A Unified Elementary Approach to the Dyson, Morris, Aomoto, and Forrester Constant Term Identities

We introduce an elementary method to give unified proofs of the Dyson, Morris, and Aomoto identities for constant terms of Laurent polynomials. These identities can be expressed as equalities of polynomials and thus can be proved by verifying them for sufficiently many values, usually at negative integers where they vanish. Our method also proves some special cases of the Forrester conjecture.Comment: 20 page

Notes on Feynman Integrals and Renormalization

I review various aspects of Feynman integrals, regularization and renormalization. Following Bloch, I focus on a linear algebraic approach to the Feynman rules, and I try to bring together several renormalization methods found in the literature from a unifying point of view, using resolutions of singularities. In the second part of the paper, I briefly sketch the work of Belkale, Brosnan resp. Bloch, Esnault and Kreimer on the motivic nature of Feynman integrals.Comment: 39

A family of q-Dyson style constant term identities

AbstractBy generalizing Gessel–Xin's Laurent series method for proving the Zeilberger–Bressoud q-Dyson Theorem, we establish a family of q-Dyson style constant term identities. These identities give explicit formulas for certain coefficients of the q-Dyson product, including three conjectures of Sills' as special cases and generalizing Stembridge's first layer formulas for characters of SL(n,C)
