We obtain a combinatorial formula related to the shear transformation for semi-invariants of binary forms, which implies the classical characterization of semi-invariants in terms of a differential operator. Then, we present a combinatorial proof of an identity of Hilbert, which leads to a relation of Cayley on semi-invariants. This identity plays a crucial role in the original proof of Sylvesters theorem on semi-invariants in connection with the Gaussian coefficients. Moreover, we show that the additivity lemma of Pak and Panova which yields the strict unimodality of the Gaussian coefficients for $n,k geq 8$ can be deduced from the ring property of semi-invariants.
The symmetric difference of the $q$-binomial coefficients $F_{n,k}(q)={n+kbrack k}-q^{n}{n+k-2brack k-2}$ was introduced by Reiner and Stanton. They proved that $F_{n,k}(q)$ is symmetric and unimodal for $k geq 2$ and $n$ even by using the representa
This work lies across three areas (in the title) of investigation that are by themselves of independent interest. A problem that arose in quantum computing led us to a link that tied these areas together. This link consists of a single formal power s
The symmetric group acts on polynomial differential forms on $mathbb{R}^{n}$ through its action by permuting the coordinates. In this paper the $S_{n}% $-invariants are shown to be freely generated by the elementary symmetric polynomials and their ex
Let $lambda$ be a (level-zero) dominant integral weight for an untwisted affine Lie algebra, and let $mathrm{QLS}(lambda)$ denote the quantum Lakshmibai-Seshadri (QLS) paths of shape $lambda$. For an element $w$ of a finite Weyl group $W$, the specia
For a given sequence $mathbf{alpha} = [alpha_1,alpha_2,dots,alpha_{N+1}]$ of $N+1$ positive integers, we consider the combinatorial function $E(mathbf{alpha})(t)$ that counts the nonnegative integer solutions of the equation $alpha_1x_1+alpha_2 x_2+c
