In this paper, we show that for a fixed rank $n$, there are only finitely many $m$ for which there is a regular $m$-gonal form of rank $n$ and determine every type of the (generalized) regular $m$-gonal form for every sufficiently large…
A Jordan net (resp. web) is an embedding of a unital Jordan algebra of dimension $3$ (resp. $4$) into the space $\mathbb{S}^n$ of symmetric $n\times n$ matrices. We study the geometries of Jordan nets and webs: we classify the…
By the planarity rank of a semigroup variety we mean the largest number of generators of a free semigroup of a variety with respect to which the semigroup admits a planar Cayley graph. Since the time when L.M.Martynov formulated the problem…
We show that, if the Julia set of a transcendental entire function is locally connected, then it takes the form of a spider's web in the sense defined by Rippon and Stallard. In the opposite direction, we prove that a spider's web Julia set…
In this paper we count the number of some particular sextuple persymmetric rank i matrices over F_2.
We study the real rank of points with respect to a real variety $X$. This is a generalization of various tensor ranks, where $X$ is in a specific family of real varieties like Veronese or Segre varieties. The maximal real rank can be…
A {\it sign pattern matrix} is a matrix whose entries are from the set $\{+,-, 0\}$. The minimum rank of a sign pattern matrix $A$ is the minimum of the ranks of the real matrices whose entries have signs equal to the corresponding entries…
We prove a lower bound on the dimension of the set of maximal border subrank tensors. This is the first such bound of its type.
We lower bound the rank of a tensor by a linear combination of the ranks of three of its unfoldings, using Sylvester's rank inequality. In a similar way, we lower bound the symmetric rank by a linear combination of the symmetric ranks of…
In this paper we study various versions of extension complexity for polygons through the study of factorization ranks of their slack matrices. In particular, we develop a new asymptotic lower bound for their nonnegative rank, shortening the…
In this text, we investigate webs which can be associated to cluster algebras from the point of view of the abelian functional equations these webs carry, focusing on the polylogarithmic ones. We introduce a general notion of webs whose…
We provide a nontrivial upper bound for the nonnegative rank of rank-three matrices, which allows us to prove that [6(n+1)/7] linear inequalities suffice to describe a convex n-gon up to a linear projection.
We give various results and applications using the connection $(E,\nabla)$ associated with a $d$-web. Precisely, we exhibit fundamental invariants of the web related to the differential equation of first order which presents the web. They…
We define the rank of elements of general unital rings, discuss its properties and give several examples to support the definition. In semiprime rings we give a characterization of rank in terms of invertible elements. As an application we…
PageRank is a Web page ranking technique that has been a fundamental ingredient in the development and success of the Google search engine. The method is still one of the many signals that Google uses to determine which pages are most…
Let $M$ be an $n \times m$ matrix of independent Rademacher ($\pm 1$) random variables. It is well known that if $n \leq m$, then $M$ is of full rank with high probability. We show that this property is resilient to adversarial changes to…
The WorldWide Web is one of the most important communication systems we use in our everyday life. Despite its central role, the growth and the development of the WWW is not controlled by any central authority. This situation has created a…
For a non-constant elliptic surface over $\mathbb{P}^1$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, it is a result of Silverman that the Mordell--Weil rank of the fibres is at least the rank of the group of sections, up to finitely many fibres. If the…
We prove that a d-web near a point in n-space, where n is greater than 2 and d is greater than 2n-1, is equivalent to an algebraic web, if it has maximal rank or, more generally, if it has (2d - 3n + 1) abelian relations the 1-jets of which…
