In this paper we will present a new construction of any real geometric (Clifford) algebra $${mathbb {G}}^{(p,q)}$$ with signature (p, q) where $$p+q=n$$ by defining a product on the vector space $${mathbb {R}}^{(2^n)}$$ in a manner similar to Gauss’ ordered pair construction of the complex numbers ( $${mathbb {C}}$$ ) and Hamilton’s ordered quadruple construction of the quaternions ( $${mathbb {H}}$$ ). We will motivate the definition of a geometric product on $${mathbb {G}}^{(p,q)}$$ by generalizing the ordered tuple definition of multiplication on each of $${mathbb {C}}$$ and $${mathbb {H}}$$ . Similar to the way in which Gauss obtains the basis $${1, i}$$ from the ordered pair definition of multiplication on $${mathbb {C}}$$ , we will likewise derive a basis of monomials for $${mathbb {G}}^{(p,q)}$$ by multiplying those ordered $$2^n$$ tuples that generate $${mathbb {G}}^{(p,q)}$$ .

Abstract Consider Young diagrams of n boxes distributed according to the Plancherel measure. So those diagrams could be the output of the RSK algorithm, when applied to random permutations of the set $${1,ldots ,n}$$ {1,…,n} . Here we are interested in asymptotics, as $$nrightarrow infty $$ n→∞ , of expectations of certain functions of random Young diagrams, such as the number of bumping steps of the RSK algorithm that leads to that diagram, the side length of its Durfee square, or the logarithm of its probability. We can express these functions in terms of hook lengths or contents of the boxes of the diagram, which opens the door for application of known polynomiality results for Plancherel averages. We thus obtain representations of expectations as binomial convolutions, that can be further analyzed with the help of Rice’s integral or Poisson generating functions. Among our results is a very explicit expression for the constant appearing in the almost equipartition property of the Plancherel measure.

In this paper, we establish sharp subcritical and critical second-order Adams inequalities in Lorentz–Sobolev spaces. We also prove the subcritical and critical Adams inequalities are actually equivalent and our results extend existing ones in Tang (Potential Anal 53(1):297–314, 2020) to second order.

A polynomial is called self-reciprocal (or palindromic) if the sequence of its coefficients is palindromic. In this paper we obtain improved error bounds for the numbers of irreducible monic polynomials and self-reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials with prescribed coefficients over a finite field $${mathbb F}_{q}$$ . The new lower bounds are used to derive some existence results about irreducible monic polynomials of degree d and self-reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials of degree 2d with roughly d/2 coefficients prescribed at positions including the middle range $$d/2-log _q dle jle d/2+log _q d$$ .
如果一个多项式的系数序列是回文的,那么它就被称为自互反的(或回文的)。本文在有限域$${mathbb F}_{q}$$上得到了不可约一元多项式和具有规定系数的自互易不可约一元多项式数目的改进误差界。利用新的下界,导出了d次不可约一元多项式和2d次自倒不可约一元多项式的存在性结果,这些多项式的系数大致为d/2,在包括中间范围$$d/2-log _q dle jle d/2+log _q d$$的位置上。

Functional equations with one catalytic variable appear in several combinatorial applications, most notably in the enumeration of lattice paths and in the enumeration of planar maps. The main purpose of this paper is to show that under certain positivity assumptions, the dominant singularity of the solution has a universal behavior. We have to distinguish between linear catalytic equations, where a dominating square root singularity appears, and non-linear catalytic equations, where we—usually—have a singularity of type 3/2.

Abstract We study the size of the automorphism group of two different types of random trees: Galton–Watson trees and rooted Pólya trees. In both cases, we prove that it asymptotically follows a log-normal distribution and provide asymptotic formulas for the mean and variance of the logarithm of the size of the automorphism group. While the proof for Galton–Watson trees mainly relies on probabilistic arguments and a general result on additive tree functionals, generating functions are used in the case of rooted Pólya trees. We also show how to extend the results to some classes of unrooted trees.

Abstract We study linear PDE constraints for vector-valued functions and distributions. Our focus lies on wave solutions, which give rise to distributions with low-dimensional support. Special waves from vector potentials are represented by syzygies. We parametrize all waves by projective varieties derived from the support of the PDE. These include determinantal varieties and Fano varieties, and they generalize wave cones in analysis.
