We develop a notion of cell decomposition suitable for studying weak p- adic structures (reducts of p-adic fields where addition and multiplication are not (everywhere) definable). As an example, we apply this to a language with restricted…
The rook monoid $R_n$ is the finite monoid whose elements are the 0-1 matrices with at most one nonzero entry in each row and column. The group of invertible elements of $R_n$ is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_n$. The natural…
We give $\operatorname{CMSO}$-transductions that, given a graph $G$, output its modular decomposition, its split decomposition and its bi-join decomposition. This improves results by Courcelle [Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2006] who…
The mechanical behaviour and symmetry-breaking shape deformation of red blood cells subjected to shear flows is used to demonstrate that far from being random fluids, both the membrane and cytoplasm of every biological cell undergo…
Let k be a local field and let A be the two-by-two matrix algebra over k. In our previous work we developed a theory that allows the computation of the set of maximal orders in A containing a given suborder. This set is given as a sub-tree…
In this paper we investigate Murre's conjecture on the Chow--K\"unneth decomposition for two classes of examples. We look at the universal families of smooth curves over spaces which dominate the moduli space $\cM_g$, in genus at most 8 and…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive subgroup of a complex connected reductive group $\hat{G}$. We are interested in the branching problem. Fix maximal tori and Borel subgroups of $G$ and $\hat G$. Consider the cone $lr(G,\hat G)$ generated by…
Derived decompositions of abelian categories are introduced in internal terms of abelian subcategories to construct semi-orthogonal decompositions (or Bousfield localizations, or hereditary torsion pairs) in various derived categories of…
Voronoi cells of a discrete set in Euclidean space are known as generalized polyhedra. We identify polyhedral cells of a discrete set through a direction cone. For an arbitrary set we distinguish polyhedral from non-polyhedral cells using…
We define the notion of a separable element in a finite Weyl group, generalizing the well-studied class of separable permutations. We prove that the upper and lower order ideals in weak Bruhat order generated by a separable element are…
A split of a polytope $P$ is a (regular) subdivision with exactly two maximal cells. It turns out that each weight function on the vertices of $P$ admits a unique decomposition as a linear combination of weight functions corresponding to…
One can develop the basic structure theory of linear algebraic groups (the root system, Bruhat decomposition, etc.) in a way that bypasses several major steps in the standard development, including the self-normalizing property of Borel…
Let G be a reductive complex algebraic group and V a finite-dimensional G-module. From elements of the invariant algebra C[V]^G we obtain by polarization elements of C[kV]^G, where k\geq 1 and kV denotes the direct sum of k copies of V. For…
In this work, we refine recent results on the explicit construction of polynomial algebras associated with commutants of subalgebras in enveloping algebras of Lie algebras by considering an additional grading with respect to the subalgebra.…
We study a reduct L\ast of the ring language where multiplication is restricted to a neighbourhood of zero. The language is chosen such that for p-adically closed fields K, the L\ast-definable subsets of K coincide with the semi-algebraic…
The boolean elements of a Coxeter group have been characterized and shown to possess many interesting properties and applications. Here we introduce "prism permutations," a generalization of those elements, characterizing the prism…
We observe that the join operation for the Bruhat order on a Weyl group agrees with the intersections of Verma modules in type $A$. The statement is not true in other types, and we propose a conjectural statement of a weaker correspondence.…
Let A be an abelian variety and let us fix a Weil cohomology with coefficients in F. Let $H^1(A,F)$ be the first cohomology group of A and $Lef(A) \subset GL(H^1(A,F))$ be its Lefschetz group, i.e. the sub-group of $GL(H^1(A,F))$ of linear…
We study the decomposability of Specht modules labelled by bihooks, bipartitions with a hook in each component, for the Iwahori--Hecke algebra of type $B$. In all characteristics, we determine a large family of decomposable Specht modules,…
In this note, we introduce a class of cell decompositions of PL manifolds and polyhedra which are more general than triangulations yet not as general as CW complexes; we propose calling them PLCW complexes. The main result is an analog of…
