Let K denote an algebraically closed field with characteristic 0. Let V denote a vector space over K with finite positive dimension and let A,B denote a tridiagonal pair on V. We make an assumption about this pair. Let q denote a nonzero…

We provide a complete characterization of pairs of full-rank lattices in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ which admit common connected fundamental domains of the type $N\left[ 0,1\right) ^{d}$ where $N$ is an invertible matrix of order $d.$ Using our…

Let $M$ be a 3-connected matroid, and let $N$ be a 3-connected minor of $M$. A pair $\{x_1,x_2\} \subseteq E(M)$ is $N$-detachable if one of the matroids $M/x_1/x_2$ or $M \backslash x_1 \backslash x_2$ is both 3-connected and has an…

A recurrence relation is said to have the Laurent property if all of its iterates are Laurent polynomials in the initial values with integer coefficients. We consider a family of nonlinear recurrences with the Laurent property, which were…

We first summarize the basic structure of the outer distribution module of a completely regular code. Then, employing a simple lemma concerning eigenvectors in association schemes, we propose to study the tightest case, where the indices of…

In this article, we construct matrices associated to Pachner $\frac{n-1}{2}$-$\frac{n-1}{2}$ moves for odd $n$ and matrices associated to Pachner $(\frac{n}{2}-1)$-$\frac{n}{2}$ moves for even $n$. The entries of these matrices are rational…

In this note we investigate the existence of flat orthogonal matrices, i.e. real orthogonal matrices with all entries having absolute value close to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Entries of $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ correspond to Hadamard matrices,…

Let $F$ be a field and let $F \langle X \rangle$ be the free unital associative algebra over $F$ freely generated by an infinite countable set $X = \{x_1, x_2, \dots \}$. Define a left-normed commutator $[a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n]$ recursively…

Pairs (A,B) of mutually annihilating operators AB=BA=0 on a finite dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field were classified by Gelfand and Ponomarev [Russian Math. Surveys 23 (1968) 1-58] by method of linear relations.…

We consider the (symmetric) Pascal matrix, in its finite and infinite versions, and prove the existence of symmetric tridiagonal matrices commuting with it by giving explicit expressions for these commuting matrices. This is achieved by…

We prove that the following statements are equivalent: a linear matrix equation with parameters forming a commuting set of diagonalizable matrices is consistent, a certain matrix constructed with the Drazin inverse is a solution of this…

If a noncommutative polynomial $f$ is neither an identity nor a central polynomial of $\mathcal A=M_n(\C)$, then every trace zero matrix in $\mathcal A$ can be written as a sum of two matrices from $f(\mathcal A)-f(\mathcal A)$. Moreover,…

Kantor pairs, (quadratic) Jordan pairs, and similar structures have been instrumental in the study of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie algebras and algebraic groups. We introduce the notion of an operator Kantor pair, a generalization of Kantor…

Let $M_n(\mathbb{F})$ denote the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic different from $2$. For $n \ge 2$, we classify all maps $\phi : M_n(\mathbb{F}) \to M_n(\mathbb{F})$…

The positive part $U^+_q$ of $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ has a presentation with two generators $W_0$, $W_1$ and two relations called the $q$-Serre relations. The algebra $U^+_q$ contains some elements, said to be alternating. There are…

The goal of this paper is to generalize the theory of triangularizing matrices to linear transformations of an arbitrary vector space, without placing any restrictions on the dimension of the space or on the base field. We define a…

The existence of sufficiently many finite order meromorphic solutions of a differential equation, or difference equation, or differential-difference equation, appears to be a good indicator of integrability. In this paper, we investigate…
