P.Lecomte has proposed to take into account the covariant derivatives used to build ordering prescriptions for the naturality of transformation properties and has conjectured that there exists an natural ordering prescription for…

We compare some recent approaches to extending the notions of left- and right-star partial order, introduced for complex matrices in early 90-ies, to bounded linear Hilbert space operators and to certain *-rings, and discuss in more detail…

We prove the linear orbital stability of spectrally stable stationary discrete shock profiles for conservative finite difference schemes applied to systems of conservation laws. The proof relies on an accurate description of the pointwise…

A causal set is a partially ordered set on a countably infinite ground-set such that each element is above finitely many others. A natural extension of a causal set is an enumeration of its elements which respects the order. We bring…

We extend the periodicity of birational rowmotion for rectangular posets to the case when the base field is replaced by a noncommutative ring (under appropriate conditions). This resolves a conjecture from 2014. The proof uses a novel…

The Brownian continuum tree was extensively studied in the 90s as a universal random metric space. One construction obtains the continuum tree by a change of metric from an excursion function (or continuous circle mapping) on $[0,1]$. This…

Let $X^{(2)}$ denote the second symmetric product space of a partially ordered vector space $X$, endowed with the projective cone. A characterization of linear maps $T\colon X^{(2)}\to X^{(2)}$ which preserve the set of all positive…

This article deals with homomorphisms of oriented graphs with respect to push equivalence. Here homomorphisms refer to arc preserving vertex mappings, and push equivalence refers to the equivalence class of orientations of a graph $G$ those…

In this paper we give presentations for the monoid $\mathcal{DP}_n$ of all partial isometries on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and for its submonoid $\mathcal{ODP}_n$ of all order-preserving partial isometries.

In this paper we study the oriented swap process on the positive integers and its asymptotic properties. Our results extend a theorem by Angel, Holroyd, and Romik regarding the trajectories of particles in the finite oriented swap process.…

We define an order polarity to be a polarity $(X,Y,R)$ where $X$ and $Y$ are partially ordered, and we define an extension polarity to be a triple $(e_X,e_Y,R)$ such that $e_X:P\to X$ and $e_Y:P\to Y$ are poset extensions and $(X,Y,R)$ is…

Active hydrodynamic theories are a powerful tool to study the emergent ordered phases of internally driven particles such as bird flocks, bacterial suspension and their artificial analogues. While theories of orientationally ordered phases…

Continuity of the value of the martingale optimal transport problem on the real line w.r.t. its marginals was recently established in Backhoff-Veraguas and Pammer [2] and Wiesel [21]. We present a new perspective of this result using the…

We observe that the existence of sequential and parallel composition supermaps in higher order theories of transformations can be formalised using enriched category theory. Encouraged by relevant examples such as unitary supermaps and…

We show that given a compact minimal system $(X,g)$ and an element $h$ of the topological full group $\tau[g]$ of $g$, then the infinite orbits of $h$ admit a locally constant orientation with respect to the orbits of $g$. We use this to…

We introduce the notion of radical preservation and prove that a radical-preserving homomorphism of left artinian rings of finite projective dimension with superfluous kernel reflects the finiteness of the little finitistic, big finitistic…

Finite-above inverse monoids are a common generalization of finite inverse monoids and Margolis--Meakin expansions of groups. Given a finite-above $E$-unitary inverse monoid $M$ and a group variety $\mathit{U}$, we find a condition for $M$…

We prove the (generalized) principal pivot transform is matrix monotone, in the sense of the L\"owner ordering, under minimal hypotheses. This improves on the recent results of J. E. Pascoe and R. Tully-Doyle, Monotonicity of the principal…

The periodic (ordinal) patterns of a map are the permutations realized by the relative order of the points in its periodic orbits. We give a combinatorial characterization of the periodic patterns of an arbitrary signed shift, in terms of…

We prove that for infinite rank-one transformations satisfying a property called "partial boundedness," the only commuting transformations are powers of the original transformation. This shows that a large class of infinite…
