In this paper we characterize "large" regular graphs using certain entries in the projection matrices onto the eigenspaces of the graph. As a corollary of this result, we show that "large" association schemes become $P$-polynomial…

Charts are oriented labeled graphs in a disk. Any simple surface braid (2-dimensional braid) can be described by using a chart. Also, a chart represents an oriented closed surface (called a surface-link) embedded in 4-space. In this paper,…

There exists two types of nonassociative algebras whose associator satisfies a symmetric relation associated with a 1-dimensional invariant vector space with respect to the natural action of the symmetric group on three elements. The first…

We prove that semisimple 4-dimensional oriented topological field theories lead to stable diffeomorphism invariants and can therefore not distinguish homeomorphic closed oriented smooth 4-manifolds and homotopy equivalent simply connected…

We develop the theory of truncated wedge schemes, a higher dimensional analog of jet schemes. We prove some basic properties and give an irreducibility criterion for truncated wedge schemes of a locally complete intersection variety…

The characteristic map for the symmetric group is an isomorphism relating the representation theory of the symmetric group to symmetric functions. An analogous isomorphism is constructed for the symmetric space of symplectic forms over a…

An alternating sign matrix is a square matrix with entries 1, 0 and -1 such that the sum of the entries in each row and each column is equal to 1 and the nonzero entries alternate in sign along each row and each column. To some of the…

To a directed graph without loops and 2-cycles, we can associate a skew-symmetric matrix with integer entries. Mutations of such skew-symmetric matrices, and more generally skew-symmetrizable matrices, have been defined in the context of…

Noncrossing arc diagrams are combinatorial models for permutations that encode information about lattice congruences of the weak order and about the associated discrete geometry. In this paper, we consider two related, analogous models for…

For a large class of possibly singular complete intersections we prove a formula for their Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes in terms of a single blowup along a scheme supported on the singular loci of such varieties. In the hypersurface…

This paper is devoted to the convergence and stability analysis of a class of nonlinear subdivision schemes and associated multi-resolution transforms. These schemes are defined as a perturbation of a linear subdivision scheme. Assuming a…

We give examples of contactomorphisms in every dimension that are smoothly isotopic to the identity but that are not contact isotopic to the identity. In fact, we prove the stronger statement that they are not even symplectically…

The intersection graph of a family of sets $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ is a graph whose vertex set is $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if the intersection of the corresponding sets is non-empty.…

We investigate the relationship between the symmetric, exterior and classical cohomologies of groups. The first two theories were introduced respectively by Staic and Zarelua. We show in particular, that there is a map from exterior…

A new class of sign-symmetric matrices is introduced in this paper. Such matrices are named J--sign-symmetric. The spectrum of a J--sign-symmetric irreducible matrix is studied under assumptions that its second compound matrix is also…

The Chern-Fulton class is a generalization of Chern class to the realm of arbitrary embeddable schemes. While Chern-Fulton classes are sensitive to non-reduced scheme structure, they are not sensitive to possible singularities of the…

Central in entanglement theory is the characterization of local transformations among pure multipartite states. As a first step towards such a characterization, one needs to identify those states which can be transformed into each other via…

This thesis studies skein relations in cluster algebras arising from punctured surfaces. We introduce skein-type identities expressing cluster variables associated with incompatible curves on a surface in terms of cluster variables…

We study subclasses of grid intersection graphs from the perspective of order dimension. We show that partial orders of height two whose comparability graph is a grid intersection graph have order dimension at most four. Starting from this…

If the face\mbox{-}cycles at all the vertices in a map are of the same type, then the map is said to be a semi-equivelar map. Automorphism (symmetry) of a map can be thought of as a permutation of the vertices which preserves the…
