Let $PU_n$ denote the projective unitary group of rank $n$, and let $BPU_n$ be its classifying space. We extend our previous results to a description of $H^s(BPU_n;\mathbb{Z})_{(p)}$ for $s<2p+9$ by showing that $p$-primary subgroups of…

We present a fast algorithm for the subset convolution problem: given functions f and g defined on the lattice of subsets of an n-element set N, compute their subset convolution f*g, defined for all S\subseteq N by (f * g)(S) = \sum_{T…

We provide a new approach to studying the moduli space of curves via Morse theory and hyperbolic geometry, by introducing a family of Morse functions on the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$…

We determine the behavior of multiplicative functions vanishing at a positive proportion of prime numbers in almost all short intervals. Furthermore we quantify "almost all" with uniform power-saving upper bounds, that is, we save a power…

We introduce M\"obius functions of higher rank, a new class of arithmetic functions so that the classical M\"obius function is of rank 2. With this idea, we evaluate Dirichlet series on the sum of the reciprocal square of all $r$-free…

The relational complexity of a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ is a measure of the way in which the orbits of $G$ on $\Omega^k$ for various $k$ determine the original action of $G$. Very few precise values of relational complexity…

The M\"obius $(8_4)$ configuration is generalized in a purely combinatorial approach. We consider $(2n_n)$ configurations ${\goth M}_{(n,\varphi)}$ depending on a permutation $\varphi$ in the symmetric group $S_n$. Classes of non-isomorphic…

We prove that that the number p of positive eigenvalues of the connection Laplacian L of a finite abstract simplicial complex G matches the number b of even dimensional simplices in G and that the number n of negative eigenvalues matches…

We classify, up to conjugacy, the finite subgroups of PGL(2,K) of order prime to char(K).

Let $G$ be a finite group and $p^k$ be a prime power dividing $|G|$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called to be $\mathcal{M}$-supplemented in $G$ if there exists a subgroup $K$ of $G$ such that $G=HK$ and $H_iK<G$ for every maximal subgroup…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a set $\Omega$, and suppose $G_{\alpha}\cap G_{\beta}=1$ for some distinct $\alpha, \beta\in\Omega$. The Saxl graph $\Sigma(G)$ of $(G, \Omega)$ is defined as the graph with vertex set $\Omega$,…

In the search for hypercomplex analytic functions on the half-plane, we review the construction of induced representations of the group G=SL(2,R). Firstly we note that G-action on the homogeneous space G/H, where H is any one-dimensional…

A poset is called upper homogeneous (or "upho") if every principal order filter of the poset is isomorphic to the whole poset. We observe that the rank and characteristic generating functions of upho posets are multiplicative inverses of…

Given $g\ge 1$, the number $n(g)$ of numerical semigroups $S \subset \N$ of genus $|\N \setminus S|$ equal to $g$ is the subject of challenging conjectures of Bras-Amor\'os. In this paper, we focus on the counting function $n(g,2)$ of…

Let $P$ be a locally finite poset with the interval space $\Int(P)$, and $R$ a ring with identity. We shall introduce the M\"{o}bius conjugation $\mu^\ast$ sending each function $f:P\to R$ to an incidence function $\mu^\ast(f):\Int(P)\to R$…

For n=1,2,3,... define S(n) as the smallest integer m>1 such that those 2k(k-1) mod m for k=1,...,n are pairwise distinct; we show that S(n) is the least prime greater than 2n-2 and hence the value set of the function S(n) is exactly the…

In this paper, we prove power-saving bounds for the corelation of the M\"obius function with polynomial phases of degree $k$ in function fields $\mathbb{F}_p[t]$, when $p > k$. The proof relies on a new approximation result for phases of…

In this note, we mainly show the analogue of one of Alladi's formulas over $\mathbb{Q}$ with respect to the Dirichlet convolutions involving the M\"{o}bius function $\mu(n)$, which is related to the natural densities of sets of primes by…

We introduce vincular pattern posets, then we consider in particular the quasi-consecutive pattern poset, which is defined by declaring $\sigma \leq \tau$ whenever the permutation $\tau$ contains an occurrence of the permutation $\sigma$ in…

We study several aspects of the M\"{o}bius function, $\mu[\sigma,\pi]$, on the poset of permutations under the pattern containment order. First, we consider cases where the lower bound of the poset is indecomposable. We show that…
