Hadamard matrices are $(-1, +1)$ square matrices with mutually orthogonal rows. The Hadamard conjecture states that Hadamard matrices of order $n$ exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$. However, no construction is known that…

For a real affine hyperplane arrangement, we define an integer intersection matrix with a natural $q$-deformation related to the intersections of bounded chambers of the arrangement. By connecting the integer matrix to a bilinear form of…

A family F of permutations of the vertices of a hypergraph H is called "pairwise suitable" for H if, for every pair of disjoint edges in H, there exists a permutation in F in which all the vertices in one edge precede those in the other.…

Let $D$ denote a positive integer and let $Q_D$ denote the graph of the $D$-dimensional hypercube. Let $X$ denote the vertex set of $Q_D$ and let $A \in \MX$ denote the adjacency matrix of $Q_D$. A matrix $B \in \MX$ is called $A$-{\em…

Let $U$ and $V$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a (commutative) field $\mathbb{K}$, and $\mathcal{S}$ be a linear subspace of the space $\mathcal{L}(U,V)$ of all linear operators from $U$ to $V$. A map $F : \mathcal{S} \rightarrow…

Given an associative, not necessarily commutative, ring R with identity, a formal matrix calculus is introduced and developed for pairs of matrices over R. This calculus subsumes the theory of homogeneous systems of linear equations with…

An $n$-tuple of operators $(V_1,...,V_n)$ acting on a Hilbert space $H$ is said to be isometric if the operator $[V_1\...\ V_n]:H^n\to H$ is an isometry. We prove a decomposition for an isometric tuple of operators that generalizes the…

Let $A$, $B$ be two rings and $T=\left(\begin{smallmatrix} A & M \\ 0 & B \\\end{smallmatrix}\right)$ with $M$ an $A$-$B$-bimodule. We first construct a semi-complete duality pair $\mathcal{D}_{T}$ of $T$-modules using duality pairs in…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the Hessenberg recurrence matrix associated with a system of multiple orthogonal polynomials to admit a factorisation as a product of bidiagonal matrices. Using the Gauss-Borel…

For $\alpha$ in $(0,1]$, a subset $E$ of $\RR$ is called Furstenberg set of type $\alpha$ or $F_\alpha$-set if for each direction $e$ in the unit circle there is a line segment $\ell_e$ in the direction of $e$ such that the Hausdorff…

A tight Heffter array H(m,n) is an m x n matrix with nonzero entries from Z_{2mn+1} such that i) the sum of the elements in each row and each column is 0, and ii) no element from {x,-x\ appears twice. We prove that H(m,n) exist if and only…

We give a complete description of Green's D relation for the multiplicative semigroup of all n-by-n tropical matrices. Our main tool is a new variant on the duality between the row and column space of a tropical matrix (studied by Cohen,…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite (strongly) connected regular (di)graph with adjacency matrix $A$. The {\em Hoffman polynomial} $h(t)$ of $\Gamma=\Gamma(A)$ is the unique polynomial of smallest degree satisfying $h(A)=J$, where $J$ denotes the…

Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. By a Leonard pair on $V$ we mean an ordered pair of linear transformations $A:V \to V$ and $A^*:V \to V$ that satisfy the following two…

A polyhedron is box-integer if its intersection with any integer box $\{\ell\leq x \leq u\}$ is integer. We define principally box-integer polyhedra to be the polyhedra $P$ such that $kP$ is box-integer whenever $kP$ is integer. We…

We study a family of subvarieties of the flag variety defined by certain linear conditions, called Hessenberg varieties. We compare them to Schubert varieties. We prove that some Schubert varieties can be realized as Hessenberg varieties…

Generalized Heisenberg algebras $\H(f)$ for any polynomial $f(h)\in\C[h]$ have been used to explain various physical systems and many physical phenomena for the last 20 years. In this paper, we first obtain the center of $\H(f)$, and the…

We investigate matching for the family $T_\alpha(x) = \beta x + \alpha \pmod 1$, $\alpha \in [0,1]$, for fixed $\beta > 1$. Matching refers to the property that there is an $n \in \mathbb N$ such that $T_\alpha^n(0) = T_\alpha^n(1)$. We…
