We give conditions on a finite set of series of rational numbers to ensure that they are algebraically independent. Specialising our results to polynomials of lower degree, we also obtain new results on irrationality and $mathbb{Q}$-linear…
Under reasonable assumptions, a group action on a module extends to the minimal free resolutions of the module. Explicit descriptions of these actions can lead to a better understanding of free resolutions by providing, for example,…
We define a notion of an arithmetic set in an arbitrary countable group and study properties of these sets in the cases of Abelian groups and non-abelian free groups.
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $\mathbb{K}_{C}[[x_{1},...,x_{e}]]$ be the ring of formal power series in several variables with exponents in a line free cone $C$. We consider irreducible…
We show that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a simple group that is of type $\mathrm{F}_{n-1}$ but not of type $\mathrm{F}_n$. For $n\ge 3$ these groups are the first known examples of this kind. They also provide infinitely…
We study word series and extended word series, classes of formal series for the analysis of some dynamical systems and their discretizations. These series are similar to but more compact than B-series. They may be composed among themselves…
We consider the Noether's problem on the noncommutative real rational functions invariant under the linear action of a finite group. For abelian groups the invariant skew-fields are always rational. We show that for a solvable group the…
In this paper we present a procedure for computing the rational sum of the Hilbert series of a finitely generated monomial right module $N$ over the free associative algebra $K\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n \rangle$. We show that such procedure…
We present a general algorithm for constructing a free resolution for unit groups of orders in semisimple rational algebras. The approach is based on computing a contractible $G$-complex employing the theory of minimal classes of quadratic…
This thesis explores how concepts of formal language theory can be used to study left-orderable groups. It analyses the languages formed by their positive cones and demonstrates how the abstract families of languages (AFLs) in the Chomsky…
We consider the set of affine permutations that avoid a fixed permutation pattern. Crites has given a simple characterization for when this set is infinite. We find the generating series for this set using the Coxeter length statistic and…
Rational twisted power series over a (commutative) field are studied. We give several characterizations of such series, which are similar to the classical results concerning rational power series over a commutative field. In particular, we…
Nested words, a model for recursive programs proposed by Alur and Madhusudan, have recently gained much interest. In this paper we introduce quantitative extensions and study nested word series which assign to nested words elements of a…
A resolution-free definition of rational singularities is introduced, and it is proved that for a variety admitting a resolution of singularities, so in particular in characteristic zero, this is equivalent to the usual definition. It is…
We develop a theory of tensor categories over a field endowed with abstract operators. Our notion of a "field with operators", coming from work of Moosa and Scanlon, includes the familiar cases of differential and difference fields,…
First we construct a free resolution for the Milnor (or Jacobian) algebra $M(f)$ of a complex projective Chebyshev plane curve $\CC_d:f=0$ of degree $d$. In particular, this resolution implies that the dimensions of the graded components…
By representing elements in free fields (over a commutative field and a finite alphabet) using Cohn and Reutenauer's linear representations, we provide an algorithmic construction for the (partial) non-commutative (or Hausdorff-) derivative…
the main theorem gives a sufficient condition for a n elements of SL(2,R) to generate a free group.The idea behind it is to use a nonorientable version of the Dehn-Wolpert-Goldman twist and to sew it with the original representation of a…
Let $k$ be a field, $x_1, \dots, x_n$ be independent variables and $L_n = k(x_1, \dots, x_n)$. The symmetric group $\Sigma_n$ acts on $L_n$ by permuting the variables, and the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_2$ acts by \[…
We introduce an enumeration-free method based on mathematical programming to precisely characterize various properties such as fairness or sparsity within the set of "good models", known as Rashomon set. This approach is generically…
