The rook polynomial is a generating function that enumerates the number of ways to place rooks, with no two in the same row or column, on a collection of cells regarded as a pruned chessboard. In combinatorial commutative algebra, special…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of characteristic $p$ and order $q$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic rational integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Given two positive…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

We put recent results by Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley and Yan on crossings and nestings of matchings and set partitions in the larger context of the enumeration of fillings of Ferrers shape on which one imposes restrictions on their increasing…

We discuss the problem posed by Bender, Coley, Robbins and Rumsey of enumerating the number of subspaces which have a given profile with respect to a linear operator over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We solve this problem in the case…

Fully bracketed implication terms on $n$ variables are evaluated in G\"odel $m$-valued logic on a finite chain, and we enumerate truth-table rows by output value across all Catalan bracketings. Using the Catalan decomposition, we derive a…

Theorem 1.2.6 of [ATW20] provides a relatively functorial logarithmic principalization of ideals on relative logarithmic orbifolds $X\to B$ in characteristic 0, relying on a delicate monomialization theorem for Kummer ideals. The paper…

Under the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, any integer $n>1$ can be uniquely written as a product of prime powers $p^a$; factoring each exponent $a$ as a product of prime powers $q^b$, and so on, one will obtain what is called the tower…

In [1] M. Baker and S. Norine developed a theory of divisors and linear systems on graphs, and proved a Riemann-Roch Theorem for these objects (conceived as integer-valued functions on the vertices). In [2] and [3] the authors generalized…

Let $F_Q$ be the set of Farey fractions of order $Q$. Given the integers $\d\ge 2$ and $0\le \c \le \d-1$, let $F_Q(c,d)$ be the subset of $F_Q$ of those fractions whose denominators are $\equiv c \pmod d$, arranged in ascending order. The…

In 1986 Harer and Zagier computed a certain matrix integral to determine an influential closed-form formula for the number of (orientable) one-face maps on n vertices colored from N colors. Kerov (1997) provided a proof which computed the…

We use a coarse version of the fundamental group first introduced by Barcelo, Kramer, Laubenbacher and Weaver to show that box spaces of finitely presented groups detect the normal subgroups used to construct the box space, up to…

In this paper, we consider plane partitions $\text{PP}(\lambda; m)$ of a given shape $\lambda$, with entries at most $m$. We prove that the distributions of two statistics on $\text{PP}(\lambda; m)$ coincide: one is the number of rows…

In this paper we study the behavior of the fractions of a factorial design under permutations of the factor levels. We focus on the notion of regular fraction and we introduce methods to check whether a given symmetric orthogonal array can…

The theory of lifting classes and the Reidemeister number of single-valued maps of a finite polyhedron $X$ is extended to $n$-valued maps by replacing liftings to universal covering spaces by liftings with codomain an orbit configuration…

A Ferrers rook graph is a graph whose vertices correspond to the dots in a Ferrers diagram, and where two vertices are adjacent if they are in the same row or the same column. We propose a conjectural formula for the gonality of Ferrers…

We prove a general Fueter Theorem over real alternative *-algebras. We show that a suitable power of the Laplacian maps Dunkl-regular functions to Dunkl monogenic functions with axial symmetries. Using the embedding of hypercomplex function…

In 2009, Etzion and Siberstein proposed a conjecture on the largest dimension of a linear space of matrices over a finite field in which all nonzero matrices are supported on a Ferrers diagram and have rank bounded below by a given integer.…

Motivated by coding applications,two enumeration problems are considered: the number of distinct divisors of a degree-m polynomial over F = GF(q), and the number of ways a polynomial can be written as a product of two polynomials of degree…

We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…
