Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{X}_k\subseteq{\sf Mat}_{m, n}$ denote the variety of $m\times n$ complex matrices with rank at most $k$. The power series and rational expressions for the Hilbert series of $\mathfrak{X}_k$ are known by geometric arguments, and equating these expressions yields a family of formulas generalizing the classical Cauchy and dual Cauchy identities. We pose the problem of giving a direct combinatorial proof of these formulas for $0<k<\min\{m, n\}$. When $k=1$ or $k=\min\{m, n\}-1$, we give such a proof via an explicit sign-reversing involution on certain sets of Littlewood--Richardson tableaux.

Canonical traces of Artinian truncations of Stanley-Reisner rings

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$ and integers $n_i\ge 2$, set $A_{\Delta,\mathbf n}=\mathbb{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_m]/(I_\Delta+(x_1^{n_1},\ldots,x_m^{n_m}))$. We give an exact combinatorial formula for the canonical trace for arbitrary truncation exponents and for an arbitrary simplicial complex after deleting irrelevant gh...

On the integral algebraic K-theory of Morava K-theory

We compute the cardinalities of the integral algebraic K-theory groups of connective Morava K-theory $k(n)$ in all degrees that are not congruent to $0$ or $1$ modulo $2p-2$. After base-changing the coefficients of $k(n)$ to the algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$, we determine the corresponding cardinalities i...

Asymptotics of Hecke polynomial coefficients on the Atkin-Lehner eigenspaces

Let $S_k^\sigma(N)$ denote the space of cusp forms of level $N$, weight $k$, and Atkin-Lehner sign pattern $\sigma$, and $S_k^{\mathrm{new},\sigma}$ denote its new subspace. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of the $m$-th Hecke polynomial over $S_k^\sigma(N)$ and $S_k^{\mathrm{new},\si...

On the automorphisms of numerical power monoids

Let $H$ be a numerical monoid, that is, a cofinite submonoid of $\mathbb N$ (the non-negative integers under addition). Denote by $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},0}(H)$ the monoid obtained by endowing the family of all finite subsets of $H$ containing $0$ with the operation of setwise addition induced by $H$ on its power set....

Elliptic matroids and modular curves

For $n\geq 4$, let $T_n$ be the rank-3 matroid on $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose bases are the three-element non-zero-sum subsets. Let $X_1(n)^\circ$ denote the open subscheme of the modular curve $X_1(n)$ obtained by removing the cusps corresponding to reducible N\'eron polygons. For $n \geq 10$, we give a purely alge...

Generalized Fermat equation over number fields

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, and let $A,B,C \in \mathcal{O}_K \setminus\{0\}$. Denote by $S_K'$ the set of prime ideals of $\mathcal{O}_K$ dividing $2ABC$. Assuming two standard conjectures concerning the modularity of mod-$p$ Galois representations and the Eichler-Shimura correspond...
