Positivity of Schur function expansions of Thom polynomials

Piotr Pragacz, Andrzej Weber (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Combining the approach to Thom polynomials via classifying spaces of singularities with the Fulton-Lazarsfeld theory of cone classes and positive polynomials for ample vector bundles, we show that the coefficients of the Schur function expansions of the Thom polynomials of stable singularities are nonnegative with positive sum.

Positivity of Thom polynomials II: the Lagrange singularities

Małgorzata Mikosz, Piotr Pragacz, Andrzej Weber (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study Thom polynomials associated with Lagrange singularities. We expand them in the basis of Q̃-functions. This basis plays a key role in the Schubert calculus of isotropic Grassmannians. We prove that the Q̃-function expansions of the Thom polynomials of Lagrange singularities always have nonnegative coefficients. This is an analog of a result on the Thom polynomials of mapping singularities and Schur S-functions, established formerly by the last two authors.

Pretty cleanness and filter-regular sequences

Somayeh Bandari, Kamran Divaani-Aazar, Ali Soleyman Jahan (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let K be a field and S = K [ x 1 , ... , x n ] . Let I be a monomial ideal of S and u 1 , ... , u r be monomials in S . We prove that if u 1 , ... , u r form a filter-regular sequence on S / I , then S / I is pretty clean if and only if S / ( I , u 1 , ... , u r ) is pretty clean. Also, we show that if u 1 , ... , u r form a filter-regular sequence on S / I , then Stanley’s conjecture is true for S / I if and only if it is true for S / ( I , u 1 , ... , u r ) . Finally, we prove that if u 1 , ... , u r is a minimal set of generators for I which form either a d -sequence, proper sequence or strong s -sequence (with respect to the reverse lexicographic...

Quasigroup automorphisms and symmetric group characters

Brent Kerby, Jonathan D. H. Smith (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The automorphisms of a quasigroup or Latin square are permutations of the set of entries of the square, and thus belong to conjugacy classes in symmetric groups. These conjugacy classes may be recognized as being annihilated by symmetric group class functions that belong to a λ -ideal of the special λ -ring of symmetric group class functions.

Radicals of symmetric cellular algebras

Yanbo Li (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For a symmetric cellular algebra, we study properties of the dual basis of a cellular basis first. Then a nilpotent ideal is constructed. The ideal connects the radicals of cell modules with the radical of the algebra. It also yields some information on the dimensions of simple modules. As a by-product, we obtain some equivalent conditions for a finite-dimensional symmetric cellular algebra to be semisimple.
