The G\"ollnitz-Gordon-Andrews identities generalize the partition identities discovered independently by H. G\"ollnitz and B. Gordon. In this article, we present a commutative algebra proof of the G\"ollnitz-Gordon-Andrews identities. More…

We prove an interesting identity for the sum of determinants, which is a generalization of the sum of a geometric progression. The proof is quite long and a number of other identities are proved along the way. Some of the more elementary…

In (Kabanets, Impagliazzo, 2004) it is shown how to decide the circuit polynomial identity testing problem (CPIT) in deterministic subexponential time, assuming hardness of some explicit multilinear polynomial family for arithmetical…

In the long paper "Family Blowup formula, Admissible Graphs and the Enumeration of Singular Curves (I)" (appearing in JDG), the author solved the enumeration problem of nodal (or general singular) curve counting on algebraic surfaces by…

We determine minimal Cayley--Hamilton and Capelli identities for matrices over a Grassmann algebra of finite rank. For minimal standard identities, we give lower and upper bounds on the degree. These results improve on upper bounds given by…

A formal computation proving a new operator identity from known ones is, in principle, restricted by domains and codomains of linear operators involved, since not any two operators can be added or composed. Algebraically, identities can be…

This note concerns a one-line diagrammatic proof of the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. We discuss the proof's implications regarding the "core truth" of the theorem, and provide a generalization. We review the notation of trace diagrams and…

Using the action of the Galois group of a normal extension of number fields, we generalize and symmetrize various fundamental statements in algebra and algebraic number theory concerning splitting types of prime ideals, factorization types…

We consider applications of a finitary version of the Affine Representability theorem, which follows from recent work of Belov-Kanel, Rowen, and Vishne. Using this result we are able to show that when given a finite set of polynomial…

The variety of principal minors of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices, denoted $Z_{n}$, is invariant under the action of a group $G\subset \GL(2^{n})$ isomorphic to $\G$. We describe an irreducible $G$-module of degree $4$ polynomials…

The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ real Toeplitz matrix satisfying $A+A^{\top}=2\mathbb J_n$, where $\mathbb J_n$ is the all-ones matrix.If $A_r(i,j)$ denotes the $r\times r$ contiguous submatrix of $A$ consisting of rows $i,i+1,\dots,i+r-1$ and…

We show that doubling at some large scale in a Cayley graph implies uniform doubling at all subsequent scales. The proof is based on the structure theorem for approximate subgroups proved by Green, Tao and the first author. We also give a…

Hilbert famously showed that polynomials in n variables are not too complicated, in various senses. For example, the Hilbert Syzygy Theorem shows that the process of resolving a module by free modules terminates in finitely many (in fact,…

Here we consider the image of the principal minor map of symmetric matrices over an arbitrary unique factorization domain $R$. By exploiting a connection with symmetric determinantal representations, we characterize the image of the…

We establish new, and surprisingly tight, connections between propositional proof complexity and finite model theory. Specifically, we show that the power of several propositional proof systems, such as Horn resolution, bounded-width…

We study identities of finite dimensional algebras over a field of characteristic zero, graded by an arbitrary groupoid $\Gamma$. First we prove that its graded colength has a polynomially bounded growth. For any graded simple algebra $A$…

We show that CC-circuits of bounded depth have the same expressive power as circuits over finite nilpotent algebras from congruence modular varieties. We use this result to phrase and discuss a new algebraic version of Barrington, Straubing…

We report on a verification of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra in ACL2(r). The proof consists of four parts. First, continuity for both complex-valued and real-valued functions of complex numbers is defined, and it is shown that…
