The inhomogeneous multispecies PushTASEP and Macdonald polynomials
Abstract: The inhomogeneous multispecies PushTASEP is an interacting particle system with multiple species of particles on a finite ring where the hopping rates are site-dependent. (The homogeneous variant on Z is also known as the Hammersley–Aldous–Diaconis process.) In its simplest variant with a single species, a particle at a given site will hop to the first available site clockwise. We show that the partition function of this process is intimately related to the classical Macdonald polynomial. We also show that well-known families of symmetric polynomials appear as expectations in the stationary distribution of important observables. This is joint work with James Martin (Oxford) and Lauren Williams (Harvard).

Enumeration and dynamics on interval-closed sets
Abstract: Many nice formulas, such as binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers, have interpretations enumerating order ideals (downward-closed subsets) of certain posets (partially ordered sets). Many of these same posets have nice dynamical behavior under toggling actions such as rowmotion. In this paper, we study enumeration and toggle dynamics of interval-closed sets, a natural superset of order ideals. We find several results analogous to, though more complicated than, known results on order ideals.This talk is primarily based on a 2024 paper joint with Jennifer Elder, Nadia Lafreniere, Erin McNicholas, and Amanda Welch, and also work in progress with a subset of these authors and Sergi Elizalde and Joel Lewis.
