Let $V$ be a set of isolated points in $\RR^d$. Define a linear functional $\CL$ on the space of real polynomials restricted on $V$, $\CL f = \sum_{x \in V} f(x)\rho(x)$, where $\rho$ is a nonzero function on $V$. Polynomial subspaces that…

Let G be a group, F a field of prime characteristic p and V a finite-dimensional FG-module. Let L(V) denote the free Lie algebra on V regarded as an FG-submodule of the free associative algebra (or tensor algebra) T(V). For each positive…

The V-systems are special finite sets of covectors which appeared in the theory of the generalized Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations. Several families of V-systems are known but their classification is an open problem. We…

Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a module over the polynomial ring $\mathbb K[x,y]$. The actions of $x$ and $y$ determine linear operators $P$ and $Q$ on $V$ as a vector space over $\mathbb…

Base on some simple facts of Hadamard product, characterizations of positive definite preserving linear transformations on real symmetric matrix spaces with an additional assumption "$\ra T(E_{ii})=1, i=1,2,..., n$" or "$T(A)>0\to A> 0$",…

We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…

This paper is a modern exposition of old ideas. The setting is a Euclidian space $E$ of dimension $n$ with associated vector space $V$ of dimension $n$. A (non-zero) sliding vector is a vector in $V$ that is free to move, but only within a…

In this paper, we shall give a way to construct a graded Lie algebra $L(\mathfrak{g},\rho,V,{\cal V},B_0)$ from a standard pentad $(\mathfrak{g},\rho,V,{\cal V},B_0)$ which consists of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ which has a non-degenerate…

Let $R=C[[t]]$ be the ring of power series over an algebraically closed field $C$ of characteristic zero. We show that each connection on a finite flat $R((x))$-module is the sum of a regular singular connection and a diagonalizable…

Let $\Theta=(\theta_{j,k})_{3\times 3}$ be a non-degenerate real skew-symmetric $3\times 3$ matrix, where $\theta_{j,k}\in [0,1).$ For any $\varepsilon>0$, we prove that there exists $\delta>0$ satisfying the following: if $v_1,v_2,v_3$ are…

Let $V$ be a set of vertices on a circumference in the plane. Let $E$ be a set of directed line segments linking two vertices of $V$. If $E$ forms a set of closed cycles and for all two adjacent edges $uv$ and $vw$, the vertices $u$, $v$,…

We prove two results about transforming any convex polyhedron, modeled as a linkage L of its edges. First, if we subdivide each edge of L in half, then L can be continuously flattened into a plane. Second, if L is equilateral and we again…

Denote by $\lambda K_v$ the complete graph of order $v$ with multiplicity $\lambda$. Let $\lambda K_v-\lambda K_w-\lambda K_u$ be the graph obtained from $\lambda K_v$ by the removal of the edges of two vertex disjoint complete…

Veldkamp polygons are certain graphs $\Gamma=(V,E)$ such that for each $v\in V$, $\Gamma_v$ is endowed with a symmetric anti-reflexive relation $\equiv_v$. These relations are all trivial if and only if $\Gamma$ is a thick generalized…

We introduce a percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \geq 3$, in which the discrete lines of vertices that are parallel to the coordinate axis are entirely removed at random and independently of each other. In this way a vertex belongs to…
