Correspondence between conformal field theory and Calogero-Sutherland model

We use the Jack symmetric functions as a basis of the Fock space, and study the action of the Virasoro generators $L_n$. We calculate explicitly the matrix elements of $L_n$ with respect to the Jack-basis. A combinatorial procedure which produces these matrix elements is conjectured. As a limiting case of the formula, we obtain a Pieri-type formula which represents a product of a power sum and a Jack symmetric function as a sum of Jack symmetric functions. Also, a similar expansion was found for the case when we differentiate the Jack symmetric functions with respect to power sums. As an application of our Jack-basis representation, a new diagrammatic interpretation is presented, why the singular vectors of the Virasoro algebra are proportional to the Jack symmetric functions with rectangular diagrams. We also propose a natural normalization of the singular vectors in the Verma module, and determine the coefficients which appear after bosonization in front of the Jack symmetric functions.Comment: 23 pages, references adde

Jack vertex operators and realization of Jack functions

We give an iterative method to realize general Jack functions from Jack functions of rectangular shapes. We first show some cases of Stanley's conjecture on positivity of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, and then use this method to give a new realization of Jack functions. We also show in general that vectors of products of Jack vertex operators form a basis of symmetric functions. In particular this gives a new proof of linear independence for the rectangular and marked rectangular Jack vertex operators. Thirdly a generalized Frobenius formula for Jack functions was given and was used to give new evaluation of Dyson integrals and even powers of Vandermonde determinant.Comment: Expanded versio

Simulation of How Jack Pine Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Affects Economic Returns From Jack Pine Timber Production in Michigan

The impact of jack pine budworm on economic returns from jack pine timber production in Lower Michigan and management actions that might be taken to reduce this impact were evaluated with a simulation model. Results indicate that current jack pine rotation ages arc excessive and should be reduced. Insecticide application is not a viable strategy for reducing jack pine budworm impact

Rodrigues Formula for Hi-Jack Symmetric Polynomials Associated with the Quantum Calogero Model

The Hi-Jack symmetric polynomials, which are associated with the simultaneous eigenstates for the first and second conserved operators of the quantum Calogero model, are studied. Using the algebraic properties of the Dunkl operators for the model, we derive the Rodrigues formula for the Hi-Jack symmetric polynomials. Some properties of the Hi-Jack polynomials and the relationships with the Jack symmetric polynomials and with the basis given by the QISM approach are presented. The Hi-Jack symmetric polynomials are strong candidates for the orthogonal basis of the quantum Calogero model.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX file using jpsj.sty (ver. 0.8), cite.sty, subeqna.sty, subeqn.sty, jpsjbs1.sty and jpsjbs2.sty (all included.)

A recursion and a combinatorial formula for Jack polynomials

Heckman and Opdam introduced a non-symmetric analogue of Jack polynomials using Cherednik operators. In this paper, we derive a simple recursion formula for these polynomials and formulas relating the symmetric Jack polynomials with the non-symmetric ones. These formulas are then implemented by a closed expression of symmetric and non-symmetric Jack polynomials in terms of certain tableaux. The main application is a proof of a conjecture of Macdonald stating certain integrality and positivity properties of Jack polynomials.Comment: Preprint March 1996, to appear in Invent.

Pieri Integral Formula and Asymptotics of Jack Unitary Characters

We introduce Jack (unitary) characters and prove two kinds of formulas that are suitable for their asymptotics, as the lengths of the signatures that parametrize them go to infinity. The first kind includes several integral representations for Jack characters of one variable. The second identity we prove is the Pieri integral formula for Jack characters which, in a sense, is dual to the well known Pieri rule for Jack polynomials. The Pieri integral formula can also be seen as a functional equation for irreducible spherical functions of virtual Gelfand pairs. As an application of our formulas, we study the asymptotics of Jack characters as the corresponding signatures grow to infinity in the sense of Vershik-Kerov. We prove the existence of a small $\delta > 0$ such that the Jack characters of $m$ variables have a uniform limit on the $\delta$-neighborhood of the $m$-dimensional torus. Our result specializes to a theorem of Okounkov and Olshanski.Comment: 39 pages. v2: revised after the referee's comments. To appear in Selecta Mathematica, New Serie

Stein's Method, Jack Measure, and the Metropolis Algorithm

The one parameter family of Jack(alpha) measures on partitions is an important discrete analog of Dyson's beta ensembles of random matrix theory. Except for special values of alpha=1/2,1,2 which have group theoretic interpretations, the Jack(alpha) measure has been difficult if not intractable to analyze. This paper proves a central limit theorem (with an error term) for Jack(alpha) measure which works for arbitrary values of alpha. For alpha=1 we recover a known central limit theorem on the distribution of character ratios of random representations of the symmetric group on transpositions. The case alpha=2 gives a new central limit theorem for random spherical functions of a Gelfand pair. The proof uses Stein's method and has interesting ingredients: an intruiging construction of an exchangeable pair, properties of Jack polynomials, and work of Hanlon relating Jack polynomials to the Metropolis algorithm.Comment: very minor revisions; fix a few misprints and update bibliograph
