Pfaffian and Hafnian Identities in Shuffle Algebras

چکیده
Chen’s lemma on iterated integrals implies that certain identities involving multiple integrals, such as the de Bruijn and Wick formulas, amount to combinatorial identities for Pfaffians and hafnians in shuffle algebras. We provide direct algebraic proofs of such shuffle identities, and obtain various generalizations. We also discuss some Pfaffian identities due to Sundquist and Ishikawa-Wakayama, and a Cauchy formula for anticommutative symmetric functions. Finally, we extend some of the previous considerations to hyperpfaffians and hyperhafnians.

A Pfaffian-Hafnian Analogue of Borchardt's Identity
We prove Pf ( xi − xj (xi + xj) ) 1≤i,j≤2n = ∏ 1≤i<j≤2n xi − xj xi + xj · Hf ( 1 xi + xj ) 1≤i,j≤2n (and its variants) by using complex analysis. This identity can be regarded as a Pfaffian–Hafnian analogue of Borchardt’s identity and as a generalization of Schur’s identity.
متن کاملThe Hafnian and a Commutative Analogue of the Grassmann Algebra
A close relationship between the determinant, the pfaffian, and the Grassmann algebra is well-known. In this paper, a similar relation between the permanent, the hafnian, and a commutative analogue of the Grassmann algebra is described. Using the latter, some new properties of the hafnian are proved.
متن کاملPfaffians, Hafnians and Products of Real Linear Functionals
We prove pfaffian and hafnian versions of Lieb’s inequalities on determinants and permanents of positive semi-definite matrices. We use the hafnian inequality to improve the lower bound of Révész and Sarantopoulos on the norm of a product of linear functionals on a real Euclidean space (this subject is sometimes called the ‘real linear polarization constant’ problem). -
متن کاملFour Symmetry Classes of Plane Partitions under One Roof
In previous paper, the author applied the permanent-determinant method of Kasteleyn and its non-bipartite generalization, the Hafnian-Pfaffian method, to obtain a determinant or a Pfaffian that enumerates each of the ten symmetry classes of plane partitions. After a cosmetic generalization of the Kasteleyn method, we identify the matrices in the four determinantal cases (plain plane partitions,...
