Updates on open research

Posted on 2018-04-29

It has been 9 months since I last wrote about open (maths) research. Since then two things happened which prompted me to write an update.

In this essay I describe some problems in academia of mathematics and propose an open source model, which I call open research in mathematics.

A \(q\)-Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm and a \(q\)-polymer

Posted on 2016-10-13

(Latest update: 2017-01-12) In Matveev-Petrov 2016 a \(q\)-deformed Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm (\(q\)RSK) was introduced. In this article we give reformulations of this algorithm in terms of Noumi-Yamada description, growth diagrams and local moves. We show that the algorithm is symmetric, namely the output tableaux pair are swapped in a sense of distribution when the input matrix is transposed. We also formulate a \(q\)-polymer model based on the \(q\)RSK and prove the corresponding Burke property, which we use to show a strong law of large numbers for the partition function given stationary boundary conditions and \(q\)-geometric weights. We use the \(q\)-local moves to define a generalisation of the \(q\)RSK taking a Young diagram-shape of array as the input. We write down the joint distribution of partition functions in the space-like direction of the \(q\)-polymer in \(q\)-geometric environment, formulate a \(q\)-version of the multilayer polynuclear growth model (\(q\)PNG) and write down the joint distribution of the \(q\)-polymer partition functions at a fixed time.

AMS review of 'Double Macdonald polynomials as the stable limit of Macdonald superpolynomials' by Blondeau-Fournier, Lapointe and Mathieu

Posted on 2015-07-15

A Macdonald superpolynomial (introduced in [O. Blondeau-Fournier et al., Lett. Math. Phys. 101 (2012), no. 1, 27–47; MR2935476; J. Comb. 3 (2012), no. 3, 495–561; MR3029444]) in \(N\) Grassmannian variables indexed by a superpartition \(\Lambda\) is said to be stable if \({m (m + 1) \over 2} \ge |\Lambda|\) and \(N \ge |\Lambda| - {m (m - 3) \over 2}\) , where \(m\) is the fermionic degree. A stable Macdonald superpolynomial (corresponding to a bisymmetric polynomial) is also called a double Macdonald polynomial (dMp). The main result of this paper is the factorisation of a dMp into plethysms of two classical Macdonald polynomials (Theorem 5). Based on this result, this paper
