Nonnegativity of the -polynomial of split matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Matthew H. Y. Xie

We prove that the -polynomial of every split matroid has nonnegative coefficients, establishing Speyer's conjecture for a class closed under taking minors and containing all pav…

Inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of fan matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Ya-Xing Li, Yun Li

The inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomial of a matroid was introduced by Gao and Xie, and the inverse -polynomial of a matroid was introduced by Ferroni, Matherne, Stevens, and Ve…

Equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Yun Li, Matthew H. Y. Xie

In this paper, we focus on the equivariant inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of thagomizer matroids, a natural family of graphic matroids associated with the complete tripartite…

Distribution of statistics on separable permutations restricted by a flat POP

Alice L. L. Gao, Sergey Kitaev, Ya-Xing Li +1

Finding distributions of statistics in pattern-avoiding permutations has attracted significant attention in the literature. In particular, Chen, Kitaev, and Zhang derived functiona…

The inverse -polynomial of a matroid

Alice L. L. Gao, Xuan Ruan, Matthew H. Y. Xie

Motivated by the -polynomials of matroids, Ferroni, Matherne, Stevens, and Vecchi introduced the inverse -polynomial of a matroid. In this paper, we prove several fundamental…

The combinatorics behind the leading Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients of braid matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Nicholas Proudfoot, Arthur L. B. Yang +1

Ferroni and Larson gave a combinatorial interpretation of the braid Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in terms of series-parallel matroids. As a consequence, they confirmed an explicit f…

Induced log-concavity of equivariant matroid invariants

Alice L. L. Gao, Ethan Y. H. Li, Matthew H. Y. Xie +2

Inspired by the notion of equivariant log-concavity, we introduce the concept of induced log-concavity for a sequence of representations of a finite group. For an equivariant matro…

The inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid

Alice L. L. Gao, Matthew H. Y. Xie

In analogy with the classical Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for Coxeter groups, Elias, Proudfoot and Wakefield introduced the concept of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for matroids. It…

On partially ordered patterns of length 4 and 5 in permutations

Alice L. L. Gao, Sergey Kitaev

Partially ordered patterns (POPs) generalize the notion of classical patterns studied widely in the literature in the context of permutations, words, compositions and partitions. I…

The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of uniform matroids

Alice L. L. Gao, Linyuan Lu, Matthew H. Y. Xie +2

The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid was introduced by Elias, Proudfoot, and Wakefield [{\it Adv. Math. 2016}]. Let denote the uniform matroid of rank on a set…

On a Greedy Algorithm to Construct Universal Cycles for Permutations

Alice L. L. Gao, Sergey Kitaev, Wolfgang Steiner +1

A universal cycle for permutations of length is a cyclic word or permutation, any factor of which is order-isomorphic to exactly one permutation of length , and containing a…

Schur positivity and log-concavity related to longest increasing subsequences

Alice L. L. Gao, Matthew H. Y. Xie, Arthur L. B. Yang

Chen proposed a conjecture on the log-concavity of the generating function for the symmetric group with respect to the length of longest increasing subsequences of permutations. Mo…

On pattern avoiding indecomposable permutations

Alice L. L. Gao, Sergey Kitaev, Philip B. Zhang

Comtet introduced the notion of indecomposable permutations in 1972. A permutation is indecomposable if and only if it has no proper prefix which is itself a permutation. Indecompo…
