Generating functions for generating trees
Certain families of combinatorial objects admit recursive descriptions in
terms of generating trees: each node of the tree corresponds to an object, and
the branch leading to the node encodes the choices made in the construction of
the object. Generating trees lead to a fast computation of enumeration
sequences (sometimes, to explicit formulae as well) and provide efficient
random generation algorithms. We investigate the links between the structural
properties of the rewriting rules defining such trees and the rationality,
algebraicity, or transcendence of the corresponding generating function.Comment: This article corresponds, up to minor typo corrections, to the
article submitted to Discrete Mathematics (Elsevier) in Nov. 1999, and

Baryonic Generating Functions
We show how it is possible to use the plethystic program in order to compute
baryonic generating functions that count BPS operators in the chiral ring of
quiver gauge theories living on the world volume of D branes probing a non
compact CY manifold. Special attention is given to the conifold theory and the
orbifold C^2/Z_2 times C, where exact expressions for generating functions are
given in detail. This paper solves a long standing problem for the
combinatorics of quiver gauge theories with baryonic moduli spaces. It opens
the way to a statistical analysis of quiver theories on baryonic branches.
Surprisingly, the baryonic charge turns out to be the quantized Kahler modulus
of the geometry.Comment: 44 pages, 7 figures; fonts change
Symplectic Microgeometry II: Generating functions
We adapt the notion of generating functions for lagrangian submanifolds to
symplectic microgeometry. We show that a symplectic micromorphism always admits
a global generating function. As an application, we describe hamiltonian flows
as special symplectic micromorphisms whose local generating functions are the
solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We obtain a purely categorical
formulation of the temporal evolution in classical mechanics.Comment: 27 pages, 1 figur
Mixed powers of generating functions
Given an integer m>=1, let || || be a norm in R^{m+1} and let S denote the
set of points with nonnegative coordinates in the unit sphere with respect to
this norm. Consider for each 1<= j<= m a function f_j(z) that is analytic in an
open neighborhood of the point z=0 in the complex plane and with possibly
negative Taylor coefficients. Given a vector n=(n_0,...,n_m) with nonnegative
integer coefficients, we develop a method to systematically associate a
parameter-varying integral to study the asymptotic behavior of the coefficient
of z^{n_0} of the Taylor series of (f_1(z))^{n_1}...(f_m(z))^{n_m}, as ||n||
tends to infinity. The associated parameter-varying integral has a phase term
with well specified properties that make the asymptotic analysis of the
integral amenable to saddle-point methods: for many directions d in S, these
methods ensure uniform asymptotic expansions for the Taylor coefficient of
z^{n_0} of (f_1(z))^{n_1}...(f_m(z))^{n_m}, provided that n/||n|| stays
sufficiently close to d as ||n|| blows up to infinity. Our method finds
applications in studying the asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of a
certain multivariable generating functions as well as in problems related to
the Lagrange inversion formula for instance in the context random planar maps.Comment: 14 page
