The paper presents some results for reducing the computation of the M\"obius functon of a M\"obius category that arises from a combinatorial inverse semigroup to that of locally finite partially ordered sets. We illustrate the computation…
By using exclusively real analysis, we give explicit estimates of some classical summatory functions involving the M\"obius function.
M\"obius inversion, originally a tool in number theory, was generalized to posets for use in group theory and combinatorics. It was later generalized to categories in two different ways, both of which are useful. We provide a unifying…
We consider the M\"obius function on the poset of element centers and obtain some new results regarding centralizers in a $p$-group.
Let $B$ be a finite Boolean algebra. Let $\mathcal A$ be the partial order of all implication sublattices of $B$. We will compute the M\"obius function on $\mathcal A$ in two different ways.
We review several known categorification procedures, and introduce a functorial categorification of group extensions with applications to non-abelian group cohomology. Categorification of acyclic models and of topological spaces are briefly…
In important work on the parity of the partition function, Ono related values of the partition function to coefficients of a certain mock theta function modulo 2. In this paper, we use M\"obius inversion to give analogous results which…
This is an introduction to the M\"obius function of a poset. The chief novelty is in the exposition. We show how order-preserving maps from one poset to another can be used to relate their M\"obius functions. We derive the basic results on…
We present several aspects of the "topology of meromorphic functions", which we conceive as a general theory which includes the topology of holomorphic functions, the topology of pencils on quasi-projective spaces and the topology of…
In this brief note the operatorial methods are applied to the study of the Airy function and its generalizations.
This paper studies the M\"obius function and related questions about the finiteness of the poset of submodules of semisimple and general modules. We show how to calculate the M\"obius function for semisimple modules based on endomorphism…
Category theory has become central to certain aspects of theoretical physics. Bain [Synthese, 190:1621--1635 (2013)] has recently argued that this has significance for ontic structural realism. We argue against this claim. In so doing, we…
We develop a cohomological approach to M\"obius inversion using derived functors in the enriched categorical setting. For a poset $P$ and a closed symmetric monoidal abelian category $\mathcal{C}$, we define M\"obius cohomology as the…
We use M\"obius inversion and the Bernoulli polynomials to prove inequalities between the logarithmic summatory function of the M\"obius function and weighted averages of its ordinary summatory function.
We establish nontrivial bounds for bilinear sums involving the M\"obius function evaluated over solutions to a broad class of equations. Several of our results may be regarded as M\"obius-function analogues of the ternary Goldbach problem.…
We study filters in the partition lattice formed by restricting to partitions by type. The M\"obius function is determined in terms of the easier-to-compute descent set statistics on permutations and the M\"obius function of filters in the…
We discuss the concept of Galois structure and Galois epimorphism in a general setting. Namely, a Galois structure for an epimorphism $\pi\colon M\to B$ in some category ${\mathcal C}$ is the action of a group object that gives to $M$ the…
In some previous papers we have obtained characterizations (we called them characterizations of Lambek-Carlitz type) of some class of formal power series. Now, we discuss, investigate and compare these results from a categorial point of…
We introduce M\"obius strip diagram algebras (and their monoid and categorical versions) as subalgebras of a partition-style diagram calculus in which strands may carry handles and M\"obius strip features. We identify the resulting diagram…
A certain amount of category theory is developed in an arbitrary finitely complete category with a factorization system on it, playing the role of the comprehensive factorization system on Cat. Those aspects related to the concepts of…
