We construct a sequence of rank 3 distributions on $n$-dimensional manifolds for any $n\geq 7$ such that the dimension of their symmetry group grows exponentially in $n$ (more precisely it is equal to $\operatorname{Fib}_{n-1}+n+2$, where…
A Universal Cycle for t-multisets of [n]={1,...,n} is a cyclic sequence of $\binom{n+t-1}{t}$ integers from [n] with the property that each t-multiset of [n] appears exactly once consecutively in the sequence. For such a sequence to exist…
We give a description of the intersection of the zero set with the unit sphere of a zero-free polynomial in the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^n$. This description leads to the formulation of a conjecture regarding the characterization of…
An exchangeable random matrix is a random matrix with distribution invariant under any permutation of the entries. For such random matrices, we show, as the dimension tends to infinity, that the empirical spectral distribution tends to the…
We prove a number of results, new and old, about the cycle type of a random permutation on S_n. Underlying our analysis is the idea that the number of cycles of size k is roughly Poisson distributed with parameter 1/k. In particular, we…
Cyclic orbit codes are a family of constant dimension codes used for random network coding. We investigate the Pl\"ucker embedding of these codes and show how to efficiently compute the Grassmann coordinates of the code words.
The P\'olya urn scheme is a discrete-time process concerning the addition and removal of colored balls. There is a known embedding of it in continuous-time, called the P\'olya process. We deal with a generalization of this stochastic model,…
We find an exact formula for the number of directed 5-cycles in a tournament in terms of its edge score sequence. We use this formula to find both upper and lower bounds on the number of 5-cycles in any $n$-tournament. In particular, we…
We prove some basic results for a dynamical system given by a piecewise linear and contractive map on the unit interval that takes two possible values at a point of discontinuity. We prove that there exists a universal limit cycle in the…
Both Cuckler and Yuster independently conjectured that when $n$ is an odd positive multiple of $3$ every regular tournament on $n$ vertices contains a collection of $n/3$ vertex-disjoint copies of the cyclic triangle. Soon after, Keevash…
A bicirculant is a regular graph that admits a semi-regular automorphism with two vertex-orbits of the same size. By $m$ we denote the size of vertex-orbits and by $d$ the valence of a bicirculant. Furthermore, we denote by $s$ the valence…
A $k$-majority digraph is a directed graph created by combining $k$ individual rankings on the same ground set to form a consensus where edges point in the direction indicated by a strict majority of the rankings. The $k$-majority digraph…
In this paper, we study permutations $\pi \in S_n$ with exactly $m$ transpositions. In particular, we are interested in the expected value of $\pi(1)$ when such permutations are chosen uniformly at random. When $n$ is even, this expected…
We define the notions of disjoint unions and products for generalised P\'olya urns, proving that this turns the set of isomorphism classes of urns into a commutative semiring. The set of square matrices up to similarity by a permutation…
The flow field studied was eight strongly impinging, radially injected jets, into a non-swirling mainstream flow in a cylindrical duct. Our previous paper (Heat Mass Transf. (2020) 56:2285-2302), showed that asymmetry in the solution is…
We consider a system of urns of Polya-type, with balls of two colors; the reinforcement of each urn depends both on the content of the same urn and on the average content of all urns. We show that the urns synchronize almost surely, in the…
We study the statistics of Hamiltonian cycles on various families of bicolored random planar maps (with the spherical topology). These families fall into two groups corresponding to two distinct universality classes with respective central…
An urn scheme is a probabilistic model in which balls are placed into urns sequentially and independently of each other. All balls share the same probability distribution for hitting the urns. In the simplest case, there is a finite number…
In this work we introduce a new type of urn model with infinite but countable many colors indexed by an appropriate infinite set. We mainly consider the indexing set of colors to be the $d$-dimensional integer lattice and consider balanced…
Consider a permutation $\sigma\in S_n$ as a deck of cards numbered from 1 to $n$ and laid out in a row, where $\sigma_j$ denotes the number of the card that is in the $j$-th position from the left.\rm\ We define two cyclic to random…
