For a hypersurface V of a conformal space, we introduce a conformal differential invariant I = h^2/g, where g and h are the first and the second fundamental forms of V connected by the apolarity condition. This invariant is called the…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ with scalar product given by a nondegenerate sesquilinear form whose matrix is diagonal in some basis. If $\mathbb F=\mathbb C$, then we give canonical matrices of isometric and selfadjoint…

When the number of non-triangular faces adjacent to a vertex $v$ is less than or equal to three, the vertex $v$ will be called (\emph{combinatorially}) \emph{rigid}. We study the number of rigid vertices and suggest a conjecture on a…

A curled algebra is a non-associative algebra in which $x$ and $x^2$ are linearly dependent for every element $x$. An algebra is called endo-commutative, if the square mapping from the algebra to itself preserves multiplication. In this…

This paper is about three classes of objects: Leonard pairs, Leonard triples, and the finite-dimensional irreducible modules for an algebra $\mathcal{A}$. Let $\K$ denote an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ denote…

We show first that a generic hypersurface $V$ of degree $d\geq 3$ in the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^n$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ has at least one hyperplane section $V \cap H$ containing exactly $n$ ordinary double points, alias…

A procedure resolving a torsion-free coherent sheaf on a nonsingular $N$-dimensional projective algebraic variety into a locally free sheaf on a projective scheme of certain class is proposed. This is a higher-dimensional analog of the…

An arc-weighted digraph is a pair $(D,\omega)$ where $D$ is a digraph and $\omega$ is an \emph{arc-weight function} that assigns\ to each arc $uv$ of $D$ a nonzero real number $\omega(uv)$. Given an arc-weighted digraph $(D,\omega)$ with…

Let $k$ be a field, $m$ a positive integer, $\mathbb{V}$ an affine subvariety of $\mathbb{A}^{m+3}$ defined by a linear relation of the form $x_{1}^{r_{1}}\cdots x_{m}^{r_{m}}y=F(x_{1}, \ldots , x_{m},z,t)$, $A$ the coordinate ring of…

A square matrix is called Hessenberg whenever each entry below the subdiagonal is zero and each entry on the subdiagonal is nonzero. Let $M$ denote a Hessenberg matrix. Then $M$ is called circular whenever the upper-right corner entry of…

A strong arc decomposition of a digraph $D=(V,A)$ is a decomposition of its arc set $A$ into two disjoint subsets $A_1$ and $A_2$ such that both of the spanning subdigraphs $D_1=(V,A_1)$ and $D_2=(V,A_2)$ are strong. Let $T$ be a digraph…

We establish a sharp inequality between the blocks of positive partitioned matrices and conjecture a triangle type inequality for contractions: Given three contactions A,B,C, we conjecture that the constant c=3/4 is sharp in the triangle…

We consider dissipative operators $A$ of the form $A=S+iV$, where both $S$ and $V\geq 0$ are assumed to be symmetric but neither of them needs to be (essentially) selfadjoint. After a brief discussion of the relation of the operators $S\pm…

Let $V$ and $V'$ be vector spaces over division rings. Suppose $\dim V$ is finite and not less than 3. Consider a mapping $l:V\to V$ with the following property: for every $u\in {\rm GL}(V)$ there is $u'\in {\rm GL}(V')$ such that $lu=u'l$.…

If $K$ is a field with enough roots of unity and $V$ an abelian group, the $K$-algebra $K[V]$ of the group $V$ is split semisimple, so that the canonical morphism $K[V]\to K^{V^\sharp}$, where $V^\sharp$ denotes the dual group of $V$ (which…

In the homomorphism order of digraphs, a duality pair is an ordered pair of digraphs $(G,H)$ such that for any digraph, $D$, $G\to D$ if and only if $D\not\to H$. The directed path on $k+1$ vertices together with the transitive tournament…

We define an algebra on two generators which we call the Tridiagonal algebra, and we consider its irreducible modules. The algebra is defined as follows. Let K denote a field, and let $\beta, \gamma, \gamma^*, \varrho, \varrho^*$ denote a…

If $A$ is an integer valued, strictly expansive matrix, then there exists an orthonormal $A$-wavelet whose Fourier transform is compactly supported and smooth. We show that strongly connected diagonally dominant integer matrices are…

Fix k>0, and let G be a graph, with vertex set partitioned into k subsets (`blocks') of approximately equal size. An induced subgraph of G is transversal (with respect to this partition) if it has exactly one vertex in each block (and…

A {\bf strong arc decomposition} of a digraph $D=(V,A)$ is a partition of its arc set $A$ into two sets $A_1,A_2$ such that the digraph $D_i=(V,A_i)$ is strong for $i=1,2$. Bang-Jensen and Yeo (2004) conjectured that there is some $K$ such…
