Prehomogeneous vector spaces and ergodic theory III
Let H_1=SL(5), H_2=SL(3), H=H_1 \times H_2. It is known that (G,V) is a
prehomogeneous vector space (see [22], [26], [25], for the definition of
prehomogeneous vector spaces). A non-constant polynomial \delta(x) on V is
called a relative invariant polynomial if there exists a character \chi such
that \delta(gx)=\chi(g)\delta(x). Such \delta(x) exists for our case and is
essentially unique. So we define V^{ss}={x in V such that \delta(x) is not
equal to 0}. For x in V_R^{ss}, let H_{x R+}^0 be the connected component of 1
in classical topology of the stabilizer H_{x R}. We will prove that if x in
V_R^ss is "sufficiently irrational", H_{x R+}^0 H_Z is dense in H_R
Permutation polynomials and systems of permutation polynomials in several variables over finite rings
This paper will present the historical development of theorems regarding permutation polynomials in several variables over finite fields. Single variable permutation polynomials will be discussed since they are so important to the discussions which will follow. Theorems involving permutation polynomials and systems of permutation polynomials will also be considered. It will be shown that many of the interesting results obtained for finite fields can be generalized to finite rings
A constant term identity featuring the ubiquitous (and mysterious) Andrews-Mills-Robbins-Rumsey numbers 1, 2, 7, 42, 429, …
AbstractAndrews's recent proof of the Mills-Robbins-Rumsey conjectured formula for the number of totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions is used to derive a new multi-variate constant term identity, reminiscent of, but not implied by, Macdonald's BCn-Dyson identity. The method of proof consists in translating to the language of constant terms an expression of Doran for the desired number in terms of sums of minors of a certain matrix. The question of a direct proof of the identity, which would furnish an alternative proof of the Mills-Robbins-Rumsey conjecture, is raised, and a prize is offered for its solution
Prehomogeneous vector spaces and field extensions III
In this paper, we determine the rational orbit decomposition for two
prehomogeneous vector spaces associated with the simple group of type G_2
