A Conjecture about Raising Operators for Macdonald Polynomials

A multivariable hypergeometric-type formula for raising operators of the Macdonald polynomials is conjectured. It is proved that this agrees with Jing and Jozefiak's expression for the two-row Macdonald polynomials, and also with Lassalle and Schlosser's formula for partitions with length three.Comment: 13 page

A Lindenstrauss theorem for some classes of multilinear mappings

Under some natural hypotheses, we show that if a multilinear mapping belongs to some Banach multlinear ideal, then it can be approximated by multilinear mappings belonging to the same ideal whose Arens extensions simultaneously attain their norms. We also consider the class of symmetric multilinear mappings.Comment: 11 page

Recurrence formulas for Macdonald polynomials of type A

We consider products of two Macdonald polynomials of type A, indexed by dominant weights which are respectively a multiple of the first fundamental weight and a weight having zero component on the k-th fundamental weight. We give the explicit decomposition of any Macdonald polynomial of type A in terms of this basis.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, revised version, to appear in Journal of Algebraic Combinatoric

Some Properties of the Calogero-Sutherland Model with Reflections

We prove that the Calogero-Sutherland Model with reflections (the BC_N model) possesses a property of duality relating the eigenfunctions of two Hamiltonians with different coupling constants. We obtain a generating function for their polynomial eigenfunctions, the generalized Jacobi polynomials. The symmetry of the wave-functions for certain particular cases (associated to the root systems of the classical Lie groups B_N, C_N and D_N) is also discussed.Comment: 16 pages, harvmac.te

Ideal structures in vector-valued polynomial spaces

This paper is concerned with the study of geometric structures in spaces of polynomials. More precisely, we discuss for E and F Banach spaces, whether the class of n-homogeneous polynomials, 'P-w((n) E, F), which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an HB-subspace or an M(1, C)-ideal in the space of continuous n-homogeneous polynomials, P((n) E, F). We establish sufficient conditions under which the problem can be positively solved. Some examples are given. We also study when some ideal structures pass from P-w((n) E, F) as an ideal in P((n) E, F) to the range space F as an ideal in its bidual F**

On Poincare and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for a class of singular Gibbs measures

This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{\'e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular pair interaction. The functional inequalities come from convexity. We prove and characterize optimality in the case of quadratic confinement via a factorization of the measure. This optimality phenomenon holds for all beta Hermite ensembles including the Gaussian unitary ensemble, a famous exactly solvable model of random matrix theory. We further explore exact solvability by reviewing the relation to Dyson-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion dynamics admitting the Hermite-Lassalle orthogonal polynomials as a complete set of eigenfunctions. We also discuss the consequence of the log-Sobolev inequality in terms of concentration of measure for Lipschitz functions such as maxima and linear statistics.Comment: Minor improvements.

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
