Let $q>2$, and let $a$ and $b$ be two elements of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $a\ne 0$. Carlitz represented the transposition $(0a)$ by a polynomial of degree $(q-2)^3$. In this note, we represent the transposition $(ab)$ by a…

In this paper we consider the state complexity of an operation on formal languages, root(L). This naturally entails the discussion of the monoid of transformations of a finite set. We obtain good upper and lower bounds on the state…

Prolongations of a group extension can be studied in a more general situation that we call group extensions of the co-type of a crossed module. Cohomology classification of such extensions is obtained by applying the obstruction theory of…

We put a Quillen model structure on the category of small categories enriched in simplicial $k$-modules and non-negatively graded chain complexes of $k$-modules, where $k$ is a commutative ring. The model structure is obtained by transfer…

In this paper we study extensions between finite-dimensional simple modules over classical Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n), \mathfrak{osp}(M|2n)$ and $\mathfrak{q}_m$. We consider a simplified version of the extension graph which is…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…

Pursuing a generalization of group symmetries of modular categories to category symmetries in topological phases of matter, we study linear Hopf monads. The main goal is a generalization of extension and gauging group symmetries to category…

We find a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree q-2 over a finite field Fq, which has q elements, in terms of the permanent of a matrix. We write down an expression for the number of permutation polynomials of degree…

We prove that, up to adding a complement, every modular representation of a finite group admits a finite resolution by permutation modules.

Semi-direct products of finite groups have permutation representations that are constructed from the permutation representations of their constituents. One can envision these in a metaphoric sense in which a rope is made from a bundle of…

For a subshift over a finite alphabet, a measure of the complexity of the system is obtained by counting the number of nonempty cylinder sets of length $n$. When this complexity grows exponentially, the automorphism group has been shown to…

The simplicial extension of any functor from Sets to Sets which commutes with directed colimits takes weak equivalences to weak equivalences. The goal of the present paper is construct a framework which can be used to proof results of this…

We study simple and projective modules of a certain class of Ehresmann semigroups, a well-studied generalization of inverse semigroups. Let $S$ be a finite right (left) restriction Ehresmann semigroup whose corresponding Ehresmann category…

For any algebraically closed field $K$ and any endomorphism $f$ of $\mathbb{P}^1(K)$ of degree at least 2, the automorphisms of $f$ are the M\"obius transformations that commute with $f$, and these form a finite subgroup of…

We show that if the complexity difference function p(n+1)-p(n) of a infinite minimal shift is bounded, then the the automorphism group of the one-sided shift is finite, and the automorphism group of the corresponding two-sided shift "modulo…

We raise the question of the realizability of permutation modules in the context of Kahn's realizability problem for abstract groups and the $G$-Moore space problem. Specifically, given a finite group $G$, we consider a collection…

We introduce the notion of pure extending modules, a refinement of classical extending modules in which only pure submodules are required to be essential in direct summands. Fundamental properties and characterizations are established,…

We consider the problem of characterizing the class of those permutation groups that are the symmetry groups of Boolean functions. These are exactly the automorphism groups of hypergraphs. They are also called the relation groups. In this…

We connect the homotopy type of simplicial moduli spaces of algebraic structures to the cohomology of their deformation complexes. Then we prove that under several assumptions, mapping spaces of algebras over a monad in an appropriate…

The complexity of a homogeneous space $G/H$ under a reductive group $G$ is by definition the codimension of generic orbits in $G/H$ of a Borel subgroup $B\subseteq G$. We give a representation-theoretic interpretation of this number as the…
