A finite group $G$ is a called a DCI-group if any two isomorphic Cayley digraphs of $G$ are also isomorphic via an automorphism of $G$. If $G$ is a non-abelian generalised dihedral DCI-group, then Dobson, Muzychuk, and Spiga proved that $G$…
Partition functions for non-interacting particles are known to be symmetric functions. It is shown that powerful group-theoretical techniques can be used not only to derive these relationships, but also to significantly simplify calculation…
We show that, for a certain class of partitions and an even number of variables of which half are reciprocals of the other half, Schur polynomials can be factorized into products of odd and even orthogonal characters. We also obtain related…
This expository paper recounts the development and application of the concept of the diffeological groupoid, from its introduction in 1985 to its use in current research. We demonstrate how this single concept has served as a powerful and…
Let $(X,\bullet )$ be a groupoid (binary algebra) and $Bin(X\dot{)}$ denote the collection of all groupoids defined on $X$. We introduce two methods of factorization for this binary system under the binary groupoid product \textquotedblleft…
For a given permutation or set partition there is a natural way to assign a genus. Counting all permutations or partitions of a fixed genus according to cycle lengths or block sizes, respectively, is the main content of this article. After…
A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of…
Groupoidification is a form of categorification in which vector spaces are replaced by groupoids, and linear operators are replaced by spans of groupoids. We introduce this idea with a detailed exposition of 'degroupoidification': a…
A finite group R is a CI-group if, whenever S and T are subsets of R with the Cayley graphs Cay(R,S) and Cay(R,T) isomorphic, there exists an automorphism x of R with S^x=T. The classification of CI-groups is an open problem in the theory…
In this paper we shall be looking at several results relating Schur rings to sufficient conditions for a graph to be a graphical regular representation (GRR) of a finite group, and then applying these specifically in the case of certain…
This paper introduces two matrix analogues for set partitions. A composition matrix on a finite set X is an upper triangular matrix whose entries partition X, and for which there are no rows or columns containing only empty sets. A…
A finite group $G$ is called a DCI-group if two Cayley digraphs over $G$ are isomorphic if and only if their connection sets are conjugate by a group automorphism. We prove that the group $C_2^5\times C_p$, where $p$ is a prime, is a…
The partition algebra is an associative algebra with a basis of set-partition diagrams and multiplication given by diagram concatenation. It contains as subalgebras a large class of diagram algebras including the Brauer, planar partition,…
Good semigroups form a class of submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^d$ containing the value semigroups of curve singularities. In this article, we describe a partition of the complements of good semigroup ideals, having as main application the…
We introduce a notion of a group-partition for a finite Abelian group, which is a generalized notion of the standard partition. To obtain asymptoticdistributions of group-partition, we study the Dirichlet series for group-partitions by…
This is a concise introduction to the theory of Lie groupoids, with emphasis in their role as models for stacks. After some preliminaries, we review the foundations on Lie groupoids, and we carefully study equivalences and proper groupoids.…
In this paper we introduce a family of partitions of the set of natural numbers, Fibonacci-like partitions. In particular, we introduce a Fibonacci-like partition in a number of parts corresponding to the Fibonacci numbers, the standard…
We give a new, systematic proof for a recent result of Larry Guth and thus also extend the result to a setting with several families of varieties: For any integer $D\geq 1$ and any collection of sets $\Gamma_1,\ldots,\Gamma_j$ of low-degree…
Using an algebraic point of view we present an introduction to the groupoid theory, that is, we give fundamental properties of groupoids as, uniqueness of inverses and properties of the identities, and study subgroupoids, wide subgroupoids…
Any Schur ring is uniquely determined by a partition of the elements of the group. In this paper we present a general technique for enumerating Schur rings over cyclic groups using traditional Schur rings. We also survey recent efforts to…
