The purpose of this paper is to give some explicit formulas involving M\"obius functions, which may be known under the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, but unconditional in this paper. Concretely, we prove explicit formulas of partial sums…
To each finitely presented module $M$ over a commutative ring $R$ one can associate an $R$-ideal $\mathrm{Fitt}_{R}(M)$, which is called the (zeroth) Fitting ideal of $M$ over $R$. This is of interest because it is always contained in the…
We present a two term formula for the M\"obius function of intervals in the poset of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment. The first term in this formula is the number of so called normal occurrences of one permutation in…
We show that the M\"obius function of an interval in a permutation poset where the lower bound is sum (resp. skew) indecomposable depends solely on the sum (resp. skew) indecomposable permutations contained in the upper bound, and that this…
We introduce the M\"obius polynomial $ M_n(x) = \sum_{d|n} \mu\left( \frac nd \right) x^d $, which gives the number of aperiodic bracelets of length $n$ with $x$ possible types of gems, and therefore satisfies $M_n(x) \equiv 0$ (mod $n$)…
We study numerical integration by combining the trapezoidal rule with a M\"obius transformation that maps the unit circle onto the real line. We prove that the resulting transformed trapezoidal rule attains the optimal rate of convergence…
We introduce the inverse monoid of inner partial automorphisms of a semigroup -- a tool that associates to every semigroup an inverse semigroup. When the semigroup is a group, this inverse semigroup is isomorphic to the group of inner…
Convolution algebras on maps from structures such as monoids, groups or categories into semirings, rings or fields abound in mathematics and the sciences. Of special interest in computing are convolution algebras based on variants of Kleene…
Estimating nonlinear functionals of probability distributions from samples is a fundamental statistical problem. The "plug-in" estimator obtained by applying the target functional to the empirical distribution of samples is biased.…
Algorithmic issues concerning Elliott local semigroups are seldom considered in the literature, although these combinatorial structures completely classify AF algebras. In general, the addition operation of an Elliott local semigroup is…
We establish a Crapo complementation formula for the M\"obius function $\mu^X$ in a general decomposition space $X$ in terms of a convex subspace $K$ and its complement: $\mu^X \simeq \mu^{X\setminus K} + \mu^X*\zeta^K*\mu^X$. We work at…
After attaching explicitly to the M\"obius strip an invertible module over the ring of real polynomial functions on the real circle, we expound as directly as possible the many faces and the main algebraic properties of invertible modules.…
We examine, in a general setting, a notion of inverse semigroup of left quotients, which we call left I-quotients. This concept has appeared, and has been used, as far back as Clifford's seminal work describing bisimple inverse monoids in…
The inverse problem of Galois Theory was developed in the early 1800 s as an approach to understand polynomials and their roots. The inverse Galois problem states whether any finite group can be realized as a Galois group over Q (field of…
A semiring generalises the notion of a ring, replacing the additive abelian group structure with that of a commutative monoid. In this paper, we study a notion positioned between a ring and a semiring -- a semiring whose additive monoid is…
We define and present some proprieties of the M\"obius inversion of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. We prove that the M\"obius inversion preserves the lines of principal curvature and the locus of points where the metric is degenerate,…
In this article we construct a complete system of M\"obius-geometric invariants for pairs $(S^m, S^l), l \leq m$, of spheres contained in the M\"obius space $S^n$. It consists of n-m generalised stationary angles. We interpret these…
This paper introduces and develops M\"obius homology, a homology theory for representations of finite posets into abelian categories. Although the connection between poset topology and M\"obius functions is classical, we go further by…
We introduce a notion of antipode for monoidal (complete) decomposition spaces, inducing a notion of weak antipode for their incidence bialgebras. In the connected case, this recovers the usual notion of antipode in Hopf algebras. In the…
It is a folklore conjecture that the M\"obius function exhibits cancellation on shifted primes; that is, $\sum_{p\le X}\mu(p+h) \ = \ o(\pi(X))$ as $X\to\infty$ for any fixed shift $h>0$. This appears in print at least since Hildebrand in…
