In [3], Hanaki defined the Terwilliger algebras of association schemes over a commutative unital ring. In this paper, we call the Terwilliger algebras of association schemes over a field $\mathbb{F}$ the Terwilliger $\mathbb{F}$-algebras of…

We describe a semidefinite programming framework for proving upper bounds on concrete sifting problems, and show that the Large Sieve can be interpreted as a special case of this framework. With a small tweak, the Larger Sieve also falls…

We give a spectral algorithm for decomposing overcomplete order-4 tensors, so long as their components satisfy an algebraic non-degeneracy condition that holds for nearly all (all but an algebraic set of measure $0$) tensors over…

Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a real closed field. We prove that for any fixed $d$, the equivariant rational cohomology groups of closed symmetric semi-algebraic subsets of $\mathrm{R}^k$ defined by polynomials of degrees bounded by $d$ vanishes in…

We develop a symmetry-aware toolkit for finite mixtures whose components are only identifiable up to a finite \emph{folding} group action. The correct estimand is the multiset of parameter orbits in the quotient space, not an ordered list…

Connecting orbits are important invariant structures in the state space of nonlinear systems and various techniques are designed for their computation. However, a uniform analytic approximation of the whole orbit seems rare. Here, based on…

Let M(n, d) be the maximum size of a permutation array on n symbols with pairwise Hamming distance at least d. We use various combinatorial, algebraic, and computational methods to improve lower bounds for M(n, d). We compute the Hamming…
