Special Case

International audience We give a combinatorial proof of the factorization formula of modified Macdonald polynomials $\widetilde{H}_{\lambda} (X;q,t)$ when $t$ is specialized at a primitive root of unity. Our proof is restricted to the special case where $\lambda$ is a two columns partition. We mainly use the combinatorial interpretation of Haiman, Haglund and Loehr giving the expansion of $\widetilde{H}_{\lambda} (X;q,t)$ on the monomial basis. Nous présentons une preuve combinatoire de la formule de factorisation des polynômes de Macdonald modifiés $\widetilde{H}_{\lambda} (X;q,t)$ quand $t$ est spécialisé à une racine primitive de l'unité. Notre preuve se restreint au cas particulier des partitions $\lambda$ n'ayant que deux colonnes. On utilise principalement l'interprétation combinatoire de Haglund, Haiman and Loehr donnant le développement de $\widetilde{H}_{\lambda} (X;q,t)$ sur la base des fonctions monomiales.

International audience We investigate the combinatorics of the symmetry relation H μ(x; q, t) = H μ∗ (x; t, q) on the transformed Macdonald polynomials, from the point of view of the combinatorial formula of Haglund, Haiman, and Loehr in terms of the inv and maj statistics on Young diagram fillings. By generalizing the Carlitz bijection on permutations, we provide a purely combinatorial proof of the relation in the case of Hall-Littlewood polynomials (q = 0) for the coefficients of the square-free monomials in the variables x. Our work in this case relates the Macdonald inv and maj statistics to the monomial basis of the modules Rμ studied by Garsia and Procesi. We also provide a new proof for the full Macdonald relation in the case when μ is a hook shape.

International audience Shapiro and Chekhov (2011) have introduced the notion of <i>generalised cluster algebra</i>; we focus on an example in type $C_n$. On the other hand, Chari and Pressley (1997), as well as Frenkel and Mukhin (2002), have studied the <i>restricted integral form</i> $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ of a quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ where $q=ε$ is a root of unity. Our main result states that the Grothendieck ring of a tensor subcategory $C_{ε^\mathbb{z}}$ of representations of $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is a generalised cluster algebra of type $C_{l−1}$, where $l$ is the order of $ε^2$. We also state a conjecture for $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_3)$, and sketch a proof for $l=2$. Shapiro et Chekhov (2011) ont introduit la notion d'<i>algèbre amassée généralisée</i>; nous étudions un exemple en type $C_n$. Par ailleurs, Chari et Pressley (1997), ainsi que Frenkel et Mukhin (2002), ont étudié la <i>forme entière restreinte</i> $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ d'une algèbre affine quantique $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ où $q=ε$ est une racine de l'unité. Notre résultat principal affirme que l'anneau de Grothendieck d'une sous-catégorie tensorielle $C_{ε^\mathbb{z}}$ de représentations de $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ est une algèbre amassée généralisée de type $C_{l−1}$, où $l$ est l'ordre de $ε^2$. Nous conjecturons une propriété similaire pour $U^{\mathtt{res}}_ε (L\mathfrak{sl}_3)$ et donnons un aperçu de la preuve pour $l=2$.

Special Case

International audience We enumerate derangements with descents in prescribed positions. A generating function was given by Guo-Niu Han and Guoce Xin in 2007. We give a combinatorial proof of this result, and derive several explicit formulas. To this end, we consider fixed point $\lambda$-coloured permutations, which are easily enumerated. Several formulae regarding these numbers are given, as well as a generalisation of Euler's difference tables. We also prove that except in a trivial special case, if a permutation $\pi$ is chosen uniformly among all permutations on $n$ elements, the events that $\pi$ has descents in a set $S$ of positions, and that $\pi$ is a derangement, are positively correlated.

International audience We prove that a $q$-deformation $\mathfrak{D}_k(\mathbb{X};q)$ of the powers of the discriminant is equal, up to a normalization, to a specialization of a Macdonald polynomial indexed by a staircase partition. We investigate the expansion of $\mathfrak{D}_k(\mathbb{X};q)$ on different bases of symmetric functions. In particular, we show that its expansion on the monomial basis can be explicitly described in terms of standard tableaux and we generalize a result of King-Toumazet-Wybourne about the expansion of the $q$-discriminant on the Schur basis. Nous montrons qu’une $q$-déformation $\mathfrak{D}_k(\mathbb{X};q)$ des puissances du discriminant est égale, à un coefficient de normalisation près, à un polynôme de Macdonald indexé par une partition escalier pour une certaine spécialisation des paramètres. Nous examinons les développements de $\mathfrak{D}_k(\mathbb{X};q)$ dans différentes bases de fonctions symétriques. En particulier, nous montrons que son écriture dans la base des fonctions monomiales peut être explicitement décrite en terme de tableaux standard et nous généralisons un résultat de King-Toumazet-Wybourne sur le développement du $q$-discriminant dans la base de Schur.

