This paper gives a classification of classes of discrete dynamical systems (a set equipped with an endofunction) closed under finite limits and small colimits. The conclusion is simple: they bijectively correspond to the ideals of the…
We study toposes of actions of monoids on sets. We begin with ordinary actions, producing a class of presheaf toposes which we characterize. As groundwork for considering topological monoids, we branch out into a study of supercompactly…
Topos theory has been suggested first by Isham and Butterfield, and then by Isham and D\"oring, as an alternative mathematical structure within which to formulate physical theories. In particular it has been used to reformulate standard…
Contrary to the expectation arising from the tanglegram Kuratowski theorem of \'E. Czabarka, L.A. Sz\'ekely and S. Wagner [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 31(3): 1732--1750, (2017)], we construct an infinite antichain of planar tanglegrams with…
A monoid $M$ generated by a set $S$ of symbols can be described as the set of equivalence classes of finite words in $S$ under some relations that specify when some contiguous sequence of symbols can be replaced by another. If $a,b\in S$, a…
We study a non-commutative generalization of Stone duality that connects a class of inverse semigroups, called Boolean inverse $\wedge$-semigroups, with a class of topological groupoids, called Hausdorff Boolean groupoids. Much of the paper…
Let $\chi(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial whose roots are distinct integers. We study the ideal class monoid and the ideal class group of the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(\chi(x))$. We obtain formulas for the orders of these objects, and…
A poset is Macaulay if its partial order and an additional total order interact well. Analogously, a ring is Macaulay if the partial order defined on its monomials by division interacts nicely with any total monomial order. We investigate…
Rowmotion is a certain well-studied bijective operator on the distributive lattice $J(P)$ of order ideals of a finite poset $P$. We introduce the rowmotion Markov chain ${\bf M}_{J(P)}$ by assigning a probability $p_x$ to each $x\in P$ and…
Reflexive polytopes which have the integer decomposition property are of interest. Recently, some large classes of reflexive polytopes with integer decomposition property coming from the order polytopes and the chain polytopes of finite…
We consider the dynamics of a translocation process of a flexible linear polymer through a nanopore into an environment of active rods in the {\it trans} side. Using Langevin dynamics simulations we find that the rods facilitate…
The primary interest of this paper is to discuss the role of twisting cochains in the theory of characteristic classes. We begin with the homological description of monodromy map, associated with a connection on a trivial bundle over a…
We prove that every interval order $P$ with no infinite antichain has a Gallai decomposition. That is, $P$ is a lexicographical sum of proper interval orders over a chain, an antichain or a prime interval order. This is a consequence of the…
We consider a category of all finite partial orderings with quotient maps as arrows and construct a Fra\"iss\'e sequence in this category. Then we use commonly known relations between partial orders and lattices to construct a sequence of…
A one-dimensional rule-based model for flocking, that combines velocity alignment and long-range centering interactions, is presented and studied. The induced cohesion in the collective motion of the self-propelled agents leads to a unique…
It is known that the set of permutations, under the pattern containment ordering, is not a partial well-order. Characterizing the partially well-ordered closed sets (equivalently: down sets or ideals) in this poset remains a wide-open…
Popov classified crystallographic complex reflection groups by determining lattices they stabilize. These analogs of affine Weyl groups have infinite order and are generated by reflections about affine hyperplanes; most arise as the…
We introduce new partial orders on the set $S^+_n$ of positive-definite matrices of dimension $n$ derived from the homogeneous geometry of $S^+_n$ induced by the natural transitive action of the general linear group $GL(n)$. The orders are…
Denote by $V$ the poset consisting of the elements $\{A,B,C\}$ with cover relations $\{A\lessdot B, A\lessdot C\}$. We show that $P$-strict promotion, as defined by Bernstein, Striker, and Vorland, on $P$-strict labelings of $V\times…
