We show the existence of and explicitly construct generic polynomials for various groups, over fields of positive characteristic. The methods we develop apply to a broad class of connected linear algebraic groups defined over finite fields…
We introduce an infinitesimal Hopf algebra of planar trees, generalising the construction of the non-commutative Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra. A non-degenerate pairing and a dual basis are defined, and a combinatorial interpretation of the…
We prove that an infinite block-Toeplitz matrix with finite diagonal support is totally nonnegative if and only if it is the weight matrix of a cylindrical network. This generalizes a well-known theorem of Brenti concerning finite totally…
Given the complement of a hyperplane arrangement, let $\Gamma$ be the closure of the graph of the map inverting each of its defining linear forms. The characteristic polynomial manifests itself in the Hilbert series of $\Gamma$ in two…
We introduce the generic Lah polynomials $L_{n,k}(\phi)$, which enumerate unordered forests of increasing ordered trees with a weight $\phi_i$ for each vertex with $i$ children. We show that, if the weight sequence $\phi$ is…
We show that the Lawrence--Krammer representation is unitary. We explicitly present the non-singular matrix representing the sesquilinear pairing invariant under the action. We show that reversing the orientation of a braid is equivalent to…
We establish a factorisation theorem for invertible, cross-symmetric, totally nonnegative matrices, and illustrate the theory by verifying that certain cases of Holte's Amazing Matrix are totally nonnegative.
The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma is a central tool in probabilistic combinatorics, providing a sufficient condition under which a finite collection of undesirable events with limited dependencies can be simultaneously avoided with positive…
We revisit G. Elek's notion of amenable representation type, where algebras are characterised by every indecomposable module being "almost" the direct sum of modules of bounded dimension. We give a new proof of his result that string…
In this article we describe all possible infinite linear configurations that can be found in a shift of any set of positive upper Banach density. This simultaneously generalizes Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions and the…
We propose a proof for conjectures of Langlands, Shelstad and Waldspurger known as the fundamental lemma for Lie algebras and the non-standard fundamental lemma. The proof is based on a study of the decomposition of the l-adic cohomology of…
We find a class of algebras A satisfying the following property: for every nontrivial noncommutative polynomial, the linear span of all its values in A equals A. This class includes the algebras of all bounded and all compact operators on…
In this paper we give some sufficient conditions for the nonnegativity of immanants of square submatrices of Catalan-Stieltjes matrices and their corresponding Hankel matrices. To obtain these sufficient conditions, we construct new planar…
With the uniform positions we prove theorems of Landau and Hardy-Littlwood type for Goldbach, Chen, Lemoine-Levy and other binary partitions of positive integers. We also pose some new conjectures.
We expand the completeness study instigated in [J. Math. Phys. 50 (2009), 103516, 29 pages] which found all $2\times2$ Lax pairs with non-zero, separable terms in each entry of each Lax matrix, along with the most general nonlinear systems…
We present two hypermatrix formulations of the Cayley Hamilton theorem. One of the proposed formulation naturally extends to hypermatrices the combinatorial interpretations of the classical Cayley Hamilton theorem. We conclude by discussing…
In this paper we shall consider the Lie algebra of column-finite infinite matrices indexed by positive integers $\mathbb{N}$, describe the lattice of its ideals for arbitrary field $K$ and study its derivations over any commutative, unital…
The authors of this article intend to present some results obtained in the study of biderivations of complete Lie algebras. Firstly they present a matricial approach to do this, which was a useful and explanatory tool not only in the study…
We give an alternative proof of a (former) conjecture of Bj\"orner stating that the matrix expressing face numbers in terms of g numbers is totally non-negative. We briefly discuss the case of simple flag polytopes.
Over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic we construct an example of a locally finite variety of Lie algebras which does not have a finite basis of its polynomial identities. As a consequence we construct varieties of Lie algebras…
