This paper introduces combinatorial representations, which generalise the notion of linear representations of matroids. We show that any family of subsets of the same cardinality has a combinatorial representation via matrices. We then…

We provide conditions under which a modular function defined on a semilattice $X$ and with values in a commutative group is homomorphic to a modular function on a lattice $L$ for any embedding $X\hookrightarrow L$.

We derive two types of representation results for increasing convex functionals in terms of countably additive measures. The first is a max-representation of functionals defined on spaces of real-valued continuous functions and the second a…

We define eventually symmetric functions to be those power series of bounded degree in infinitely many variables that are invariant under interchanging all the variables with large enough indices. We show how this ring $\tilde{\Lambda}$ is…

We consider faithful projective actions of a cocompact lattice of SL(2,R) on the projective plane, with the following property: there is a common fixed point, which is a saddle fixed point for every element of infinite order of the the…

We introduce a notion of positive definiteness for functions $f\!:P\to\mathbb{R}$ defined on meet semilattices $(P,\preceq,\wedge)$ and prove several properties for these functions. In addition, we utilize the $LDL^{\rm T}$ decomposition of…

This work deals with the homogenization of functionals with linear growth in the context of $\mathcal{A}$-quasiconvexity. A representation theorem is proved, where the new integrand function is obtained by solving a cell problem where the…

We propose a unified view of the polarity of functions, that encompasses all specific definitions, generalizes several well-known properties and provides new results. We show that bipolar sets and bipolar functions are isomorphic lattices.…

In this paper, we completely classify homogeneous production functions with an arbitrary number of inputs whose production hypersurfaces are flat. As an immediate consequence, we obtain a complete classification of homogeneous production…

This paper studies ways to represent an ordered topological vector space as a space of continuous functions, extending the classical representation theorems of Kadison and Schaefer. Particular emphasis is put on the class of semisimple…

We characterize real functions $f$ on an interval $(-\alpha,\alpha)$ for which the entrywise matrix function $[a_{ij}] \mapsto [f(a_{ij})]$ is positive, monotone and convex, respectively, in the positive semidefiniteness order. Fractional…

We study representations of groups by "affine" automorphisms of compact, convex spaces, with special focus on "irreducible" representations: equivalently "minimal" actions. When the group in question is PSL(2,R), we exhibit a one-one…

We show that any periodic with respect to normal subgroups (of the group representation of the Cayley tree) of finite index $p$-harmonic function is a constant. For some normal subgroups of infinite index we describe a class of…

Two simple observations are made: (1) If the normal function associated to a Hodge class has a zero locus of positive dimension, then it has a singularity. (2) The intersection cohomology of the dual variety contains the cohomology of the…

It is well-known that pseudo functors from bicategories of spans are equivalent to Beck-Chevalley bifibrations, and therefore capture the relationships underlying the adjunctions suitable as semantics for existential quantification. This…
