In this setting our polynomials form a basis ${lbrace P_n (x) rbrace}_{n geq 0}$ with $P_n (x)$ monic of degree $n$. This given, we are forced to set $P_n (x) = F_{n+1} (x)$. The heaps setting extends the Flajolet view$href{https://doi.org/10.1016/0012-365X(80)90050-3}{[4]}$ of the classical theory of orthogonal polynomials given by a three term recursion [3, 10]. Thus with heaps most of the identities for the polynomials $P_n (x)$’s can be derived by combinatorial arguments. Using the present setting we derive a variety of new identities. We must mention that the theory of heaps is presented here without restrictions. This is much more than needed to deal with the Fibonacci polynomials. We do this to convey a flavor of the power of heaps. In $href{https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-58373-6 }{[5]}$ there is a chapter dedicated to heaps where most of its contents are dedicated to applications of the theory.

Let $d_n (V)$ be the number of indecomposable summands of $V^{oplus n}$ of nonzero dimension $mod p$. It is easy to see that there exists a limit $delta (V) := lim_{n to infty} d_n(V)^{1/n}$, which is positive (and $geq 1$) $operatorname{iff}$ $V$ has an indecomposable summand of nonzero dimension $mod p$. We show that in this case the number[c(V ) := underset{n to infty}{lim inf} frac{d_n(V)}{delta(V)^n}$ in [0, 1]]is strictly positive and[log(c(V)^{-1}) = O(delta(V)^2),]and moreover this holds for any symmetric tensor category over $k$of moderate growth. Furthermore, we conjecture that in fact[log(c(V)^{-1}) = O(delta(V))](which would be sharp), and prove this for $p = 2, 3$; in particular, for $p = 2$ we show that $c(V) geq 3^{frac{4}{3} delta (V)+1}$. The proofs are based on the characteristic $p$ version of Deligne’s theorem for symmetric tensor categories obtained in $href{ https://dx.doi.org/10.4007/annals.2023.197.3.5}{[textrm{CEO}}]$. We also conjecture a classification of semisimple symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth which is interesting in its own right and implies the above conjecture for all $p$, and illustrate this conjecture by describing the semisimplification of the modular representation category of a cyclic $p$-group. Finally, we study the asymptotic behavior of the decomposition of $V^{oplus n}$ in characteristic zero using Deligne’s theorem and the Macdonald–Mehta–Opdam identity.","PeriodicalId":54526,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141061781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The functor generalizes the pure spinor superfield formalism as studied in the physics literature. We prove that the functor commutes with deformations of the super Lie algebra by a Maurer–Cartan element, and apply the result to compute twists of various free supergravity theories and supersymmetric field theories of physical interest. Our results show that, just as the component fields of supersymmetric multiplets are the vector bundles associated to the equivariant Koszul homology of the variety of square-zero elements in the supersymmetry algebra, the component fields of the holomorphic twists of the corresponding multiplets are the holomorphic vector bundles associated to the equivariant Koszul homology of square-zero elements in the twisted supersymmetry algebra. The BRST or BV differentials of the free multiplet are induced by the brackets of the corresponding super Lie algebra in each case. We make this precise in a variety of examples; applications include rigorous computations of the minimal twists of eleven-dimensional and type IIB supergravity, in the free perturbative limit. The latter result proves a conjecture by Costello and Li, relating the IIB multiplet directly to a presymplectic BV version of minimal BCOV theory.","PeriodicalId":54526,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140563751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
