Real algebraic geometry provides certificates for the positivity of polynomials on semi-algebraic sets by expressing them as a suitable combination of sums of squares and the defining inequalitites. We show how Putinar's theorem for…

In this paper we investigate graph inverse semigroups which are subsemigroups of compact-like topological semigroups. More precisely, we characterise graph inverse semigroups which admit a compact semigroup topology and describe graph…

This paper is concerned with the factorization and equivalence problems of multivariate polynomial matrices. We present some new criteria for the existence of matrix factorizations for a class of multivariate polynomial matrices, and obtain…

In this note, we study a factorization result for graded decomposition maps associated with the specializations of graded algebras. We obtain results previously known only in the ungraded setting.

We consider (compact or noncompact) Lorentzian manifolds whose holonomy group has compact closure. Among other results, we obtain that this property is equivalent to admitting a parallel timelike vector field. We also derive some properties…

We classify generically transitive actions of semidirect products of an additive and a multiplicative group on the projective plane. Motivated by the program to study the distribution of rational points on del Pezzo surfaces (Manin's…

We introduce categories of weak factorization algebras and factorization spaces, and prove that they are equivalent to the categories of ordinary factorization algebras and spaces, respectively. This allows us to define the pullback of a…

The partition function of a factor graph can sometimes be accurately estimated by Monte Carlo methods. In this paper, such methods are extended to factor graphs with negative and complex factors.

A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…

This article proves the existence of completely positive quasimultiplicative maps from the group algebra of imprimitive reflection groups to the set of bounded operators, and uses those linear maps to define creation and annihilation…

We prove that semialgebraic sets of rectangular matrices of a fixed rank, of skew-symmetric matrices of a fixed rank and of real symmetric matrices whose eigenvalues have prescribed multiplicities are minimal submanifolds of the space of…

The notion of a symmetrically factorizable Lie group is introduced. It is shown that each symmetrically factorizable Lie group is related to a set-theoretical solution of the pentagon equation. Each simple Lie group (after a certain Abelian…

Computer algebra systems are really good at factoring polynomials, i.e. writing f as a product of irreducible factors. It is relatively easy to verify that we have a factorisation, but verifying that these factors are irreducible is a much…

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

We consider the lattice of subsemigroups of the general linear group over an Artinian ring containing the group of diagonal matrices and show that every such semigroup is actually a group.

In this short note, we give a new sufficient condition for a linear map from a product of copies of a field to endomorphisms of a finite dimensional vector space over the same field to be an algebra homomorphism. We expect that this result…

We show that semi-infinite cohomology of a finite dimensional graded algebra (satisfying some additional requirements) are a particular case of a general categorical construction. The motivating example is provided by small quantum groups…

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras which we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of (square or rectangular) matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras…

We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…
