A tridiagonal pair is an ordered pair of diagonalizable linear maps on a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space, that each act on the eigenspaces of the other in a block-tridiagonal fashion. We consider a tridiagonal pair $(A, A^*)$ of…

Consider the multiplication operator $M_{B}$ in $L^2(\T)$, where the symbol $B$ is a finite Blaschke product. In this article, we characterize the commutant of $M_{B}$ in $L^2(\T)$, noting the fact that $L^2(\T)$ is not an RKHS. As an…

For non-negative integers $a,b,$ and $n$, let $N(a, b; n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of squares with coefficients $1$ or $3$ ($a$ of ones and $b$ of threes). Let $N^*(a,b; n)$ be the number of representations of $n$…

The purpose of this paper is to exhibit infinite families of conjugate projective curves in a number field whose complement have the same abelian fundamental group, but are non-homeomorphic. In particular, for any $d>3$ we find Zariski…

We characterize those finitely generated commutative rings which are (parametrically) bi-interpretable with arithmetic: a finitely generated commutative ring $A$ is bi-interpretable with $(\mathbb N,{+},{\times})$ if and only if the space…

We classify the irreducible components of the varieties V(n,a,b) of pairs (A,B) of matrices of size n such that AB = BA = 0 and A^a = B^b = 0.

Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term truncated $L_\infty$ algebra giving rise to a fundamental…

In 2006 J.G. Thompson conjectured: "If F is a field and A is in GL(n,F), then there is a permutation matrix P such that AP is cyclic, that is, the minimal polynomial of AP is also its characteristic polynomial" (open problem 16.95 in the…

Given a positive integer $n$ and a nonnegative integer $k$ with $k\leq n$, we denote by $\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ the class of all $n$-by-$n$ $(0,1)$-matrices with constant row and column sums $k$. In this paper, we show that the Bruhat order and…

An $N$-tiling of triangle $ABC$ by triangle $T$ (the `tile') is a way of writing $ABC$ as a union of $N$ copies of $T$ overlapping only at their boundaries. Let the tile $T$ have angles $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$, and sides $(a,b,c)$. This…

Let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two (complex) algebras. A linear map $\phi:{\mathcal A}\to{\mathcal B}$ is called $n$-homomorphism if $\phi(a_{1}... a_{n})=\phi(a_{1})...\phi(a_{n})$ for each $a_{1},...,a_{n}\in{\mathcal A}.$ In this…

A. Takahashi suggested a conjectural method to find mirror symmetric pairs consisting of invertible polynomials and symmetry groups generated by some diagonal symmetries and some permutations of variables. Here we generalize the Saito…

Let $b(n)$ denote the number of cubic partition pairs of $n$. In this paper, we aim to provide a strategy to obtain arithmetic properties of $b(n)$. This gives affirmative answers to two of Lin's conjectures.

Let $A(\ell,n,k)$ denote the number of $\ell$-tuples of commuting permutations of $n$ elements whose permutation action results in exactly $k$ orbits or connected components. We provide a new proof of an explicit formula for $A(\ell,n,k)$…

We introduce the notion of non commutative truncated polynomial extension of an algebra A. We study two families of these extensions. For the first one we obtain a complete classification and for the second one, which we call upper…

Let $A$, $A'$ be separable $C^*$-algebras, $B$ a stable $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra. Our main result is the construction of the pairing $[[A',A]]\times\operatorname{Ext}^{-1/2}(A,B)\to\operatorname{Ext}^{-1/2}(A',B)$, where $[[A',A]]$…

We provide a characterization of two expansive dilation matrices yielding equal discrete anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. For two such matrices $A$ and $B$, it is shown that $\dot{\mathbf{f}}^{\alpha}_{p,q}(A) =…

Let A and B be subsets of Z/pZ such that |A+B| < |A|+|B|+2. We prove that, if |A|>3, |B|>4, |A+B|<p-4 and p > 52, then A and B are included in arithmetic progressions with the same difference and of size |A|+2 and |B|+2 respectively. This…

We study properties of pseudo Drazin inverse in a Banach algebra with unity 1. If $ab=ba$ and $a,b$ are pseudo Drazin invertible, we prove that $a+b$ is pseudo Drazin invertible if and only if $1+a^\ddag b$ is pseudo Drazin invertible.…

The number of $n \times n$ matrices whose entries are either -1, 0, or 1, whose row- and column- sums are all 1, and such that in every row and every column the non-zero entries alternate in sign, is proved to be $[1!4! >...…
