Every finite group $G$ has a normal series each of whose factors is either a solvable group or a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The minimum number of nonsolvable factors attained on all possible such series is called the…

We present a new class of 2d integrable models obtained as perturbations of minimal CFT with W-symmetry by fundamental weight primaries. These models are generalisations of well known $(1,2)$-perturbed Virasoro minimal models. In the large…

Let G be an abelian group and let lambda be the smallest rank of any group whose direct sum with a free group is isomorphic to G. If lambda is uncountable, then G has lambda pairwise disjoint, non-free subgroups. There is an example where…

In this paper, we explore a ring invariant which is closely related to the Davenport constant of a group. In particular, we will calculate this invariant for a certain class of rings of integers and their orders and use it to understand…

Let $\mathbb{A} = (A, +)$ be a (possibly non-commutative) semigroup. For $Z \subseteq A$ we define $Z^\times := Z \cap \mathbb A^\times$, where $\mathbb A^\times$ is the set of the units of $\mathbb{A}$, and $$\gamma(Z) := \sup_{z_0 \in…

The aim of this paper is to establish weighted Hardy type inequality in a broad family of means. In other words, for a fixed vector of weights $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ and a weighted mean $\mathscr{M}$, we search for the smallest number…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be connected complex reductive Lie groups, $G$ semisimple. Let $\Lambda^+$ be the monoid of dominant weights for a positive root system $\Delta^+$, and let $l(w)$ be the length of a Weyl group element $w$. Let…

We generalize the Davenport transform and use it to prove that, for a (possibly non-commutative) cancellative semigroup $\mathbb A = (A, +)$ and non-empty subsets $X,Y$ of $A$ such that the subsemigroup generated by $Y$ is commutative, we…

Given complex numbers $w_1, \ldots, w_n$, we define the weight $w(X)$ of a set $X$ of 0-1 vectors as the sum of $w_1^{x_1} \cdots w_n^{x_n}$ over all vectors $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ in $X$. We present an algorithm, which for a set $X$ defined…

An elementary proof is given for the existence of infinite dimensional abelian subalgebras in quantum W-algebras. In suitable realizations these subalgebras define the conserved charges of various quantum integrable systems. We consider all…

X-codes form a special class of linear maps which were originally introduced for data compression in VLSI testing and are also known to give special parity-check matrices for linear codes suitable for error-erasure channels. In the context…

We study equations in groups G with unique m-th roots for each positive integer m. A word equation in two letters is an expression of the form w(X,A) = B, where w is a finite word in the alphabet {X,A}. We think of A,B in G as fixed…

Two $n$-dimensional vectors $A$ and $B$, $A,B \in \mathbb{R}^n$, are said to be \emph{trivially orthogonal} if in every coordinate $i \in [n]$, at least one of $A(i)$ or $B(i)$ is zero. Given the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube $\{0,1\}^n$, we…

In a wireless sensor network, the virtual backbone plays an important role. Due to accidental damage or energy depletion, it is desirable that the virtual backbone is fault-tolerant. A fault-tolerant virtual backbone can be modeled as a…

Given a simple graph $G$, a weight function $w:E(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$, and an orientation $D$ of $G$, we define $\mu^-(D) = \max_{v \in V(G)} w_D^-(v)$, where $w^-_D(v) = \sum_{u\in N_D^{-}(v)}w(uv)$. We say that $D$ is…

An \emph{additive +$\beta W$ spanner} of an edge weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that for every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$, $d_{H}(u,v) \le d_G(u,v) + \beta W$, where $d_G(u,v)$ is the shortest path length from $u$…

Motivated by the duplication-correcting problem for data storage in live DNA, we study the construction of constant-weight codes in $\ell_1$-metric. By using packings and group divisible designs in combinatorial design theory, we give…

A family of $\omega$-circulant balanced weighing matrices with classical parameters is used for the construction of optimal constant weight codes over an alphabet of size $g+1$ and length $n=(q^m -1)/(q-1)$, where $q$ is an odd prime power,…

Recently it has been discovered that the W-algebras (orbifold of) WD_n can be defined even for negative integers n by an analytic continuation of their coupling constants. In this letter we shall argue that also the algebras WA_{-n-1} can…

It is proved that an irreducible quasifinite $W_\infty$-module is a highest or lowest weight module or a module of the intermediate series; a uniformly bounded indecomposable weight $W_\infty$-module is a module of the intermediate series.…
