Discrete Math Seminar: Bugs, colonies, and q-Boson normal ordering
- Date: 02/09/2010
Lecturer(s):
Adolfo RodrÃguez (UQAM)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Description:
In my work with Miguel Mendez, we provided a new
combinatorial model for the coefficients appearing in the normal
ordering of q-Boson words, by introducing combinatorial structures
called bugs, colonies and settlements. In this lecture I will show, in
a more general context, how this kind of structures can be used to
simplify proofs of combinatorial theorems involving q-analogs, and how
our combinatorial model and formulas for the coefficients appearing in
the q-Boson normal ordering problem arise as a direct application of
these techniques.
