We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…

We study the maximal rank in affine subspaces of symmetric or alternating matrices, in terms of the matching numbers of certain associated graphs. Applications include simple proofs of upper bounds on the dimension of such subspaces in…

We develop criteria for deciding the contravariant finiteness status of a subcategory $A \subseteq \Lambda\text{-mod}$, where $\Lambda$ is a finite dimensional algebra. In particular, given a finite dimensional $\Lambda$-module $X$, we…

We present a simple combinatorial model for the characters of the irreducible integrable highest weight modules for complex symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. This model can be viewed as a discrete counterpart to the Littelmann path model.…

We study the uniform distribution of the polynomial sequence $\lambda(P)=(\lfloor P(k) \rfloor )_{k\geq 1}$ modulo integers, where $P(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. In the nonlinear case, we show that $\lambda(P)$ is uniformly…

A class of parametric functions formed by alternating compositions of multivariate polynomials and rectification style monomial maps is studied (the layer-wise exponents are treated as fixed hyperparameters and are not optimized). For this…

We verify a conjecture on the structure of higher-rank numerical ranges for a wide class of unitary and normal matrices. Using analytic and geometric techniques, we show precisely how the higher-rank numerical ranges for a generic unitary…

It is known that, among all the monotone decompositions of a planar compact set K with Peano hyperspaces, there exists a unique one that is finer than all the others. We call it the "core decomposition" of K with Peano hyperspace. The…

We prove a general version of the classical Perron-Frobenius convergence property for reducible matrices. We then apply this result to reducible substitutions and use it to produce limit frequencies for factors and hence invariant measures…

It is shown that the rank-$k$ numerical range of every $n$-by-$n$ complex matrix is non-empty if $n \ge 3k - 2$. The proof is based on a recent characterization of the rank-$k$ numerical range by Li and Sze, the Helly's theorem on compact…

The exponential growth rate of non polynomially growing subgroups of $GL_d$ is conjectured to admit a uniform lower bound. This is known for non-amenable subgroups, while for amenable subgroups it is known to imply the Lehmer conjecture…

A list $\Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\lambda_{2},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\}$ of complex numbers is said to be realizable if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix. The list $\Lambda $ is said to be universally realizable…

The simplest version of Bertini's irreducibility theorem states that the generic fiber of a non-composite polynomial function is an irreducible hypersurface. The main result of this paper is its analog for a free algebra: if $f$ is a…

A binary matrix is a matrix with entries from the set $\{0,1\}$. We say that a binary matrix $A$ contains a binary matrix $S$ if $S$ can be obtained from $A$ by removal of some rows, some columns, and changing some $1$-entries to…

A number $\lambda \in \mathbb C $ is called an {\it eigenvalue} of the matrix polynomial $P(z)$ if there exists a nonzero vector $x \in \mathbb C^n$ such that $P(\lambda)x = 0$. Note that each finite eigenvalue of $P(z)$ is a zero of the…

Unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra with only the top $k$ operations are introduced in the language of ringoids. We prove the category of such modules has homological dimension at most $k$. A pratical method, which generalizes the…

We adopt a bottom-up approach to reconstruct the possible neutrino mass matrix patterns, in the hypothesis that $\lambda = \sin \theta_C$, where $\theta_C$ is the Cabibbo angle, is a useful expansion parameter in the neutrino sector as it…

Our first result is a noncommutative form of Jessen/Marcinkiewicz/Zygmund theorem for the maximal limit of multiparametric martingales or ergodic means. It implies bilateral almost uniform convergence with initial data in the expected…

We derive new matrix representation for higher order Daehee numbers and polynomials, the higher order lambda-Daehee numbers and polynomials and the twisted lambda-Daehee numbers and polynomials of order k. This helps us to obtain simple and…

We develop a theory of levels for irreducible representations of symmetric groups of degree $n$ analogous to the theory of levels for finite classical groups. A key property of level is that the level of a character, provided it is not too…
