In our previous papers, together with J. Paseka we introduced so-called sectionally pseudocomplemented lattices and posets and illuminated their role in algebraic constructions. We believe that - similar to relatively pseudocomplemented…
This work contains an exposition of foundations of the variational calculus in fibered manifolds. The emphasis is laid on the geometric aspects of the theory. Especially functionals defined by real functions (Lagrange functions) or…
As countless examples show, it can be fruitful to study a sequence of complicated objects all at once via the formalism of generating functions. We apply this point of view to the homology and combinatorics of orbit configuration spaces:…
We classify transcendental entire functions that are compositions of a polynomial and the exponential for which all singular values escape on disjoint rays. The construction involves an iteration procedure on an infinite-dimensional…
We present a method of computing the generating function $f_P(\x)$ of $P$-partitions of a poset $P$. The idea is to introduce two kinds of transformations on posets and compute $f_P(\x)$ by recursively applying these transformations. As an…
We show that every finite poset is isomorphic to a saturated subset of the spectrum of a Noetherian unique factorization domain. In addition, we show that every finite poset is isomorphic to a saturated subset of the spectrum of a…
Euler totient function $\phi(n)$ plays a central role in number theory and is applied in areas such as cryptography. In this paper, we study iterations of the totient function. We first prove that for any integer $n>2$, iteratively applying…
In this Ph.D. dissertation (2018, Emory University) we prove theorems at the intersection of the additive and multiplicative branches of number theory, bringing together ideas from partition theory, $q$-series, algebra, modular forms and…
Moduli spaces of stable coherent sheaves on a surface are of much interest for both mathematics and physics. Yoshioka computed generating functions of Poincare polynomials of such moduli spaces if the surface is the projective plane P2 and…
In this paper, we will define general Eulerian numbers and Eulerian polynomials based on general arithmetic progressions. Under the new definitions, we have been successful in extending several well-known properties of traditional Eulerian…
We study two constructions related to the intervals of finite posets. The first one is a poset. The second one is more complicated. Loosely speaking it can be seen as a poset with some extra zero-relations. As main result, we show that…
This paper is the second part of a two-part study of an elementary functorial construction of tesselated surfaces from finite groups. This elementary construction was discussed in the first part and generally results in a large collection…
We consider the natural problem of counting isotopy classes of essential surfaces in 3-manifolds, focusing on closed essential surfaces in a broad class of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Our main result is that the count of (possibly disconnected)…
We develop a family of finite element spaces of differential forms defined on cubical meshes in any number of dimensions. The family contains elements of all polynomial degrees and all form degrees. In two dimensions, these include the…
We prove that the Schweitzer complex is elliptic and its cohomologies define cohomological functors. As applications, we obtain finite dimensionality, a version of Serre duality, restrictions of the behaviour of cohomology in small…
For a group $G$ of not prime power order, Oliver showed that the obstruction for a finite CW-complex $F$ to be the fixed point set of a contractible finite $G$-CW-complex is the Euler characteristic $\chi(F)$. He also has the similar…
In this paper, the notions of quasi-triangular and factorizable dual pre-Poisson bialgebras are introduced. A factorizable dual pre-Poisson bialgebra induces a factorization of the underlying dual pre-Poisson algebra, and the double of any…
In terms of the number of triangles, it is known that there are more than exponentially many triangulations of surfaces, but only exponentially many triangulations of surfaces with bounded genus. In this paper we provide a first geometric…
Over fields of characteristic zero, we determine all absolutely irreducible Yetter-Drinfeld modules over groups that have prime dimension and yield a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra. To achieve our goal, we introduce orders of braided…
In this paper, we study the degenerate Eulerian polynomials and numbers and give some new and interesting identities associated with several special numbers and polynomials.
