When a category $\mathcal{C}$ satisfies certain conditions, we define the notion of rank invariant for arbitrary poset-indexed functors $F:\mathbf{P} \rightarrow \mathcal{C}$ from a category theory perspective. This generalizes the standard…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The Jacobian group (also known as the Picard group or sandpile group) of $G$ is a finite abelian group whose cardinality equals the number of spanning trees of $G$. The Jacobian group admits a canonical simply…

In this note we give a definition of stable maps into the classifying stack $\BGL_r$ of the general linear group. To support our belief that the definition is the correct one, we show that there are natural boundary morphisms between the…

Parking sequences (a generalization of parking functions) are defined by specifying car lengths and requiring that a car attempts to park in the first available spot after its preference. If it does not fit there, then a collision occurs…

Motivated by an open problem from graph drawing, we study several partitioning problems for line and hyperplane arrangements. We prove a ham-sandwich cut theorem: given two sets of n lines in R^2, there is a line l such that in both line…

We introduce a communication model called universal SMP, in which Alice and Bob receive a function $f$ belonging to a family $\mathcal{F}$, and inputs $x$ and $y$. Alice and Bob use shared randomness to send a message to a third party who…

Matrix polynomials given in an orthogonal basis are considered. Following the ideas of Mackey et al. "Vector spaces of Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials" (2006), the vec- tor spaces, called M1(P), M2(P) and DM(P), of potential…

In this paper, we introduce the framework of a generalized design, which represents any linear operator as a finite sum of local linear maps attached to finitely many points, thereby abstracting the core of design theory without employing…

Two bounded linear operators $A$ and $B$ are parallel with respect to a norm $\|\cdot\|$ if $\|A+\mu B\| = \|A\| + \|B\|$ for some scalar $\mu$ with $|\mu| = 1$. Characterization is obtained for bijective linear maps sending parallel…

Birkhoff's 1937 dual representation of finite distributive lattices via finite posets was in 1970 extended to a dual representation of arbitrary distributive lattices via compact totally order-disconnected topological spaces by Priestley.…

We formulate a practical yet challenging problem: General Partial Label Learning (GPLL). Compared to the traditional Partial Label Learning (PLL) problem, GPLL relaxes the supervision assumption from instance-level -- a label set partially…

Arc-locally semicomplete and arc-locally in-semicomplete digraphs were introduced by Bang-Jensen as a common generalization of both semicomplete and semicomplete bipartite digraphs in 1993. Later, Bang-Jensen (2004), Galeana-Sanchez and…

The discriminantal arrangement is the space of configurations of $n$ hyperplanes in generic position in a $k$ dimensional space (see \cite{MS}). Differently from the case $k=1$ in which it corresponds to the well known braid arrangement,…

We call a hamiltonian N-space \emph{primary} if its moment map is onto a single coadjoint orbit. The question has long been open whether such spaces always split as (homogeneous) x (trivial), as an analogy with representation theory might…

We study the surjectivity of suitable weighted Gaussian maps which provide a natural generalization of the standard Gaussian maps and encode the local geometry of the locus of curves endowed with a higher root of the canonical bundle having…

Using techniques introduced by H. Thomas and N. Williams in "Cyclic Symmetry of the Scaled Simplex," we prove that modular sweep maps are bijective. We construct the inverse of the modular sweep map by passing through an intermediary set of…

The fundamental group of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a complex vector space is an important topological invariant. The third rank of successive quotients in the lower central series of the fundamental group was called Falk…

Approximate proof labeling schemes were introduced by \\Censor-Hillel, Paz and Perry \cite{CPP}. Roughly speaking, a graph property~$\cP$ can be verified by an approximate proof labeling scheme in constant-time if the vertices of a graph…

One fundamental consequence of a scheme $X$ being proper is that the functor classifying maps from $X$ to any other suitably nice scheme or algebraic stack is representable by an algebraic stack. This result has been generalized by…

A \emph{Stick graph} is an intersection graph of axis-aligned segments such that the left end-points of the horizontal segments and the bottom end-points of the vertical segments lie on a `ground line,' a line with slope $-1$. It is an open…
