We introduce and investigate a novel notion of transversely affine foliation, comparing and contrasting it to the previous ones in the literature. We then use it to give an extension of the classic Hadamard's theorem from Riemannian…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $h$ be a positive integer. A $\text{BH}(G,h)$ matrix is a $G$-invariant $|G|\times |G|$ matrix $H$ whose entries are complex $h$th roots of unity such that $HH^*=|G|I_{|G|}$, where $H^*$ denotes the complex…
Given a finite graph G there is a corresponding group given by the presentation with generators the vertices of G and a relation [x,y]=1 for generators x and y precisely when (x,y) is an edge of G. Such groups are known as partially…
In this paper we construct a new, previously unknown four-parameter family of complex Hadamard matrices of order 6, the entries of which are described by algebraic functions of roots of various sextic polynomials. We conjecture that the…
Design methods for paraunitary matrices from complete orthogonal sets of idempotents and related matrix structures are presented. These include techniques for designing non-separable multidimensional paraunitary matrices. Properties of the…
We investigate some properties of topological groups related to disconnectedness or Archimedeanness. We prove or disprove the preservation of those under operations as subgroups, quotients, products, etc. Characterizations of…
Hexagonal circle patterns with constant intersection angles are introduced and studied. It is shown that they are described by discrete integrable systems of Toda type. Conformally symmetric patterns are classified. Circle pattern analogs…
The class of strictly sign regular (SSR) matrices has been extensively studied by many authors over the past century, notably by Schoenberg, Motzkin, Gantmacher, and Krein. A classical result of Gantmacher-Krein assures the existence of SSR…
A new class of canonical forms is given proposed in which $(A, C)$ is in Hessenberg observer or Schur form and output normal: $\bf{I} - A^*A =C^*C$. Here, $C$ is the $d \times n$ measurement matrix and $A$ is the advance matrix. The $(C,…
In joint work of the author with Stefan Witzel, a procedure was developed for building new examples of groups in the extended family of R. Thompson's groups, using what we termed \emph{cloning systems}. These new Thompson-like groups can be…
We construct several families of embeddings of braid groups into mapping class groups of orientable and non-orientable surfaces and prove that they induce the trivial map in stable homology in the orientable case, but not so in the…
It is well-known that plane partitions, lozenge tilings of a hexagon, perfect matchings on a honeycomb graph, and families of non-intersecting lattice paths in a hexagon are all in bijection. In this work we consider regions that are more…
We study which signs can occur among Hamiltonian circles in simple plane signed graphs. Using a face-based viewpoint, we relate the sign of a Hamiltonian circle to the product of the signs of the faces inside it, and we introduce…
The Mn-matrix was defined by Mohan [20] in which he has shown a method of constructing (1,-1)-matrices and studied some of their properties. The (1,-1)-matrices were constructed and studied by Cohn [5],Wang [33], Ehrlich [8] and Ehrlich and…
We characterize higher rank model geometries -- Riemannian symmetric spaces, Euclidean buildings and products -- among Hadamard spaces by using antipodal sets at infinity.
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
We determine the structure of automorphism groups of finite graphs of bounded Hadwiger number. Our proof includes a structural analysis of finite edge-transitive graphs. In particular, we show that for connected, $K_{h+1}$-minor-free,…
A $\{1,-1\}$-matrix $H$ of order $m$ is a Hadamard matrix if $HH^T=mI_m$, where $T$ is the transposition operator and $I_m$ the identity matrix of order $m$. J. Hadamard published his paper on Hadamard matrices in 1893. Five years later,…
This paper presents an algorithmic method for generating random orthogonal matrices \(A\) that satisfy the property \(A^t S A = S\), where \(S\) is a fixed real invertible symmetric or skew-symmetric matrix. This method is significant as it…
This article focuses on the study of the group of units of incidence rings, which is a class of infinite matrix groups indexed by ordered sets, on a topological perspective. We first show when these groups can inherit the topological…
