[Colloquium] Jang Soo Kim, Combinatorics of orthogonal polynomials

Combinatorics of orthogonal polynomials

Orthogonal polynomials are a family of polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to certain inner product. The n-th moment of orthogonal polynomials is an important quantity, which is given as an integral. In 1983 Viennot found a combinatorial expression for moments using lattice paths. In this talk we will compute the moments of several important orthogonal polynomials using Viennot’s theory. We will also see their connections with continued fractions, matchings, set partitions, and permutations.

Jang Soo Kim (김장수), Combinatorics of continued fractions and its application to Jacobi’s triple product identity

Combinatorics of continued fractions and its application to Jacobi’s triple product identity
Jang Soo Kim
KIAS
2013/09/25 Wed 4PM-5PM
ROOM 1409
In this talk we will see a combinatorial way to expand certain continued fractions using lattice paths called Motzkin paths. This method allows us to prove a formula for q-secant numbers. I will explain that this approach can be used to find a finite version of Jacobi’s triple product identity. This talk is based on my paper with Matthieu Josuat-Vergès: “Touchard-Riordan formulas, T-fractions, and Jacobi’s triple product identity”, The Ramanujan Journal, Volume 30, Issue 3, pp 341-378.

Jang Soo Kim (김장수), Proofs of Two Conjectures of Kenyon and Wilson on Dyck Tilings

Proofs of Two Conjectures of Kenyon and Wilson on Dyck Tilings

Recently, Kenyon and Wilson introduced a certain matrix M in order to compute pairing probabilities of what they call the double-dimer model. They showed that the absolute value of each entry of the inverse matrix M-1 is equal to the number of certain Dyck tilings of a skew shape. They conjectured two formulas on the sum of the absolute values of the entries in a row or a column of M-1. In this talk we prove the two conjectures. As a consequence we obtain that the sum of the absolute values of all entries of M-1 is equal to the number of complete matchings. We also find a bijection between Dyck tilings and complete matchings.
This talk is based on the following paper: arxiv:1108.5558.

Jang Soo Kim (김장수), Combinatorics on permutation tableaux

Combinatorics on permutation tableaux

A permutation tableau is a relatively new combinatorial object introduced by Postnikov in his study of totally nonnegative Grassmanian. As one can guess from its name, permutation tableaux are in bijection with permutations. Surprisingly, there is also a connection between permutation tableaux and a statistical physics model called PASEP (partially asymmetric exclusion process). In this talk, we study some combinatorial properties of permutation tableaux. One of our result is a sign-imbalace formula for permutation tableaux which is very similar to the sign-imbalace formula for standard Young tableaux conjectured by Stanley.
