macdonald polynomials. Infinitesimal Cherednik algebras have significant implications in representation theory, and therefore have important applications in particle physics and in chemistry Chemistry is the science, scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.

Dyson Conjecture
In mathematics, the Dyson conjecture is a conjecture about the constant term of certain Laurent polynomials, proved independently in 1962 by Kenneth G. Wilson, Wilson and Gunson. George Andrews (mathematician), Andrews generalized it to the q-Dyson conjecture, proved by Doron Zeilberger, Zeilberger and David Bressoud, Bressoud and sometimes called the Zeilberger–Bressoud theorem. Ian G. Macdonald, Macdonald generalized it further to more general root systems with the Macdonald constant term conjecture, proved by Ivan Cherednik, Cherednik. Dyson conjecture The Dyson conjecture states that the Laurent polynomial :\prod _(1-t_i/t_j)^ has constant term :\frac. The conjecture was first proved independently by and . later found a short proof, by observing that the Laurent polynomials, and therefore their constant terms, satisfy the recursion relations :F(a_1,\dots,a_n) = \sum_^nF(a_1,\dots,a_i-1,\dots,a_n).
