Let P be a d-dimensional n-point set. A Tverberg-partition of P is a partition of P into r sets P_1, ..., P_r such that the convex hulls conv(P_1), ..., conv(P_r) have non-empty intersection. A point in the intersection of the conv(P_i)'s…

Let D be a division ring with centre F. Let T(D) be the vector space over F generated by all multiplicative commutators in D. In [1], authors have conjectured that every division ring is generated as a vector space over its centre by all of…

The quantization of vector bundles is defined. Examples are constructed for the well controlled case of equivariant vector bundles over compact coadjoint orbits. (Coadjoint orbits are symplectic spaces with a transitive, semisimple symmetry…

We investigate infinite versions of vector and affine space partition results, and thus obtain examples and a counterexample for a partition problem for relational structures. In particular we provide two (related) examples of an age…

We generalize categories of spatial partitions in the sense of C\'ebron-Weber by introducing new base partitions. This allows us to construct additional examples of free orthogonal quantum groups but yields the same class of spatial…

We construct the space of vector fields on a generic quantum group. Its elements are products of elements of the quantum group itself with left invariant vector fields. We study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms and generalize…

A vector space over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is a set $V$ together with two binary operations, called vector addition and scalar multiplication. It is standard practice to think of a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ as an $n$-dimensional real…

We present a simple, natural #P-complete problem. Let G be a directed graph, and let k be a positive integer. We define q(G;k) as follows. At each vertex v, we place a k-dimensional complex vector x_v. We take the product, over all edges…

We determine the structure of the partition algebra $P_n(Q)$ (a generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra) for specific values of $Q \in \C$, focusing on the quotient which gives rise to the partition function of $n$ site $Q$-state Potts models…

Classically general covariance is found from the idea that a vector is a physical quantity which exists independently of choice of coordinate system and is unchanged by a change of coordinate system. It is often assumed that there exists…

Any subset Q' of the domain Q of a learning space defines a projection of that learning space on Q' which is itself a learning space consistent with the original one. Moreover, such a construction defines a partition of Q having each of its…

Let $V$ be a vector space over the finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$. A $q$-Steiner system, or an $S(t,k,V)_q$, is a collection ${\mathcal B}$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ such that every $t$-dimensional subspace of $V$ is contained in a…

Tverberg's theorem states that any set of $t(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Moreover, generic collections of fewer points cannot be so…

A subspace arrangement in a vector space is a finite collection of vector subspaces. Similarly, a configuration of linear spaces in a projective space is a finite collection of linear subspaces. In this paper we study the degree 2 part of…

All rational parametric curves with prescribed polynomial tangent direction form a vector space. Via tangent directions with rational norm, this includes the important case of rational Pythagorean hodograph curves. We study vector subspaces…

In this paper we introduce a graph structure, called subspace sum graph $\mathcal{G}(\mathbb{V})$ on a finite dimensional vector space $\mathbb{V}$ where the vertex set is the collection of non-trivial proper subspaces of a vector space and…

We propose a definition of partition quantum spaces. They are given by universal $C^*$-algebras whose relations come from partitions of sets. We ask for the maximal compact matrix quantum group acting on them. We show how those fit into the…

We consider the {\em vector partition problem}, where $n$ agents, each with a $d$-dimensional attribute vector, are to be partitioned into $p$ parts so as to minimize cost which is a given function on the sums of attribute vectors in each…

Let $V$ be a real or complex vector space. The finite topology of $V$ consists of all the subsets $U$ for which the intersection $U \cap F$ is closed in $F$ for every finite-dimensional linear subspace of $V$. It is known that if $V$ has…

Let $d, r \in \N$, $\|\cdot\|$ any norm on $\R^d$ and $B$ denote the unit ball with respect to this norm. We show that any sequence $v_1,v_2,...$ of vectors in $B$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsequences $V_1, ..., V_r$ in a balanced…
