Let $A=\{a_0,\ldots,a_{n-1}\}$ be a finite set of $n\geq 4$ non-negative relatively prime integers such that $0=a_0<a_1<\cdots<a_{n-1}=d$. The $s$-fold sumset of $A$ is the set $sA$ of integers that contains all the sums of $s$ elements in…

We investigate the solutions of the conjugate equation aya^(-1)=y^e in the symmetric group S_{n}. Here a is a fixed (constant), e is an integer exponent and y is a single unknown permutation (in S_{n}). It turns out that the existence of a…

We initiate a study of determinantal representations with symmetry. We show that Grenet's determinantal representation for the permanent is optimal among determinantal representations respecting left multiplication by permutation and…

We prove that if $\sigma \in S_m$ is a pattern of $w \in S_n$, then we can express the Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak{S}_w$ as a monomial times $\mathfrak{S}_\sigma$ (in reindexed variables) plus a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients.…

Let $d\geq 2$ be an integer. In this paper we study arithmetic properties of the sequence $(H_d(n))_{n\in\N}$, where $H_{d}(n)$ is the number of permutations in $S_{n}$ being products of pairwise disjoint cycles of a fixed length $d$. In…

The alternating-runs polynomial enumerates alternating runs in the symmetric group. There are three formulae for the number of permutations, $R_{n,k}$ in $\mathfrak{S}_n$ with $k$ alternating runs, but all of them are complicated. We show…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

Let m be a fixed positive integer. It is well-known that a permutation $\sigma$ may have one, many, or no mth roots. In this note we provide an explicit expression and a generating function for the number of mth roots of \sigma. Let p_m(n)…

We are going to study the dynamical properties of the rational semigroup $Q_{t}(\mu)$ where $Q_{t}(\mu)= (1-t) \mu * (1- t \mu)^{-1},$ for $t \in [0,1)$, that is defined for $\mu \in \mathcal{P}(G)$, the set of Borel probabilities over $(G,…

The circular peak set of a permutation $\sigma$ is the set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i-1)<\sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. Let $\mathcal{P}_n$ be the set of all the subset $S\subseteq [n]$ such that there exists a permutation $\sigma$ which has the…

An infinite sequence $\alpha$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is $\mu$-distributed w.r.t. a probability map $\mu$ if, for every finite string $w$, the limiting frequency of $w$ in $\alpha$ exists and equals $\mu(w)$. %We raise the question of how…

Given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials $(p_n)_n$ with respect to a positive measure in the real line, we study the real zeros of finite combinations of $K+1$ consecutive orthogonal polynomials of the form $$…

Let $H, K$ be subgroups of the permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ with $K\trianglelefteq G$ and $\sigma$ be a partition of the set of all different prime divisors of $|G/K|$. We prove that in polynomial time (in $n$) one can check $G/K$…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},\ldots , a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \cdots a_{\sigma (n)}$, where…

Fix a finite set $S \subset {GL}(k,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $a_n$ the number of products of matrices in $S$ of length $n$ that are equal to 1. We show that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ is not always P-recursive. This answers a question of…

Following methods used by A. Dugas for investigating derived equivalent pairs of (weakly) symmetric algebras, we apply them in a specific situation, obtaining new deep results concerning iterated mutations of symmetric periodic algebras.…

We show that for any two sets of reals numbers $A=\{a_1,\dots,a_n\}$ and $B=\{b_1,\dots,b_n\}$, the sums of the form $\sum_{i=1}^n a_i\,b_{\pi(i)}$ always take on $\Omega(n^{3})$ distinct values, as we range over all permutations $\pi \in…

For any positive integer $N$, we describe a natural complex representation of the symmetric group $\Sigma_N$ on the vector space spanned by its involutions that contains each irreducible representation exactly once.

We prove a stability version of a general result that bounds the permanent of a matrix in terms of its operator norm. More specifically, suppose $A$ is an $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{C}$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}$), and let $\mathcal{P}$…

We propose construction of a unique and definite metric ($\eta_+$), time-reversal operator (T) and an inner product such that the pseudo-Hermitian matrix Hamiltonians are C, PT, and CPT invariant and PT(CPT)-norm is indefinite (definite).…
