On the evaluation of some Selberg-like integrals

Abstract

Several methods of evaluation are presented for a family of Selberg-like integrals that arose in the computation of the algebraic-geometric degrees of a family of multiplicity-free nilpotent K_C-orbits. First, adapting the technique of Nishiyama, Ochiai and Zhu, we present an explicit evaluation in terms of certain iterated sums over permutations groups. Secondly, using the theory of symmetric functions we obtain an evaluation as a product of polynomial of fixed degree times a particular product of gamma factors (thereby identifying the asymptotics of the integrals with respect to their parameters). Lastly, we derive a recursive formula for evaluation of another general class of Selberg-like integrals, by applying some of the technology of generalized hypergeometric functions.

Minuscule Relations in Quantum $K$-Theory of Flag Varieties

We study the quantum $K$-theory of the flag variety $G/B$. For each minuscule fundamental weight $\varpi$, we construct an explicit relation in the torus-equivariant quantum $K$-theory $QK_T(G/B)$. The relation can be regarded as a quantum deformation of the character of the irreducible representation with highest weight $\varpi$.

A Gelfand model for the Okada algebra

In this paper, we construct a Gelfand model for the Okada algebra $O_n(X,Y)$ with generic parameters $X$ and $Y$, on the space of symmetric Okada arc diagrams using a conjugation-type action. The model is constructed inductively by identifying the Okada algebra as a diagram algebra and using the Jones basic construction to obtain a tower of algebras that are themselves Okada algebras at lower levels. We use the model to obtain all the irreducible representations of $O_n(X,Y)$, indexed by the elements of rank $n$ of the Young--Fibonacci lattice, and identify them with the cell modules of $O_n(X,Y)$.

Categorical Lie-Rinehart modules and Shen-Larsson functors

We develop a categorical framework for Lie-Rinehart monoids and their weak modules in a symmetric monoidal category. Using crossed homomorphisms, we construct a natural action of the monoidal category of modules over a Lie monoid on the category of weak Lie-Rinehart modules, thereby obtaining categorical versions of the Shen-Larsson functors. We further characterize the conditions under which the category of weak modules admits a monoidal structure and identify the corresponding condition for the associated functors to be strict monoidal. A dual theory for Lie- Rinehart comonoids and weak comodules is developed using cocrossed homomorphisms. Combining the module and comodule constructions, we obtain a bimodule category structure on the category of weak modules. Finally, we specialize the general framework to the symmetric monoidal category of super vector spaces, recovering Lie-Rinehart superalgebras and their associated Shen-Larsson-type constructions.
