The number of equations needed to cut out a variety given by an ideal is called the arithmetic rank (of the ideal). It was shown in [8] that the notion of arithmetic rank is strongly related to the concept of regular sequences on the Matlis…
We consider various properties and manifestations of some sign-alternating univariate polynomials borne of right-triangular integer arrays related to certain generalizations of the Fibonacci sequence. Using a theory of the root geometry of…
We provide a characterization of almost ordinary abelian varieties over finite fields, and use this characterization to provide lower bounds for the sizes of some almost ordinary isogeny classes.
We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…
The paper concerns the classification problem of a subclass of complex filiform Leibniz algebras in dimensions 7 and 8. This subclass arises from naturally graded filiform Lie algebras. We give a complete list of isomorphism classes of…
In this paper, we prove a number of results providing either necessary or sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the number of real roots of real polynomials of a given degree is either less or greater than a given number. We also provide…
We describe and study the loci equidistant from finitely many points in the so-called complex hyperbolic geometry, i.e., in the geometry of a holomorphic $2$-ball $\Bbb B$. In particular, we show that the bisectors (= the loci equidistant…
We study the algebraic varieties defined by the conditional independence statements of Bayesian Networks. A complete algebraic classification is given for Bayesian Networks on at most five random variables. Hidden variables are related to…
Let $c_1(x),c_2(x),f_1(x),f_2(x)$ be polynomials with rational coefficients. With obvious exceptions, there can be at most finitely many roots of unity among the zeros of the polynomials $c_1(x)f_1(x)^n+c_2(x)f_2(x)^n$ with $n=1,2\ldots$.…
We study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear and quadratic polynomial coefficients. We show that the set of non-isolated limits of zeros of the polynomials is the closure of…
We classify, up to isomorphism, all gradings by an arbitrary abelian group on simple finitary Lie algebras of linear transformations (special linear, orthogonal and symplectic) on infinite-dimensional vector spaces over an algebraically…
We classify the RBA-bases of $6$-dimensional noncommutative semisimple algebras for which the algebra has a positive degree map. We show that these RBAs are parametrized by seven real numbers, the first four of which are positive and the…
We survey various classical results on invariants of polynomials, or equivalently, of binary forms, focussing on explicit calculations for invariants of polynomials of degrees 2, 3, 4.
We study the limits of inductive sequences (A_i,\phi_i) where each A_i is a direct sum of full matrix algebras over compact metric spaces and each partial map of \phi_i is diagonal. We give a new characterisation of simplicity for such…
Classical invariants for representations of one Lie group can often be related to invariants of some other Lie group. Physics suggests that the right objects to consider for these questions are certain refinements of classical invariants…
Over algebraically closed fields of characteristic p>2, prolongations of the simple finite dimensional Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras with Cartan matrix are studied for certain simplest gradings of these algebras. Several new simple Lie…
In Linear Algebra over finite fields, a characteristic-dependent linear rank inequality is a linear inequality that holds by ranks of subspaces of a vector space over a finite field of determined characteristic, and does not in general hold…
A partial order is called semilinear iff the upper bounds of each element are linearly ordered and any two elements have a common upper bound. There exists, up to isomorphism, a unique countable existentially closed semilinear order, which…
We consider varieties generated by finite closure algebras whose canonical relations have two levels, and whose restriction to a level is an "extremal" relation, i.e. the identity or the universal relation. The corresponding logics have…
We discuss the Waring rank of binary forms of degree 4 and 5, without multiple factors, and point out unexpected relations to the harmonic cross-ratio, j-invariants and the golden ratio. These computations of ranks for binary forms are used…
