This paper presents a classification of locally $2$-homogeneous designs, extending Kantor's classification of 2-transitive symmetric designs (1985).
In earlier work, the author classified rigid representations of a quiver by finitely generated free modules over a principal ideal ring. Here we extend the results to representations of a quiver by finitely generated projective modules over…
Does a given a set of polyominoes tile some rectangle? We show that this problem is undecidable. In a different direction, we also consider tiling a cofinite subset of the plane. The tileability is undecidable for many variants of this…
In this note we give applications of recent results coming mostly from the third paper of this series. It is shown that the number of irreducible characters in a $p$-block of a finite group with abelian defect group $D$ is bounded by $|D|$…
Let R be a discrete valuation ring (DVR) and K be its fraction field. If M is a matrix over R admitting a LU decomposition, it could happen that the entries of the factors L and U do not lie in R, but just in K. Having a good control on the…
It is proved that certain types of modular cusp forms generate irreducible automorphic representation of the underlying algebraic group. Analogous archimedean and non-archimedean local statements are also given.
Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…
A unimodular $2\times 2$ matrix $A$ with entries in a commutative ring $R$ is called weakly determinant liftable if there exists a matrix $B$ congruent to $A$ modulo $R\det(A)$ and $\det(B)=0$; if we can choose $B$ to be unimodular, then…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for invertibility of symmetric three-by-three block matrices having a double saddle-point structure \fb{that guarantee the unique solvability of double saddle-point systems}. We consider…
We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…
Let A be an algebra in a variety V. We study the modulization of a pointed A-overalgebra P, show that it is totally in any variety that P is totally in, and apply this theory to the construction of the enveloping ringoid Z[A,V].
We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…
Double circulant matrices are introduced and studied. A formula to compute the rank r of a double circulant matrix is exhibited; and it is shown that any consecutive r rows of the double circulant matrix are linearly independent. As a…
We consider the groups of regular circulant matrices over finite fields and integer residue class rings. In both cases we present a formula for the order of these groups. We also make a first step towards finding the algebraic structure of…
For any real diagonalizable matrix with complex eigenvalues we provide a real, coordinate free decomposition with a clear geometric interpretation.
Rings with Nakayama permutations, pseudo-Frobenius and Frobenius rings in particular, are studied by applying the general theory of formal matrix rings to their Peirce decompositions. A combinatorial criterion is given to decide whether a…
We study the decomposition matrices for the unipotent $\ell$-blocks of finite special unitary groups SU$_n(q)$ for unitary primes $\ell$ larger than $n$. Up to very few unknown entries, we give a complete solution for $n=2,\ldots,10$. We…
A commutative associative algebra A with an identity over the field of real numbers which has a basis, where all elements are invertible, is considered in the work. Moreover, among matrixes consisting of the structure constants of A, there…
In this paper, we construct self-dual codes from a construction that involves 2x2 block circulant matrices, group rings and a reverse circulant matrix. We provide conditions whereby this construction can yield self-dual codes. We construct…
The Replica Fourier Transform introduced previously is related to the standard definition of Fourier transforms over a group. Its use is illustrated by block-diagonalizing the eigenvalue equation of a four-replica Parisi matrix.
