On the spectral gap of some Cayley graphs on the Weyl group $W(B_n)$ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2001
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

open access: yes, 2008
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

open access: yes, 2015
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

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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

open access: yes, 2015
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 $A_n$

open access: yes, 2019
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

open access: yes, 1998
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
