Inverse zero-sum problems in finite Abelian p-groups

Benjamin Girard (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the minimal number of elements of maximal order occurring in a zero-sumfree sequence over a finite Abelian p-group. For this purpose, and in the general context of finite Abelian groups, we introduce a new number, for which lower and upper bounds are proved in the case of finite Abelian p-groups. Among other consequences, our method implies that, if we denote by exp(G) the exponent of the finite Abelian p-group G considered, every zero-sumfree sequence S with maximal possible length over...

Jucys-Murphy element and walks on modified Young graph

Akihito Hora (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Biane found out that irreducible decomposition of some representations of the symmetric group admits concentration at specific isotypic components in an appropriate large n scaling limit. This deepened the result on the limit shape of Young diagrams due to Vershik-Kerov and Logan-Shepp in a wider framework. In particular, it is remarkable that asymptotic behavior of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in this regime was characterized in terms of an operation in free probability of Voiculescu....

Jucys-Murphy elements and the unitary Weingarten function

Jonathan I. Novak (2010)

Banach Center Publications

We describe an approach to the unitary Weingarten function based on the JM elements of symmetric group algebras. When combined with previously known properties of the Weingarten function, this gives a surprising connection with the Moebius function of the lattice of noncrossing partitions.
