This is the fourth paper in a series. We prove a conjecture made independently by Boston et al and Shalev. The conjecture asserts that there is an absolute positive constant delta such that if G is a finite simple group acting transitively…
Given a family $\mathcal{F}=\{A_1,\dots,A_s\}$ of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, define $\Delta \mathcal{F}$ to be the multiset of all (cyclic) distances dist$(x,y)$, where $\{x,y\} \subset A_i$, $x \neq y$, for some $i=1,\dots,s$. Taking…
Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group, written additively, and let $A,\ B$ be nonempty subsets of $G$. We will say that $G= A+B$ is a \textit{factorization} if for each $g$ in $G$ there are unique elements $a,\ b$ of $G$ such that $g=a+b, \ a\in…
The modular discriminant $\Delta$ is known to structure the sequence of modular forms $(M_{2k}(SL_2(\mathbb{Z})))_{k\in \; \mathbb{N}^*}$ at level $1$.\\ For all positive integer $N$, we define a strong modular unit $\Delta_N$ at level $N$…
The alpha-determinant unifies and interpolates the notion of the determinant and permanent. We determine the irreducible decomposition of the cyclic module of $gl_n(C)$ defined by the alpha-determinant. The degeneracy of the irreducible…
We first study commutative, pointed monoids providing basic definitions and results in a manner similar commutative ring theory. Included are results on chain conditions, primary decomposition as well as normalization for a special class of…
We show, for a finitely generated partially cancellative torsion-free commutative monoid $M$, that $K_i(R) \cong K_i(R[M])$ whenever $i \le -d$ and $R$ is a quasi-excellent $\Q$-algebra of Krull dimension $d \ge 1$. In particular,…
For the distance function from any closed subset of any complete Finsler manifold, we prove that the singular set is equal to a countable union of delta-convex hypersurfaces up to an exceptional set of codimension two. In addition, in…
Let $\beta\equiv\beta^{(2n)}$ be an N-dimensional real multi-sequence of degree 2n, with associated moment matrix $\mathcal{M}(n)\equiv \mathcal{M}(n)(\beta)$, and let $r:=rank \mathcal{M}(n)$. We prove that if $\mathcal{M}(n)$ is positive…
The catenary degree of an element $n$ of a cancellative commutative monoid $S$ is a nonnegative integer measuring the distance between the irreducible factorizations of $n$. The catenary degree of the monoid $S$, defined as the supremum…
Irreducible decompositions of monomial ideals in polynomial rings over a field are well-understood. In this paper, we investigate decompositions in the set of monomial ideals in the semigroup ring A[\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^d] where A is an…
We show that the Subgroup distance problem regarding the Hamming distance, the Cayley distance and the $l_\infty$ distance is NP-complete when the input group is cyclic. When we restrict the $l_\infty$ distance to fixed values we show that…
By classical results of Malcev, cancellative monoids need not be group-embeddable. In this paper, we describe and give presentations for and study an infinite family $\mathcal{M}_n$ of cancellative monoids which are not group-embeddable,…
We prove that the factorization of a saturated fusion system over a discrete $p$-toral group as a product of indecomposable subsystems is unique up to normal automorphisms of the fusion system and permutations of the factors. In particular,…
We consider properties of extensions of Krull domains such as flatness that involve behavior of extensions and contractions of prime ideals. Let (R,m) be an excellent normal local domain with field of fractions K, let y be a nonzero element…
Several papers in the recent literature have studied factorization properties of affine monoids using the monoid's Betti elements. In this paper, we extend this study to more general rings and monoids. We open by demonstrating the issues…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, and $\delta :\mathcal{I(R)}\rightarrow\mathcal{I(R)}$ be an ideal expansion where $\mathcal{I(R)}$ the set of all ideals of $R$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of…
We study a class of first-order theories whose complete quantifier-free types with one free variable either have a trivial positive part or are isolated by a positive quantifier-free formula--plus a few other technical requirements. The…
In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of rings calling them {\it weakly $\Delta U$-rings}, hereafter abbreviated as {\it $W\Delta U$-rings} for short. A ring $R$ is said to be $W\Delta U$ if every unit of $R$ can be expressed as…
Given integer $n > 0$ and $m > 1$, we call a partition of set $[n] = \{1, \dots, n\}$ {\em $m$-good} if each of the partitioning sets is of size at most $m$ and the sum of numbers in it is a power of $m$, that is, $m^t$ for some $t \geq 0$.…
