چکیده

0. Introduction. Capelli’s [C] identity plays a prominent role in Weyl’s [W] approach to Classical Invariant Theory. Capelli’s identity was recently considered by Howe [H] and Howe and Umeda [H-U]. Howe [H] gave an insightful representation-theoretic proof of Capelli’s identity, and a similar approach was used in [H-U] to prove Turnbull’s [T] symmetric analog, as well as a new anti-symmetric analog, that was discovered independently by Kostant and Sahi [K-S]. The Capelli, Turnbulll, and HoweUmeda-Kostant-Sahi identities immediately imply, and were inspired by, identities of Cayley (see [T1]), Garding [G], and Shimura [S], respectively. In this paper, we give short combinatorial proofs of Capelli’s and Turnbull’s identities, and raise the hope that someone else will use our approach to prove the new Howe-Umeda-Kostant-Sahi identity.

Combinatorial Proofs of q-Series Identities

We provide combinatorial proofs of six of the ten q-series identities listed in [3, Theorem 3]. Andrews, Jiménez-Urroz and Ono prove these identities using formal manipulation of identities arising in the theory of basic hypergeometric series. Our proofs are purely combinatorial, based on interpreting both sides of the identities as generating functions for certain partitions. One of these iden...

Noncommutative determinants, Cauchy-Binet formulae, and Capelli-type identities I. Generalizations of the Capelli and Turnbull identities

We prove, by simple manipulation of commutators, two noncommutative generalizations of the Cauchy–Binet formula for the determinant of a product. As special cases we obtain elementary proofs of the Capelli identity from classical invariant theory and of Turnbull’s Capelli-type identities for symmetric and antisymmetric matrices.

Combinatorial and Automated Proofs of Certain Identities

This paper focuses on two binomial identities. The proofs illustrate the power and elegance in enumerative/algebraic combinatorial arguments, modern machineassisted techniques of Wilf-Zeilberger and the classical tools of generatingfunctionology.
