Hall-Littlewood polynomials and Cohen-Lenstra heuristics for Jacobians of random graphs

arXiv:1403.0473

Abstract

Cohen-Lenstra heuristics for Jacobians of random graphs give rise to random partitions. We connect these random partitions to the Hall-Littlewood polynomials of symmetric function theory, and use this connection to give combinatorial proofs of properties of these random partitions. In addition, we use Markov chains to give an algorithm for generating these partitions.
