Correlation inequalities for Schur positivity
Swee Hong Chan, Hong Chen, Igor Pak +1
We generalize the Ahlswede--Daykin inequality (1978) to a Schur positive \emph{ADS inequality}, which also contains the Lam--Postnikov--Pylyavskyy inequality (2007) as a special ca…
A Characterization of the Macdonald Hypergeometric Series and via -Difference Equations
Hong Chen
In two widely circulated manuscripts from the 1980s, I. G. Macdonald introduced certain multivariate hypergeometric series and and their -analogs…
A Characterization of Macdonald's Jack Hypergeometric Series and via Differential Equations
Hong Chen, Siddhartha Sahi
In a widely circulated manuscript from the 1980s, now available on the arXiv, I.~G.~Macdonald introduced certain multivariable hypergeometric series and…
Majorization via positivity of Jack and Macdonald polynomial differences
Hong Chen, Apoorva Khare, Siddhartha Sahi
Majorization inequalities have a long history, going back to Maclaurin and Newton. They were recently studied for several families of symmetric functions, including by Cuttler--Gre…
Monotonicity for generalized binomial coefficients and Jack positivity
Hong Chen, Siddhartha Sahi
Binomial formulas for Schur polynomials and Jack polynomials were studied by Lascoux in 1978, and Kaneko, Okounkov--Olshanski and Lassalle in the 1990s. We prove that the associate…
Interpolation Polynomials, Binomial Coefficients, and Symmetric Function Inequalities
Hong Chen, Siddhartha Sahi
Interpolation polynomials were introduced by Knop--Sahi in type , and Okounkov in type . They are inhomogeneous polynomials whose top terms are Jack and Macdonald polynomial…