International audience We investigate the homogeneous symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,t)$ for the specialization $t=q^k$. We show an identity relying the polynomials $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$ and $P_{\lambda} (\frac{1-q}{1-q^k}\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$. As a consequence, we describe an operator whose eigenvalues characterize the polynomials $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$. Nous nous intéressons aux propriétés des polynômes de Macdonald symétriques $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,t)$ pour la spécialisation $t=q^k$. En particulier nous montrons une égalité reliant les polynômes $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$ et $P_{\lambda} (\frac{1-q}{1-q^k}\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$. Nous en déduisons la description d'un opérateur dont les valeurs propres caractérisent les polynômes $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$.

International audience We give explicit formulas for the number $U_n(N)$ of closed polygonal paths of length $N$ (starting from the origin) whose steps are $n^{\textrm{th}}$ roots of unity, as well as asymptotic expressions for these numbers when $N \rightarrow \infty$. We also prove that the sequences $(U_n(N))_{N \geq 0}$ are $P$-recursive for each fixed $n \geq 1$ and leave open the problem of determining the values of $N$ for which the $\textit{dual}$ sequences $(U_n(N))_{n \geq 1}$ are $P$-recursive. Nous donnons des formules explicites pour le nombre $U_n(N)$ de chemins polygonaux fermés de longueur $N$ (débutant à l'origine) dont les pas sont des racines $n$-ièmes de l'unité, ainsi que des expressions asymptotiques pour ces nombres lorsque $N \rightarrow \infty$. Nous démontrons aussi que les suites $(U_n(N))_{N \geq 0}$ sont $P$-récursives pour chaque $n \geq 1$ fixé et laissons ouvert le problème de déterminer les valeurs de $N$ pour lesquelles les suites $\textit{duales}$ $(U_n(N))_{n \geq 1}$ sont $P$-récursives.

Quantum Complexity

We analyze relationships between quantum computation and a family of generalizations of the Jones polynomial. Extending recent work by Aharonov et al., we give efficient quantum circuits for implementing the unitary Jones-Wenzl representations of the braid group. We use these to provide new quantum algorithms for approximately evaluating a family of specializations of the HOMFLYPT two-variable polynomial of trace closures of braids. We also give algorithms for approximating the Jones polynomial of a general class of closures of braids at roots of unity. Next we provide a self-contained proof of a result of Freedman et al.\ that any quantum computation can be replaced by an additive approximation of the Jones polynomial, evaluated at almost any primitive root of unity. Our proof encodes two-qubit unitaries into the rectangular representation of the eight-strand braid group. We then give QCMA-complete and PSPACE-complete problems which are based on braids. We conclude with direct proofs that evaluating the Jones polynomial of the plat closure at most primitive roots of unity is a \#P-hard problem, while learning its most significant bit is PP-hard, circumventing the usual route through the Tutte polynomial and graph coloring.

Littlewood Polynomials

Using the combinatorial formula for the transformed Macdonald polynomials of Haglund, Haiman, and Loehr, we investigate the combinatorics of the symmetry relation $\widetilde{H}_\mu(\mathbf{x};q,t)=\widetilde{H}_{\mu^\ast}(\mathbf{x};t,q)$. We provide a purely combinatorial proof of the relation in the case of Hall-Littlewood polynomials ($q=0$) when $\mu$ is a partition with at most three rows, and for the coefficients of the square-free monomials in $\mathbf{x}$ for all shapes $\mu$. We also provide a proof for the full relation in the case when $\mu$ is a hook shape, and for all shapes at the specialization $t=1$. Our work in the Hall-Littlewood case reveals a new recursive structure for the cocharge statistic on words.

AbstractWe consider arrow diagrams of links in $$S^3$$ S 3 and define k-moves on such diagrams, for any $$k\in \mathbb {N}$$ k ∈ N . We study the equivalence classes of links in $$S^3$$ S 3 up to k-moves. For $$k=2$$ k = 2 , we show that any two knots are equivalent, whereas it is not true for links. We show that the Jones polynomial at a k-th primitive root of unity is unchanged by a k-move, when k is odd. It is multiplied by $$-1$$ - 1 , when k is even. It follows that, for any $$k\ge 5$$ k ≥ 5 , there are infinitely many classes of knots modulo k-moves. We use these results to study the Hopf crossing number. In particular, we show that it is unbounded for some families of knots. We also interpret k-moves as some identifications between links in different lens spaces $$L_{p,1}$$ L p , 1 .
