Following the work of Gao and Xie in [2], we state some properties of the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid. We also give partial answers to a conjecture that states that regular connected matroids are non-degenerate. We link…
For a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, Kawanaka introduced the generalized Gelfand-Graev representations (GGGRs for short) of the finite group $G(\mathbb F_q)$ in the case where $q$ is a…
Gordon introduced a class of matroids $M(n)$, for prime $n\ge 2$, such that $M(n)$ is algebraically representable, but only in characteristic $n$. Lindstr\"om proved that $M(n)$ for general $n\ge 2$ is not algebraically representable if…
We study modules for the divided power algebra $D$ in a single variable over a commutative noetherian ring $k$. Our first result states that $D$ is a coherent ring. In fact, we show that there is a theory of Gr\"obner bases for finitely…
We study a family of complex representations of the group GL(n,O), where O is the ring of integers of a non-archimedean local field F. These representations occur in the restriction of the Grassmann representation of GL(n,F) to its maximal…
Let $M$ be a representable matroid, and $Q, R, S, T$ subsets of the ground set. We prove that, if $M$ is sufficiently large, then there is an element $e$ such that deleting or contracting $e$ preserves both the $Q$-$R$ and the $S$-$T$…
In [36, Section 8], the present author proposed the hypergraph obstruction for the existence of k-regular embeddings. In this paper, we develop the hypergraph obstruction concretely and give some homological obstructions for the k-regular…
From a theory developed by C. Mehl, et al., a theory of the rank one perturbation of Hamiltonian systems with periodic coefficients is proposed. It is showed that the rank one perturbation of the fundamental solution of Hamiltonian system…
This paper lays out the foundations of graded $K$-theory for Leavitt algebras associated with higher-rank graphs, also known as Kumjian-Pask algebras, establishing it as a potential tool for their classification. For a row-finite $k$-graph…
Building on a recent characterization of tope graphs of Complexes of Oriented Matroids (COMs), we tackle and generalize several classical problems in Oriented Matroids (OMs), Lopsided Sets (aka ample set systems), and partial cubes via…
The class of 2-regular matroids is a natural generalisation of regular and near-regular matroids. We prove an excluded-minor characterisation for the class of 2-regular matroids. The class of 3-regular matroids coincides with the class of…
In a number of recent works [6, 7] the authors have introduced and studied a functor $\mathcal{F}_k$ which associates to each loose graph $\Gamma$ -which is similar to a graph, but where edges with $0$ or $1$ vertex are allowed - a…
This is an essay about a certain family of elements in the general linear group GL(d,q) called primitive prime divisor elements, or ppd-elements. A classification of the subgroups of GL(d,q) which contain such elements is discussed, and the…
In this paper we completely describe the unital compressed commuting graph of the ring $\mathcal{M}_3(\mathrm{GF}(p))$ of $3 \times 3$ matrices over the finite prime field $\mathrm{GF}(p)$. To achieve this we combine methods from linear…
The family of 2-level matroids, that is, matroids whose base polytope is 2-level, has been recently studied and characterized by means of combinatorial properties. 2-level matroids generalize series-parallel graphs, which have been already…
In a recent advance towards the Prime $k$-tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if $k$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$, then for an admissible $k$-tuple $\mathcal{H}(x) = \{gx + h_j\}_{j=1}^k$ of linear forms in…
Let $q = p^e \geq 7$ be an odd prime power, and set $A := \mathbb{F}_q[T]$. In this article, we construct an infinite two-parameter family of Drinfeld $A$-modules of rank $3$ such that, for every non-zero prime ideal $\mathfrak{l}$ of $A$,…
We study the model $G_\alpha\cup G(n,p)$ of randomly perturbed dense graphs, where $G_\alpha$ is any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $\alpha n$ and $G(n,p)$ is the binomial random graph. We introduce a general approach for…
As an extension of a classical tree-partition problem, we consider decompositions of graphs into edge-disjoint (rooted-)trees with an additional matroid constraint. Specifically, suppose we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a multiset…
This article is dedicated to the following class of problems. Start with an $N\times N$ Hermitian matrix randomly picked from a matrix ensemble - the reference matrix. Applying a rank-$t$ perturbation to it, with $t$ taking the values $1\le…
