In this article, we use $\lambda$-sequences to derive common fixed points for a family of self-mappings defined on a complete $G$-metric space. We imitate some existing techniques in our proofs and show that the tools emlyed can be used at…
Applying results from partial difference sets, quadratic forms, and recent results of Brouwer and Van Dam, we construct the first known amorphic association scheme with negative Latin square type graphs and whose underlying set is a…
We present higher dimensional versions of the classical results of Euler and Fuss, both of which are special cases of the celebrated Poncelet porism. Our results concern polytopes, specifically simplices, parallelotopes and cross polytopes,…
Every Laurent series in $\mathbb{F}_q\left(\left(t^{-1}\right)\right)$ has a continued fraction expansion whose partial quotients are polynomials. De Mathan and Teuli\'e proved that the degrees of the partial quotients of the left-shifts of…
We describe the limit (for two topologies) of large uniform random square permutations, i.e., permutations where every point is a record. The starting point for all our results is a sampling procedure for asymptotically uniform square…
In some particular cases we give criteria for morphic sequences to be almost periodic (=uniformly recurrent). Namely, we deal with fixed points of non-erasing morphisms and with automatic sequences. In both cases a polynomial-time algorithm…
A $k$-plex of a latin square is a collection of cells representing each row, column, and symbol precisely $k$ times. The classic case of $k=1$ is more commonly known as a transversal. We introduce the concept of a $k$-weight, an integral…
We show that for each algebraic space that is separated and of finite type over a field, and whose affinization is connected and reduced, there is a universal morphism to a para-abelian variety. The latter are schemes that acquire the…
A Latin square of order $n$ is an $n \times n$ matrix of $n$ symbols, such that each symbol occurs exactly once in each row and column. For an odd prime power $q$ let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. A quadratic Latin…
The overlap formulation is applied to an anomaly free combination of chiral fermions coupled to U(1) gauge fields on a 2D torus. Evidence is presented that gauge averaging the overlap phases in these models produces correct continuum…
Based on a previous generalization by the author of Latin squares to Latin boards, this paper generalizes partial Latin squares and related objects like partial Latin squares, completable partial Latin squares and Latin square puzzles. The…
Inspired by the Bruhat-Tits building of SL$_n$($\mathbb Q_p$), we construct a complete metric space X with an action of the tame automorphism group of the affine space Tame($K^n$). The points in X are certain monomial valuations, and X…
We discuss the linearization of a non-autonomous nonlinear partial difference equation belonging to the Boll classification of quad-graph equations consistent around the cube. We show that its Lax pair is fake. We present its generalized…
The notion of a complete Boolean algebra, although completely legitimate in constructive mathematics, fails to capture some natural structures such as the lattice of subsets of a given set. Sambin's notion of an overlap algebra, although…
Automatic sequences such as the Thue-Morse sequence and the Rudin-Shapiro sequence are highly predictable and thus not suitable in cryptography. In particular, they have small expansion complexity. However, they still have a large maximum…
We investigate several questions related to the notion of recognizable morphism. The main result is a new proof of Moss\'e's theorem and actually of a generalization to non primitive morphisms due to Berth\'e et al. We actually prove the…
Leighton's graph covering theorem states that a pair of finite graphs with isomorphic universal covers have a common finite cover. We provide a new proof of Leighton's theorem that allows generalizations; we prove the corresponding result…
We show how to construct Hamiltonian lattice theories with one exact supersymmetry on arbitrary triangulations of curved space in any number of dimensions. Both bosons and fermions satisfy discrete K\"{a}hler-Dirac equations. The…
We put forward several general conjectures concerning the algebraicity or transcendence of continued fractions and Stieltjes continued fractions defined by the Thue-Morse and period-doubling sequences in characteristic $2$. We present our…
It is well-known that there exist infinite sequences that are the fixed point of non-uniform morphisms, but not $k$-automatic for any $k$. In this note we show that every $k$-automatic sequence is the image of a fixed point of a {\it…
