Given a square matrix with elements in the group-ring of a group, one can consider the sequence formed by the trace (in the sense of the group-ring) of its powers. We prove that the corresponding generating series is an algebraic…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0, $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ be a multiplicative function, and $F(z)=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)z^n\in K[[z]]$ be algebraic over $K(z)$. Then either there is a natural number $k$ and a periodic multiplicative function…

In this paper, we give a new proof and an extension of the following result of B\'ezivin. Let $f:\B{N}\to K$ be a multiplicative function taking values in a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and write $F(z)=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)z^n\in K[[z]]$ for…

We consider algebras with basis numerated by elements of a group $G.$ We fix a function $f$ from $G\times G$ to a ground field and give a multiplication of the algebra which depends on $f$. We study the basic properties of such algebras. In…

By the classical theorem of Weitzenboeck the algebra of constants (i.e., the kernel) of a nonzero locally nilpotent linear derivation of the polynomial algebra K[X] in d variables over a field K of characteristic 0 is finitely generated. As…

Fix a prime N, and consider the action of the Hecke operator T_N on the space M_k(SL(2,Z)) of modular forms of full level and varying weight k. The coefficients of the matrix of T_N with respect to the basis {E_4^i E_6^j | 4i + 6j = k} for…

In this paper we provide an identity between determinant and generalized matrix function. Also, a criterion of positive semi-definite matrices affirming the permanent dominant conjecture is given. As a consequence, infinitely many infinite…

In the context of phase-space quantization, matrix elements and observables result from integration of c-number functions over phase space, with Wigner functions serving as the quasi-probability measure. The complete sets of Wigner…

A certain class of matrix-valued Borel matrix functions is introduced and it is shown that all functions of that class naturally operate on any operator T in a finite type I von Neumann algebra M in a way such that uniformly bounded…

We use a generalization of a construction by Ziegler to show that for any field $F$ and any countable collection of countable subsets $A_i \subseteq F, i \in \calI \subset \Z_{>0}$ there exist infinitely many fields $K$ of arbitrary…

Since their introduction by Andrews, generalized Frobenius partitions have interested a number of authors, many of whom have worked out explicit formulas for their generating functions in specific cases. This has uncovered interesting…

We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…

We show that all invertible $n \times n$ matrices over any finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ can be generated in a Gray code fashion. More specifically, there exists a listing such that (1) each matrix appears exactly once, and (2) two…

We show that the class of all aggregation functions on $[0,1]$ can be generated as a composition of infinitary sup-operation $\bigvee$ acting on sets with cardinality not exceeding $\mathfrak{c}$, $b$-medians $\mathsf{Med}_b$, $b\in[0,1[$,…

We show that, for any fixed genus $g$, the ordinary generating function for the genus $g$ partitions of an $n$-element set into $k$ blocks is algebraic. The proof involves showing that each such partition may be reduced in a unique way to a…

We study infinite products of reproducing kernels with view to their use in dynamics (of iterated function systems), in harmonic analysis, and in stochastic processes. On the way, we construct a new family of representations of the Cuntz…

We give a generating function for the number of pairs of $n\times n$ matrices $(A, B)$ over a finite field that are mutually annihilating, namely, $AB=BA=0$. This generating function can be viewed as a singular analogue of a series…

We show that every AF-algebra is generated by a single operator. This was previously unclear, since the invariant that assigns to a C*-algebra its minimal number of generators lacks natural permanence properties. In particular, it may…

Let G be the space of generating functions of a periodic infinite order linear recurrence. In this paper we provide an explicit procedure for computing a basis of G.

We show how Andrews' generating functions for generalized Frobenius partitions can be understood within the theory of Eichler and Zagier as specific coefficients of certain Jacobi forms. This reformulation leads to a recursive process which…
