We show that Stieltjes moment sequences are infinitely log-convex, which parallels a famous result that (finite) P\'olya frequency sequences are infinitely log-concave. We introduce the concept of $q$-Stieltjes moment sequences of…

In this paper one construction of composition formations was introduced. This construction contains formations of quasinilpotent groups, $c$-supersoluble groups, groups defined by ranks of chief factors and some new classes of groups. A…

We prove the Banach strong Novikov conjecture for groups having polynomially bounded higher-order combinatorial functions. This includes all automatic groups.

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

For a domain A of characteristic zero, a polynomial f over A[x] is called a strongly residual coordinate if f becomes a coordinate (over A) upon going modulo x, and f becomes a coordinate upon inverting x. We study the question of when a…

The Skolem problem is a long-standing open problem in linear dynamical systems: can a linear recurrence sequence (LRS) ever reach 0 from a given initial configuration? Similarly, the positivity problem asks whether the LRS stays positive…

We construct a new class of finite dimensional indecomposable representations of simple superalgebras which may explain, in a natural way, the existence of the heavier elementary particles. In type I Lie superalgebras sl(m/n) and osp(2/2n),…

In this paper, we generalize classical constructions of skew Hadamard difference families with two or four blocks in the additive groups of finite fields given by Szekeres (1969, 1971), Whiteman (1971) and Wallis-Whiteman (1972). In…

In this paper, we partially solve an open problem, due to J.C. Molluzzo in 1976, on the existence of balanced Steinhaus triangles modulo a positive integer $n$, that are Steinhaus triangles containing all the elements of…

Analogously to de Bruijn sequences, Orientable sequences have application in automatic position-location applications and, until recently, studies of these sequences focused on the binary case. In recent work by Alhakim et al., recursive…

Using dynamics, Furstenberg defined the concept of a central subset of positive integers and proved several powerful combinatorial properties of central sets. Later using the algebraic structure of the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification,…

The classification of separable operator spaces and systems is commonly believed to be intractable. We analyze this belief from the point of view of Borel complexity theory. On one hand we confirm that the classification problems for…

A class of determinants is introduced. Different kind of mathematical objects, such as Fibonacci, Lucas, Tchebychev, Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre polynomials, sums and covergents are represented as determinants from this class. A closed…

Suppose $G$ is an arbitrary additively written primary abelian group with a fixed large subgroup $L$. It is shown that $G$ is (a) summable; (b) $\sigma$-summable;\break (c) a $\Sigma$-group; (d) $p^{\omega+1}$-projective only when so is…

We introduce adequate concepts of expansion of a digraph to obtain a sequential construction of minimal strong digraphs. We characterize the class of minimal strong digraphs whose expansion preserves the property of minimality. We prove…

We introduce signed exceptional sequences as factorizations of morphisms in the cluster morphism category. The objects of this category are wide subcategories of the module category of a hereditary algebra. A morphism $[T]:\mathcal A\to…

A notion of exotic (ordered) configuration spaces of points on a space $X$ was suggested by Yu.~Baryshnikov. He gave equations for the (exponential) generating series of the Euler characteristics of these spaces. Here we consider un-ordered…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…

We give a simpler proof of a result of Hodkinson in the context of a blow and blur up construction argueing that the idea at heart is similar to that adopted by Andr\'eka et all \cite{sayed}. The idea is to blow up a finite structure,…

Ivanov introduced the shape of a Majorana algebra as a record of the $2$-generated subalgebras arising in that algebra. As a broad generalisation of this concept and to free it from the ambient algebra, we introduce the concept of an axet…
