We study a family of symmetric polynomials that we refer to as the Boolean product polynomials. The motivation for studying these polynomials stems from the computation of the characteristic polynomial of the real matroid spanned by the…

We study Muttalib--Borodin ensembles --- particular eigenvalue PDFs on the half-line --- with classical weights, i.e. Laguerre, Jacobi or Jacobi prime. We show how the theory of the Selberg integral, involving also Jack and Schur…

For a not-necessarily commutative ring R we define an abelian group W(R;M) of Witt vectors with coefficients in an R-bimodule M. These groups generalize the usual big Witt vectors of commutative rings and we prove that they have analogous…

Our main goal in this paper is to prove results for Witt vectors in the almost category. We finish with an application to almost purity, in particular offering a new proof for rank one valuation rings.

This paper is a sequel to our previous work, where we proved the ``modularity theorem'' for algebraic Witt vectors over imaginary quadratic fields. This theorem states that, in the case of imaginary quadratic fields $K$, the algebraic Witt…

This paper gives a new and direct construction of the multi-prime big de Rham-Witt complex which is defined for every commutative and unital ring; the original construction by the author and Madsen relied on the adjoint functor theorem and…

Boole polynomials play an important role in the area of number theory, algebra and umbral calculus. In this paper, we investigate some properties of Boole polynomials and consider Witt-type formulas for the Boole numbers and polynomials.…

The standard formulation of a massive Abelian vector field in $2+1$ dimensions involves a Maxwell kinetic term plus a Chern-Simons mass term; in its place we consider a Chern-Simons kinetic term plus a Stuekelberg mass term. In this latter…

In this note we generalize several well known results concerning invariants of finite groups from characteristic zero to positive characteristic not dividing the group order. The first is Schmid's relative version of Noether's theorem. That…

We prove quite general statements about functional equations in any number of variables for the dilogarithms defined by Bloch-Wigner, Rogers, and Coleman, showing that they follow from certain 5-term and 2-term relations in a precise way.…

We use Lazard's universal $\pi$-ring to construct a variation of the $\pi$-typical ramified Witt vector functors, which we call the Lazardian Witt vector functor. We then use the Lazardian Witt vector functor to construct the universal…

Highest weight categories are described in terms of standard objects and recollements of abelian categories, working over an arbitrary commutative base ring. Then the highest weight structure for categories of strict polynomial functors is…

We show that the dual of the Witt vectors on Z_{\geq 0}^n - 0 as defined by Angeltveit, Gerhardt, Hill, and Lindenstrauss represent the functor taking a commutative formal group G to the maps of formal schemes Ahat^n -> G, and that the Witt…

For every commutative ring $A$, one has a functorial commutative ring $W(A)$ of $p$-typical Witt vectors of $A$, an iterated extension of $A$ by itself. If $A$ is not commutative, it has been known since the pioneering work of L. Hesselholt…

A vector composition of a vector $\mathbf{\ell}$ is a matrix $\mathbf{A}$ whose rows sum to $\mathbf{\ell}$. We define a weighted vector composition as a vector composition in which the column values of $\mathbf{A}$ may appear in different…

We introduce a total order and the absolute value function for dual numbers. The absolute value function of dual numbers are with dual number values, and have properties similar to the properties of the absolute value function of real…

In a previous paper Cuntz and Deninger introduced the ring $C(R)$ for a perfect $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra $R$. The ring $C(R)$ is canonically isomorphic to the $p$-typical Witt ring $W(R)$. In fact there exist canonical isomorphisms $\alpha_n…

We study varieties generated by semi-primal lattice-expansions by means of category theory. We provide a new proof of the Keimel-Werner topological duality for such varieties and, using similar methods, establish its discrete version. We…

A big-isotropic structure is a generalization of the notion of Dirac structure, due to Vaisman. We discuss the inverse problem of deciding if a vector field is Hamiltonian having a big-isotropic structure as underlying geometry. In [1] we…

We present two simple descriptions of the denominator vectors of the cluster variables of a cluster algebra of finite type, with respect to any initial cluster seed: one in terms of the compatibility degrees between almost positive roots…
