In this paper we define a pair of faithful functors that map isomorphic and isotopic finite-dimensional algebras over finite fields to isomorphic graphs. These functors reduce the cost of computation that is usually required to determine…
Contemporary large models often exhibit behaviors suggesting the presence of low-level primitives that compose into modules with richer functionality, but these fundamental building blocks remain poorly understood. We investigate this…
By generalizing the notion of linearization, a concept originally arising from microlocal analysis and symbolic calculus, to diffeological spaces, we make a first proposal setting for optimization problems in this category. We show how…
Tilings and point sets arising from substitutions are classical mathematical models of quasicrystals. Their hierarchical structure allows one to obtain concrete answers regarding spectral questions tied to the underlying measures and…
Order diagrams are an important tool to visualize the complex structure of ordered sets. Favorable drawings of order diagrams, i.e., easily readable for humans, are hard to come by, even for small ordered sets. Many attempts were made to…
We study systems of linear and semilinear mappings considering them as representations of a directed graph $G$ with full and dashed arrows: a representation of $G$ is given by assigning to each vertex a complex vector space, to each full…
Generalized Pythagoras trees were developed for visualizing hierarchical data, producing organic, fractal-like representations. However, the drawback of the original layout algorithm is visual overlap of tree branches. To avoid such…
Twistor methods provide a powerful tool in the study of harmonic maps and harmonic morphisms. Indeed, their use has enabled us to produce a variety of examples of harmonic morphisms defined on 4-dimensional manifolds, and a complete…
Scaffolds are certain tensors arising in the study of association schemes, and have been (implicitly) understood diagrammatically as digraphs with distinguished "root" nodes and with matrix edge weights, often taken from Bose-Mesner…
Primarily this paper presents an expository report on alternatives to the traditional methods of classifying representations of finite dimensional algebras. Some new results illustrating such alternatives for algebras with only finitely…
Topological transforms have been very useful in statistical analysis of shapes or surfaces without restrictions that the shapes are diffeomorphic and requiring the estimation of correspondence maps. In this paper we introduce two…
Bigraphs are a versatile modelling formalism that allows easy expression of placement and connectivity relations in a graphical format. System evolution is user defined as a set of rewrite rules. This paper presents a practical, yet…
Motivated by questions raised in the preprint [AL20] by Accardi and Lu (private communication), we examine criteria for when the product of two partial isometries between Hilbert spaces is again a partial isometry and we use this to define…
A new methodological approach for the study of topology for shapes made of arrangements of lines, planes or solids is presented. Topologies for shapes are traditionally built on the classical theory of point-sets. In this paper, topologies…
We introduce the bicategory of bialgebras with coverings (which can be thought of as coalgebra-indexed families of morphisms), and provide a motivating application to the transfer of formulas for primitives and antipode. Additionally, we…
This is a survey article for "Handbook of Linear Algebra", 2nd ed., Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2014. An informal introduction to representations of quivers and finite dimensional algebras from a linear algebraist's point of view is given. The…
In this Master of Science Thesis I introduce geometric algebra both from the traditional geometric setting of vector spaces, and also from a more combinatorial view which simplifies common relations and operations. This view enables us to…
Harmonic morphisms are maps between Riemannian manifolds that pull back harmonic functions to harmonic functions. These maps are characterized as horizontally weakly conformal harmonic maps and they have many interesting links and…
In this paper we further the study of arrow algebras, simple algebraic structures inducing toposes through the tripos-to-topos construction, by defining appropriate notions of morphisms between them which correspond to morphisms of the…
Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…
