The role of the topology and its relation with the geometry of biopolymers under different physical conditions is a nontrivial and interesting problem. Aiming at understanding this issue for a related simpler system, we use Monte Carlo…

We study numerically the tightness of prime flat knots in a model of self-attracting polymers with excluded volume. We find that these knots are localised in the high temperature swollen regime, but become delocalised in the low temperature…

We continue the study of quantum A-polynomials -- equations for knot polynomials with respect to their coloring (representation-dependence) -- as the relations between different links, obtained by hanging additional ``simple'' components on…

We introduce the combinatorial notion of a $q$-fatorization graph intended as a tool to study and express results related to the classification of prime simple modules for quantum affine algebras. These are directed graphs equipped with…

We use numerical simulations to study tangentially active flexible ring polymers with different knot topologies. Simple, unknotted active rings display a transition from an extended phase to a collapsed one upon increasing the degree of…

We study by Monte Carlo simulations and scaling analysis two models of pairs of confined and dense ring polymers in two dimensions. The pair of ring polymers are modelled by squared lattice polygons confined within a square cavity and they…

Natural numbers can be divided in two non-overlapping infinite sets, primes and composites, with composites factorizing into primes. Despite their apparent simplicity, the elucidation of the architecture of natural numbers with primes as…

We enumerate factorisations of the complete bipartite graph into spanning semiregular graphs in several cases, including when the degrees of all the factors except one or two are small. The resulting asymptotic behaviour is seen to…

We introduce a two-dimensional lattice model for the description of knotted polymer rings. A polymer configuration is modeled by a closed polygon drawn on the square diagonal lattice, with possible crossings describing pairs of strands of…

The N distinct prime numbers that make up a composite number M allow $2^{N-1}$ bi partioning into two relatively prime factors. Each such pair defines a pair of conjugate representations. These pairs of conjugate representations, each of…

We propose a novel combinatorial algorithm for efficient generation of Hamiltonian walks and cycles on a cubic lattice, modeling the conformations of lattice toy proteins. Through extensive tests on small lattices (allowing complete…

We discuss interrelations between: Cohn localizations of full square matrices; a Leavitt localization of a row; and the Jacobson quasi-inverses of quasi-regular elements. The latter Jacobson localizations appear naturally and easily in…

In this article we study decreasing and increasing factorisations of the cycle, which are decompositions of the cycle $(1~2\dots n)$ into a product of $n-1$ transpositions satisfying monotonicity conditions. We explicit a bijection between…

Factorizations over cones and their duals play central roles for many areas of mathematics and computer science. One of the reasons behind this is the ability to find a representation for various objects using a well-structured family of…

Graded rings provide a natural algebraic framework for encoding symmetry via decompositions into homogeneous components indexed by a group, together with multiplication rules reflecting the group operation. Among graded rings, strongly…

We study jamming in model freely rotating polymers as a function of chain length $N$ and bond angle $\theta_0$. The volume fraction at jamming, $\phi_J(\theta_0)$, is minimal for rigid-rod-like chains ($\theta_0 = 0$), and increases…

We present a novel phenomenological theory describing how topological constraints in prime-knot ring polymers induce collective (cooperative) modes of motion. In low-complexity knots, chain segments can move quasi-independently. However, as…
