On the spectral gap of some Cayley graphs on the Weyl group $W(B_n)$ [PDF]
The Laplacian of a (weighted) Cayley graph on the Weyl group $W(B_n)$ is a $N\times N$ matrix with $N = 2^n n!$ equal to the order of the group. We show that for a class of (weighted) generating sets, its spectral gap (lowest nontrivial eigenvalue), is ...

A Note on Skew Characters of Symmetric Groups
In previous work Regev used part of the representation theory of Lie superalgebras to compute the values of a character of the symmetric group whose decomposition into irreducible constituents is described by semistandard $(k,\ell)$-tableaux.

Partitions which are p- and q-core [PDF]
Let p and q be distinct primes, n an integer with n > p2q2. Then there is no partition of n which is at the same time p- and q-core.

An inequality for means with applications
We show that an almost trivial inequality for the first and second mean of a random variable can be used to give non-trivial improvements on deep results. As applications we improve on results on lower bounds for the Riemann zeta-function on the critical

Twisted immanant and matrices with anticommuting entries
This article gives a new matrix function named "twisted immanant," which can be regarded as an analogue of the immanant. This is defined for each self-conjugate partition through a "twisted" analogue of the irreducible character of the symmetric group ...

On the representation dimension of skew group algebras, wreath products and blocks of Hecke algebras
We establish bounds for the representation dimension of skew group algebras and wreath products. Using this, we obtain bounds for the representation dimension of a block of a Hecke algebra of type A, in terms of the weight of the block.

Wreath determinants for group-subgroup pairs [PDF]
The aim of the present paper is to generalize the notion of the group determinants for finite groups. For a finite group $G$ of order $kn$ and its subgroup $H$ of order $n$, one may define an $n$ by $kn$ matrix $X=(x_{hg^{-1}})_{h\in H,g\in G}$, where ...

On McKay's propagation theorem for the Foulkes conjecture
We translate the main theorem in Tom McKay's paper "On plethysm conjectures of Stanley and Foulkes" (J. Alg. 319, 2008, pp. 2050-2071) to the language of weight spaces and projections onto invariant spaces of tensors, which makes its proof short and ...

Multiquadratic fields generated by characters of $A_n$
For a finite group $G$, let $K(G)$ denote the field generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ by its character values. For $n>24$, G. R. Robinson and J. G. Thompson proved that $$K(A_n)=\mathbb{Q}\left (\{ \sqrt{p^*} \ : \ p\leq n \ {\text{ an odd prime with } p\neq n-

The Howe duality and the Projective Representations of Symmetric Groups
The symmetric group S_n possesses a nontrivial central extension, whose irreducible representations, different from the irreducible representations of S_n itself, coincide with the irreducible representations of a certain algebra A_n. Recently M.~Nazarov
