Dimension identities, almost self-conjugate partitions, and BGG complexes for Hermitian symmetric pairs
William Q. Erickson, Markus Hunziker
An almost self-conjugate (ASC) partition has a Young diagram in which each arm along the diagonal is exactly one box longer than its corresponding leg. Classically, the ASC partiti…

Homometric subsets of with cardinality 5: classification and enumeration
William Q. Erickson, Nicholas B. Jones
Two subsets of are said to be homometric if they have the same multiset of pairwise cyclic (i.e., Lee) distances. Homometric subsets necessarily have the same cardin…
