A non-deterministic automaton running on infinite trees is unambiguous if it has at most one accepting run on every tree. The class of languages recognisable by unambiguous tree automata is still not well-understood. In particular,…
We study the family of rational sets of words, called completely reducible and which are such that the syntactic representation of their characteristic series is completely reducible. This family contains, by a result of Reutenauer, the…
This paper investigates the class of finitely presented monoids defined by homogeneous (length-preserving) relations from a computational perspective. The properties of admitting a finite complete rewriting system, having finite derivation…
An observable canonical form is formulated for the set of rational systems on a variety each of which is a single-input-single-output, affine in the input, and a minimal realization of its response map. The equivalence relation for the…
In this paper, we establish a strong link between the ambiguity for finite words of a B\"uchi automaton and the ambiguity for infinite words of the same automaton. This link is based on measure theory. More precisely, we show that such an…
Mutually unbiased bases that can be cyclically generated by a single unitary operator are of special interest, since they can be readily implemented in practice. We show that, for a system of qubits, finding such a generator can be cast as…
We study rational streams (over a field) from a coalgebraic perspective. Exploiting the finality of the set of streams, we present an elementary and uniform proof of the equivalence of four notions of representability of rational streams:…
Any rational number can be factored into a product of several rationals whose sum vanishes. This simple but nontrivial fact was suggested as a problem on a maths olympiad for high-school students. We completely solve similar questions in…
We show that the set of realizations of a given dimension of a max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets, which can be computed from any realization of the sequence. This yields an (expensive) algorithm to solve the…
This paper examines fields of rationality in families of cuspidal automorphic representations of unitary groups. Specifically, for a fixed $A$ and a sufficiently large family $\mathcal{F}$, a small proportion of representations $\pi\in…
Two cycles on a projective variety over an algebraically closed field are shown to be rationally equivalent if and only if their difference equals a difference of complete intersections of a certain kind. Some of Bloch's conjectures for…
In previous papers on this project a general static logical framework for formalizing and mechanizing set theories of different strength was suggested, and the power of some predicatively acceptable theories in that framework was explored.…
We call a polynomial monogenic if a root $\theta$ has the property that $\mathbb{Z}[\theta]$ is the full ring of integers in $\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$. Consider the two families of trinomials $x^n + ax + b$ and $x^n + cx^{n-1} + d$. For any…
We show that the first-order logical theory of the binary overlap-free words (and, more generally, the ${\alpha}$-free words for rational ${\alpha}$, $2 < {\alpha} \leq 7/3$), is decidable. As a consequence, many results previously obtained…
An automaton is unambiguous if for every input it has at most one accepting computation. An automaton is k-ambiguous (for k > 0) if for every input it has at most k accepting computations. An automaton is boundedly ambiguous if it is…
Nonuniform families of polynomial-size finite automata, which are series of indexed finite automata having polynomially many inner states, are used in the past literature to solve nonuniform families of promise decision problems. Among such…
There are fairly large families of unitarily inequivalent complete sets of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in C^N for various prime powers N. The number of such sets is not bounded above by any polynomial as a function of N. While it is…
We construct a family of semiprimitive and non von Neumann regular rings satisfying that any right or left module is isomorphic to a quotient of its flat cover (in the sense of Enochs) by a small submodule. This answers in the negative a…
We describe a framework for systematic enumeration of families combinatorial structures which possess a certain regularity. More precisely, we describe how to obtain the differential equations satisfied by their generating series. These…
The goal of this paper is to present examples of families of homogeneous ideals in the polynomial ring over a field that satisfy the following condition: every product of ideals of the family has a linear free resolution. As we will see,…
