We determine the product structure on Hochschild cohomology of commutative algebras in low degrees, obtaining the answer in all degrees for complete intersection algebras. As applications, we consider cyclic extension algebras as well as…
We show that the cohomology ring of a finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with an abelian group of group-like elements is finitely generated. Our strategy has three major steps. We first reduce the problem to the finite…
It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…
This is a further investigation of our approach to group actions in homological algebra in the settings of homology of {\Gamma}-simplicial groups, particularly of {\Gamma}-equivariant homology and cohomology of {\Gamma}-groups. This…
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of derivations. Using these so-called secondary derivations, along with an analogue of Connes' Long Exact Sequence, we are able to provide computations in low dimension for the secondary…
Many applications modeled by polynomial systems have positive dimensional solution components (e.g., the path synthesis problems for four-bar mechanisms) that are challenging to compute numerically by homotopy continuation methods. A…
Motivated by Kontsevich's graph complexes, this paper gives a systematic study of matroid complexes. We construct deletion and contraction bicomplexes on the vector space spanned by matroid classes equipped with ground-set orientations,…
There are several well-known methods that one can use to construct Hadamard matrices from base sequences BS(m,n). In view of the recent classification of base sequences BS(n+1,n) for n <= 30, it may be of interest to show on an example how…
Let $G$ be a compactly generated locally compact group and $(\pi, \mathcal H)$ a unitary representation of $G.$ The $1$-cocycles with coefficients in $\pi$ which are harmonic (with respect to a suitable probability measure on $G$) represent…
We study the problem of finding generators for the fundamental group G of a space of the following sort: one removes a family of complex hyperplanes from n dimensional complex vector space, or n dimensional complex hyperbolic space, or the…
Commutative K-theory, a cohomology theory built from spaces of commuting matrices, has been explored in recent work of Adem, G\'{o}mez, Gritschacher, Lind, and Tillman. In this article, we use unstable methods to construct explicit…
For each $n\ge5$, we give an $S_n$-equivariant basis for $H_4(\overline{\mathcal{M}_{0,n}},\mathbb{Q})$, as well as for $H_{2(n-5)}(\overline{\mathcal{M}_{0,n}},\mathbb{Q})$. Such a basis exists for…
Covariance matrix estimation is a fundamental statistical task in many applications, but the sample covariance matrix is sub-optimal when the sample size is comparable to or less than the number of features. Such high-dimensional settings…
A switching method is a graph operation that results in cospectral graphs (graphs with the same spectrum). Work by Wang and Xu [Discrete Math. 310 (2010)] suggests that most cospectral graphs with cospectral complements can be constructed…
Convolution sums are introduced and special instances of the cyclic convolution on finite sets is examined in more detail. The distributions that emerge are multidimensional generalizations of the Catalan and Narayana numbers. This work…
We present an algorithm to compute the Hecke operators on the equivariant cohomology of an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_n$. This includes $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field or a finite-dimensional…
We consider the demixing problem of two (or more) high-dimensional vectors from nonlinear observations when the number of such observations is far less than the ambient dimension of the underlying vectors. Specifically, we demonstrate an…
In this paper, we study moduli spaces of representations of certain quivers with relations. For quivers without relations and other categories of homological dimension one, a lot of information is known about the cohomology of their moduli…
A new generalized cyclic symmetric structure in the factor matrices of polyadic decompositions of matrix multiplication tensors for non-square matrix multiplication is proposed to reduce the number of variables in the optimization problem…
We use available measurements to estimate the unknown parameters (variance, smoothness parameter, and covariance length) of a covariance function by maximizing the joint Gaussian log-likelihood function. To overcome cubic complexity in the…
