A matching from a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group to another subset $B$ is a bijection $f:A\rightarrow B$ with the property that $a+f(a)$ never lies in $A$. A matching is called acyclic if it is uniquely determined by its multiplicity…
The origins of the notion of matchings in groups spawn from a linear algebra problem proposed by E. K. Wakeford [24] which was tackled in 1996 [10]. In this paper, we first discuss unmatchable subsets in abelian groups. Then we formulate…
In this paper, we define locally matchable subsets of a group which is extracted from the concept of matchings in groups and used as a tool to give alternative proofs for existing results in matching theory. We also give the linear analogue…
We present sufficient conditions for the existence of matchings in abelian groups and their linear counterparts. These conditions lead to extensions of existing results in matching theory. Additionally, we classify subsets within abelian…

A theory of matchings for finite subsets of an abelian group, introduced in connection with a conjecture of Wakeford on canonical forms for homogeneous polynomials, has since been extended to the setting of field extensions and to that of…
A matching from a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group $G$ to another subset $B$ is a bijection $f : A \to B$ such that $af(a) \notin A$ for all $a \in A$. The study of matchings began in the 1990s and was motivated by a conjecture of E.…
In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for the existence of matchings in arbitrary groups and its linear analogue, which lead to some generalizations of the existing results in the theory of matchings in groups and central extensions…
The question of finding sets of monomials which are removable from a generic homogeneous polynomial through a linear change in its variables was raised by E. K. Wakeford in 1916. This linear algebra question motivated J. Losonczy to define…
We formulate and prove matroid analogues of results concerning matchings in groups. A matching in an abelian group $(G,+)$ is a bijection $f:A\to B$ between two finite subsets $A,B$ of $G$ satisfying $a+f(a)\notin A$ for all $a\in A$. A…
This paper develops matroidal analogues of classical results on matchings in abelian groups. By embedding matroid ground sets in an abelian group, we introduce base matchings between matroid bases, recover the group-theoretic setting in the…
The notion of acyclic matching property was provided by Losonczy and it was proved that torsion-free groups admit this property. In this paper, we introduce a duality of acyclic matching as a tool for classification of some Abelian groups,…
The concept of matchings originated in group theory to address a linear algebra problem related to canonical forms for symmetric tensors. In an abelian group $(G,+)$, a matching is a bijection $f: A \to B$ between two finite subsets $A$ and…
In this paper, we formulate and prove linear analogues of results concerning matchings in groups. A matching in a group G is a bijection f between two finite subsets A,B of G with the property, motivated by old questions on symmetric…
A matching from a finite subset $A\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ to another subset $B\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ is a bijection $f : A \rightarrow B$ with the property that $a+f(a)$ never lies in $A$. A matching is called acyclic if it is uniquely…
The purpose of this note is to give a number of open problems on matching theory and their relation to the well-known results in this area. We also give a linear analogue of the acyclic matchings.
The inquiry into identifying sets of monomials that can be eliminated from a generic homogeneous polynomial via a linear change of coordinates was initiated by E. K. Wakeford. This linear algebra problem prompted C. K. Fan and J. Losonczy…
We develop the rudiments of a finite-dimensional representation theory of groups over idempotent semifields by considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. This can be considered a tropical representation theory, a characteristic…
The bracket map was originally considered for locally compact abelian groups. In this work we extend the study of bracket maps to the noncommutative setting, providing characterizations of bases and frames for cyclic subspaces of the…
We investigate linearity of amalgams of subgroups of algebraic groups along intersections with algebraic subgroups. In the process, we establish linearity of certain "doubles" of linear groups, and obtain new examples of finitely generated…
