The computational function of a matchgate is represented by its character matrix. In this article, we show that all nonsingular character matrices are closed under matrix inverse operation, so that for every $k$, the nonsingular character…
We consider the factorisation problem for bialgebras: when a bialgebra $K$ factorises as $K=HL$, where $H$ and $L$ are algebras and coalgebras (but not necessarly bialgebras). Given two maps $R: H\ot L\to L\ot H$ and $W:L\ot H\to H\ot L$,…
Non-unique factorizations theory, which started in algebraic number theory, over the years has expanded into several areas of mathematics. Here, we propose yet another branching. We show that some concepts of factorizations theory, such as…
Hard scattering in a strongly absorptive regime requires a novel nonlinear k_t -- factorization. Here we discuss two recent developments: firstly the evaluation of radiative corrections to single particle spectra, and secondly an extension…
Let $C$ be a simply laced generalized Cartan matrix. Given an element $b$ of the generalized braid semigroup related to $C$, we construct a collection of mutation-equivalent quivers with potentials. A quiver with potential in such a…
Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term truncated $L_\infty$ algebra giving rise to a fundamental…
A convergent algorithm for nonnegative matrix factorization with orthogonality constraints imposed on both factors is proposed in this paper. This factorization concept was first introduced by Ding et al. with intent to further improve…
The canonical quantization of the chiral Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) monodromy matrices (both the diagonal and the general one) requires additional numerical factors that can be attributed to renormalization. We discuss, for G=SU(n),…
We construct the quadratic analogue of the boson Fock functor. While in the first order case all contractions on the 1--particle space can be second quantized, the semigroup of contractions that admit a quadratic second quantization is much…
Suppose $k$ is a nonarchimedean local field, $K$ is a maximally unramified extension of $k$, and $\mathbf{G}$ is a connected reductive $k$-group. In this paper we provide parameterizations via Bruhat-Tits theory of: the rational conjugacy…
Two matrices are said non-overlapping if one of them can not be put on the other one in a way such that the corresponding entries coincide. We provide a set of non-overlapping binary matrices and a formula to enumerate it which involves the…
A graph $G$ is factored into graphs $H$ and $K$ via a matrix product if there exist adjacency matrices $A$, $B$, and $C$ of $G$, $H$, and $K$, respectively, such that $A = BC$. In this paper, we study the spectral aspects of the matrix…
A well-known fact in linear algebra is that $A^T A$ is always positive semi-definite for any real matrix $A$. We consider a generalization of this fact via the following decision problem. Given a symbolic product of length $k$, consisting…
A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{M}$ is logmodular (resp. has factorization) if the set $\{a^*a; a\text{ is invertible with }a,a^{-1}\in\mathcal{A}\}$ is dense in (resp. equal to) the set of all positive and…
A $1$-factorization of the complete multigraph $\lambda K_{2n}$ is said to be indecomposable if it cannot be represented as the union of $1$-factorizations of $\lambda_0 K_{2n}$ and $(\lambda-\lambda_0) K_{2n}$, where $\lambda_0<\lambda$.…
We define the totally nonnegative matroid Schubert variety $\mathcal Y_V$ of a linear subspace $V \subset \mathbb R^n$. We show that $\mathcal Y_V$ is a regular CW complex homeomorphic to a closed ball, with strata indexed by pairs of…
Birkhoff's theorem tells that any doubly stochastic matrix can be decomposed as a weighted sum of permutation matrices. A similar theorem reveals that any unitary matrix can be decomposed as a weighted sum of complex permutation matrices.…
We extend the notion of representation of a matroid to algebraic structures that we call skew partial fields. Our definition of such representations extends Tutte's definition, using chain groups. We show how such representations behave…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is an additively-closed set of non-negative integers, and a factorization of an element $n$ of $S$ is an expression of $n$ as a sum of generators of $S$. It is known that for a given numerical semigroup $S$, the…
We introduce categories of weak factorization algebras and factorization spaces, and prove that they are equivalent to the categories of ordinary factorization algebras and spaces, respectively. This allows us to define the pullback of a…
