Let A be a connected integer symmetric matrix, i.e., A = (aij) ∈ Mn(Z) for some n, A = AT , and the underlying graph (vertices corresponding to rows, with vertex i joined to vertex j if aij 6= 0) is connected. We show that if all the eigenvalues of A are strictly positive, then tr(A) ≥ 2n− 1. There are two striking corollaries. First, the analogue of the Schur-SiegelSmyth trace problem is solve...

We know from Littlewood (1968) that the moments of order 4 of the classical Rudin–Shapiro polynomials Pn(z) satisfy a linear recurrence of degree 2. In a previous article, we developed a new approach, which enables us to compute exactly all the moments Mq(Pn) of even order q for q 32. We were also able to check a conjecture on the asymptotic behavior of Mq(Pn), namely Mq(Pn) ∼ Cq2, where Cq = 2...

Recursive algebraic construction of two infinite families of polynomials in n variables is proposed as a uniform method applicable to every semisimple Lie group of rank n. Its result recognizes Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind as the special case of the simple group of type A1. The obtained not Laurent-type polynomials are equivalent to the partial cases of theMacdonald symmet...

The Schrödinger operators with exchange terms for certain Calogero-Sutherland quantum many body systems have eigenfunctions which factor into the symmetric ground state and a multivariable polynomial. The polynomial can be chosen to have a prescribed symmetry (i.e. be symmetric or antisymmetric) with respect to the interchange of some specified variables. For four particular Calogero-Sutherland...

Under mild conditions on n, p, we give a lower bound on the number of n-variable balanced symmetric polynomials over finite fields GF (p), where p is a prime number. The existence of nonlinear balanced symmetric polynomials is an immediate corollary of this bound. Furthermore, we conjecture that X(2, 2t+1l− 1) are the only nonlinear balanced elementary symmetric polynomials over GF (2), where X...

We examine two isomorphisms between affine Hecke algebras of type A associated with parameters q−1, t−1 and q, t. One of them maps the non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials Eη(x; q−1, t−1) onto Eη(x; q, t), while the other maps them onto non-symmetric analogues of the multivariable Al-Salam & Carlitz polynomials. Using the properties of Eη(x; q−1, t−1), the corresponding properties of these latte...

We use Turán type inequalities to give new non-asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials in terms of the coefficients of their three term recurrence. Most of our results deal with symmetric polynomials satisfying the three term recurrence pk+1 = xpk − ckpk−1, with a nondecreasing sequence {ck}. As a special case they include a non-asymptotic version of Máté, Nevai and Tot...

Given a symmetric Sobolev inner product of order N , the corresponding sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials {Qn} satisfies that Q2n(x) = Pn(x), Q2n+1(x) = xRn(x) for certain sequences of monic polynomials {Pn} and {Rn}. In this paper, we deduce the integral representation of the inner products such that {Pn} and {Rn} are the corresponding sequences of orthogonal polynomials. Moreover, we st...
