We present two algorithms for constructing orthonormal bases of rational function vectors with respect to a discrete inner product, and discuss how to use them for a rational approximation problem. Building on the pencil-based formulation…

We consider the ring I_n of polynomial invariants over weighted graphs on n vertices. Our primary interest is the use of this ring to define and explore algebraic versions of isomorphism problems of graphs, such as Ulam's reconstruction…

Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…

We apply a novel method for the equivalence group and its infinitesimal generators to the investigation of invariants of linear ordinary differential equations. First, a comparative study of this method is illustrated by an example. Next,…

$\mathcal{I}$-non-degenerate spaces are spacetimes that can be characterized uniquely by their scalar curvature invariants. The ultimate goal of the current work is to construct a basis for the scalar polynomial curvature invariants in…

There are three main components to this article: (i) A formula for the eta invariant of the signature complex for any finite subgroup of ${\rm{SO}}(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$ is given. An application of this is a non-existence result for…

Let $G$ be a planar $3$-graph (i.e., a planar graph with vertex degree at most three) with $n$ vertices. We present the first $O(n^2)$-time algorithm that computes a planar orthogonal drawing of $G$ with the minimum number of bends in the…

We determine the group of reductive cohomological degree $3$ invariants of all split semisimple groups of types $B$, $C$, and $D$. We also present a complete description of the cohomological invariants. As an application, we show that the…

Milnor's $\bar{\mu}$-invariants of links in the $3$-sphere $S^3$ vanish on any link concordant to a boundary link. In particular, they are trivial on any knot in $S^3$. Here we consider knots in thickened surfaces $\Sigma \times [0,1]$,…

Let $V$ be a symmetric space over a connected reductive Lie algebra $G$, with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and discriminant $\delta\in \mathbb{C}[V]$. A fundamental object is the invariant holonomic system $\mathcal{G} =\mathcal{D}(V)\Big/…

Consider the diagonal action of the projective group $\PGL_3$ on $n$ copies of ${\mathbb P}^2$. In addition, consider the action of the symmetric group $\Sigma_n$ by permuting the copies. In this paper we find a set of generators for the…

We classify all sets of nonzero vectors in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that the angle formed by each pair is a rational multiple of $\pi$. The special case of four-element subsets lets us classify all tetrahedra whose dihedral angles are multiples…

A planar orthogonal drawing $\Gamma$ of a planar graph $G$ is a geometric representation of $G$ such that the vertices are drawn as distinct points of the plane, the edges are drawn as chains of horizontal and vertical segments, and no two…

The symmetric group on 4 letters has the reflection group $D_{3}$ as an isomorphic image. This fact follows from the coincidence of the root systems $A_{3}$ and $D_{3}$. The isomorphism is used to construct an orthogonal basis of…

Let $Y$ be a smooth projective threefold and let $f:Y\to X$ be a birational map with $Rf_*\mathcal{O}_Y=\mathcal{O}_X$. When $Y$ is Calabi-Yau, Bryan-Steinberg defined enumerative invariants associated to such maps called $f$-relative…

The recent notion of $q$-deformed irrational numbers is characterized by the invariance with respect to the action of the modular group $\PSL(2,\Z)$, or equivalently under the Burau representation of the braid group~$B_3$. The theory of…

Our focus is on the set of lower-triangular, infinite matrices that have natural operations like addition, multiplication by a number, and matrix multiplication. With respect to addition this set forms and abelian group while with respect…
