We obtain some existence theorems for periodic solutions to several linear equations involving fractional Laplacian. We also prove that the lower bound of all periods for semilinear elliptic equations involving fractional Laplacian is not…
Tree-like tableaux are objects in bijection with alternative or permutation tableaux. They have been the subject of a fruitful combinatorial study for the past few years. In the present work, we define and study a new subclass of tree-like…
We describe overcommutative varieties of semigroups whose lattice of overcommutative subvarieties satisfies a non-trivial identity or quasiidentity. These two properties turn out to be equivalent.
A weaker form of the multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan is proven for two classes of monomial ideals: quadratic monomial ideals and squarefree monomial ideals with sufficiently many variables relative to the Krull…
We show how topological methods developed in a previous article can be applied to prove new results about topological and homological finiteness properties of monoids. A monoid presentation is called special if the right-hand side of each…
The cyclic shift graph of a monoid is the graph whose vertices are the elements of the monoid and whose edges connect elements that are cyclic shift related. The Patience Sorting algorithm admits two generalizations to words, from which two…
We survey results devoted to the lattice of varieties of monoids. Along with known results, some unpublished results are given with proofs. A number of open questions and problems are also formulated.
We note that S-matrix/conserved charge identities in affine Toda field theories of the type recently noted by Khastgir can be put on a more systematic footing. This makes use of a result first found by Ravanini, Tateo and Valleriani for…
Nondeterministic automata may be viewed as succinct programs implementing deterministic automata, i.e. complete specifications. Converting a given deterministic automaton into a small nondeterministic one is known to be computationally very…
In this note, we give a characterisation in terms of identities of the join of $\mathbf{V}$ with the variety of finite locally trivial semigroups $\mathbf{LI}$ for several well-known varieties of finite monoids $\mathbf{V}$ by using…
In this note we present a method for obtaining a wide class of combinatorial identities. We give several examples, in particular, based on the Gamma and Beta functions. Some of them have already been considered by previously, and other are…
Informally, a homotopy monoid is a monoid-like structure in which properties such as associativity only hold `up to homotopy' in some consistent way. This short paper comprises a rigorous definition of homotopy monoid and a brief analysis…
We give a combinatorial proof of an identity that involves Eulerian numbers and was obtained algebraically by Brenti and Welker (2009). To do so, we study alcoved triangulations of dilated hypersimplices. As a byproduct, we describe the…
Simplicial arrangements are classical objects in discrete geometry. Their classification remains an open problem but there is a list conjectured to be complete at least for rank three. A further important class in the theory of hyperplane…
The tempered spectrum of the similitude groups of non-degenerate symplectic, hermitian, or split orthogonal forms defined over $p$\snug-adic groups of characteristic zero is studied. The components of representations induced from discrete…
We prove the combinatorial property of shortness for freehedra. Note that associahedra, a sibling family of polytopes, are not short.
We prove some combinatorial identities using the Polya urn and the closely related Hoppe urn.
The parastatistics algebra is a superalgebra with (even) parafermi and (odd) parabose creation and annihilation operators. The states in the parastatistics Fock-like space are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the Super…
Starting with a known polynomial identity, we derive two generalizations of Touchard's identity concerning Catalan numbers; one obtained using the Beta function and the other via a connection with Stirling numbers of the second kind. We…
A variety of algebras is called limit if it is non-finitely based but all its proper subvarieties are finitely based. A monoid is aperiodic if all its subgroups are trivial. We classify all limit varieties of aperiodic monoids with…
