Brualdi and Ma found a connection between involutions of length $n$ with $k$ descents and symmetric $k\times k$ matrices with non-negative integer entries summing to $n$ and having no row or column of zeros. From their main theorem they…
We consider algebras over a field K defined by a presentation K <x_1,..., x_n : R >, where $R$ consists of n choose 2 square-free relations of the form x_i x_j = x_k x_l with every monomial x_i x_j, i different from j, appearing in one of…
Recently the second named author discovered a combinatorial identity in the context of vertex representations of quantum Kac-Moody algebras. We give a direct and elementary proof of this identity. Our method is to show a related identity of…
We show the intimate connection between various mathematical notions that are currently under active investigation: a class of Garside monoids, with a "nice" Garside element, certain monoids $S$ with quadratic relations, whose monoidal…
We investigate gcd-monoids, which are cancellative monoids in which any two elements admit a left and a right gcd, and the associated reduction of multifractions (arXiv:1606.08991 and 1606.08995), a general approach to the word problem for…
By the theorems of Cayley and Vagner-Preston, the full transformation monoids and the symmetric inverse monoids play analogous roles in the theory of monoids and inverse monoids, as the symmetric groups do in the theory of groups. Every…
The purpose of this note is to study some algebraic properties of irreducible ideals of monoids. We establish relations between irreducible, prime, and semiprime ideals. We explore some properties of irreducible ideals in local, Noetherian,…
In investigating the properties of a certain class of homogeneous polynomials, we discovered an identity satisfied by their coefficients which involves simple 2F1 Gauss hypergeometric functions. This result appears to be new and we supply a…
We show that it is co-NP-hard to check whether a given semigroup identity holds in the twisted Brauer monoid $\mathcal{B}^\tau_n$ with $n\ge5$.
Let $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma, \dots$ $\Theta$, $\Psi, \dots$ $R$, $S$, $T, \dots$ be variables for, respectively, congruences, tolerances and reflexive admissible relations. Let juxtaposition denote intersection. We show that if the…
In this work we consider monoids as algebras with an associative binary operation and the nullary operation that fixes the identity element. We found an example of two varieties of monoids with finite subvariety lattices such that their…
A monoid is aperiodic if all its subgroups are trivial. We completely classify all varieties of aperiodic monoids whose subvariety lattice is distributive.
We give explicit formulae and study the combinatorics of an identity holding in all Rota-Baxter algebras. We describe the specialization of this identity for a couple of examples of Rota-Baxter algebras.
In this paper, near-miss identities for the number of representations of some integral ternary quadratic forms with congruence conditions are found and proven. The genus and spinor genus of the corresponding lattice cosets are then…
We show that being finitely presentable and being finitely presentable with solvable word problem are quasi-isometry invariants of finitely generated left cancellative monoids. Our main tool is an elementary, but useful, geometric…
In this paper we derive some interesting identities arising from the orhtogonality of gegenbauer polynomials.
This work provides explicit characterizations and formulae for the minimal polynomials of a wide variety of structured $4\times 4$ matrices. These include symmetric, Hamiltonian and orthogonal matrices. Applications such as the complete…
We investigate the notion of soficity for monoids. A group is sofic as a group if and only if it is sofic as a monoid. All finite monoids, all commutative monoids, all free monoids, all cancellative one-sided amenable monoids, all…
A restatement of the Algebraic Dichotomy Conjecture, due to Maroti and McKenzie, postulates that if a finite algebra A possesses a weak near-unanimity term, then the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem is tractable. A binary…
Inspired by methods in prime characteristic in commutative algebra, we introduce and study combinatorial invariants of seminormal monoids. We relate such numbers with the singularities and homological invariants of the semigroup ring…
