The Borwein conjecture and partitions with prescribed hook differences

نویسنده

  • David M. Bressoud
چکیده

Peter Borwein has conjectured that certain polynomials have non-negative coefficients. In this paper we look at some generalizations of this conjecture and observe how they relate to the study of generating functions for partitions with prescribed hook differences. A combinatorial proof of the generating function for partitions with prescribed hook differences is given.

Proof of a conjecture of Okada

We prove an equation conjectured by Okada regarding hook-lengths of partitions, namely that 1 n! ∑ λ⊢n f λ ∑ u∈λ r ∏ i=1 (hu − i) = 1 2(r + 1)2 ( 2r r )( 2r + 2 r + 1 ) r ∏ j=0 (n− j), where fλ is the number of standard Young tableaux of shape λ and hu is the hook length of the square u of λ. We also obtain other similar formulas.

Giuga's Conjecture on Primality

k=l Fermat's little theorem says that if p is a prime, then kP-l 3 lmodp for k = 1,.. .,p-1. Therefore, for each prime p, Sp--lmodp. The question becomes: Does there xist a non-prime n such that Sn 3 1 mod n? This question has resisted solution for more than forty years. After surveying what is known about the conjecture, we will give several new results here which might suggest directions of f...

Garsia-Haiman modules for hook partitions and Green polynomials with two variables

The Garsia-Haiman modules are doubly graded modules for the symmetric groups, introduced by A. Garsia and M. Haiman [GH] to prove Macdonald’s positivity conjecture [M1]. These modules are defined for partitions of positive integers n, denoted by Dμ. The dimension of Dμ is given by n! whenever μ is a partition of n [H2]. As this fact implies, the Garsia-Haiman modules Dμ are isomorphic to the co...
