There are three families of bivariate polynomial maps associated with the rank-$2$ simple complex Lie algebras $A_2, B_2 \cong C_2$ and $G_2$. It is known that the bivariate polynomial map associated with $A_2$ induces a permutation of…
New heterotic modular invariants are found using the level-rank duality of affine Kac-Moody algebras. They provide strong evidence for the consistency of an infinite list of heterotic Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) conformal field theories. We…
It is shown that an idea proposed in 1996 that relates in a qualitatively correct way the inter-family mass hierarchies of the up quarks, down quarks, charged leptons, and neutrinos, can be combined with a predictive scheme recently…
Let $W$ be a domain in a connected complex manifold $M$ and $w_0\in W$. Let ${\mathcal A}_{w_0}(W,M)$ be the space of all continuous mappings of a closed unit disk $\overline D$ into $M$ that are holomorphic on the interior of $\overline…
The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…
We study the moduli of the universal geometry of $d=4$ $N=1$ heterotic vacua. Universal geometry refers to a family of heterotic vacua fibered over the moduli space. The universal geometry mimics aspects of the original heterotic vacua, in…
In previous work, the authors have each introduced methods for studying the 2-line of the p-local Adams-Novikov spectral sequence in terms of the arithmetic of modular forms. We give the precise relationship between the congruences of…
We classify a one-parameter family, $\mathfrak{confcarr}_z(d+1)$, of conformal extensions of the Carroll algebra in arbitrary dimension with $z$ being the anisotropic scaling exponent. We further obtain their infinite-dimensional…
In this paper, as part of a project initiated by A. Mallios consisting of exploring new horizons for \textit{Abstract Differential Geometry} ($\grave{a}$ la Mallios), \cite{mallios1997, mallios, malliosvolume2, modern}, such as those…
In this article we provide a combinatorial sufficient (and conjecturally, necessary) condition (called $\alpha$-symmetry) for the mating of two postcritically finite polynomials in $\mathcal{S}_1$ to be obstructed. To do this, we study the…
We say that a collection Gamma of geodesics in the hyperbolic plane H^2 is a modular pattern if Gamma is invariant under the modular group PSL_2(Z), if there are only finitely many PSL_2(Z)-equivalence classes of geodesics in Gamma, and if…
Permutation polynomials (PPs) of the form $(x^{q} -x + c)^{\frac{q^2 -1}{3}+1} +x$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ were presented by Li, Helleseth and Tang [Finite Fields Appl. 22 (2013) 16--23]. More recently, we have constructed PPs of the form…
A central question in arrangement theory is to determine whether the characteristic polynomial $\Delta_q$ of the algebraic monodromy acting on the homology group $H_q(F(\mathcal{A}),\mathbb{C})$ of the Milnor fiber of a complex hyperplane…
We find a one-parameter family of polynomial Hamiltonian system in two variables with $W({A}^{(1)}_1)$-symmetry. We also show that this system can be obtained by the compatibility conditions for the linear differential equations in three…
We study the modular representation theory of rank $3$ association schemes arising from partial geometries with parameters $(s,t,\alpha)$. First, we obtain an explicit closed formula for the Frame number of the point scheme in terms of the…
In 1983, Conway-Gordon showed that for every spatial complete graph on 6 vertices, the sum of the linking numbers over all of the constituent 2-component links is congruent to 1 modulo 2, and for every spatial complete graph on 7 vertices,…
Given an associative, not necessarily commutative, ring R with identity, a formal matrix calculus is introduced and developed for pairs of matrices over R. This calculus subsumes the theory of homogeneous systems of linear equations with…
A Thurston map is a branched covering map $f\colon S^2\to S^2$ that is postcritically finite. Mating of polynomials, introduced by Douady and Hubbard, is a method to geometrically combine the Julia sets of two polynomials (and their…
The notion of quadratic maps between arbitrary groups appeared at several places in the literature on quadratic algebra. Here a unified extensive treatment of their properties is given; the relation with a relative version of Passi's…
