We investigate a special kind of contraction of symmetric spaces (respectively, of Lie triple systems), called homotopy. In this first part of a series of two papers we construct such contractions for classical symmetric spaces in an…
In this paper, we study the posets of classes of subgroups of finite group having same set of orders of elements. We show that this poset is a chain only in the case of p-groups and moreover, we characterize all finite groups for which this…
We investigate some basic questions concerning the relationship between the restricted Grassmannian and the theory of Banach Lie-Poisson spaces. By using universal central extensions of Lie algebras, we find that the restricted Grassmannian…
We define and study an alternative partial order, called the spectral order, on a synaptic algebra-a generalization of the self-adjoint part of a von Neumann algebra. We prove that if the synaptic algebra A is norm complete (a Banach…
We recover the Dehornoy order on the braid group $B_{2g+n}$ from the tracial state on a cluster $C^*$-algebra $\mathbb{A}(S_{g,n})$ associated to the surface $S_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. It is proved that the space…
In this paper we study partitions whose successive ranks belong to a given set. We enumerate such partitions while keeping track of the number of parts, the largest part, the side of the Durfee square, and the height of the Durfee…
Work of Linnell shows that the space of left-orderings of a group is either finite or uncountable, and in the case that the space is finite, the isomorphism type of the group is known---it is what is known as a Tararin group. By defining…
We classify conjugacy classes of involutions in the isometry groups of nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear forms over the field of two elements. The new component of this work focuses on the case of an orthogonal form on an even dimensional…
Given an $n$-gon, the poset of all collections of pairwise non-crossing diagonals is isomorphic to the face poset of some convex polytope called \textit{associahedron}. We replace in this setting the $n$-gon (viewed as a disc with $n$…
For a connected complex semi-simple Lie group $G$ and a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we determine when the intersection of a conjugacy class $C$ in $G$ and a double coset $BwB^-$ is non-empty, where $w$ is in…
In this paper we relate a well-known in symplectic geometry compactification of the space of symmetric bilinear forms considered as a chart of the Lagrangian Grassmannian to the specific compactifications of the space of electrical networks…
We show that the classification of the symmetric spaces can be achieved by K-theoretical methods. We focus on Hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, and define K-theory for JB*-triples along the lines of C*-theory. K-groups have to…
The Tamari lattice, defined on Catalan objects such as binary trees and Dyck paths, is a well-studied poset in combinatorics. It is thus natural to try to extend it to other families of lattice paths. In this article, we fathom such a…
We study the appearance of notable interval structures -- lattices, modular lattices, distributive lattices, and boolean lattices -- in both the Bruhat and weak orders of Coxeter groups. We collect and expand upon known results for…
Laplante-Anfossi associated to each rooted plane tree a polytope called an operahedron. He also defined a partial order on the vertex set of an operahedron and asked if the resulting poset is a lattice. We answer this question in the…
In this paper, we compute the posets of wide subcategories and ICE-closed subcategories from the lattice of torsion classes in an abelian length category in a purely lattice-theoretical way, by using the kappa map in a completely…
In categorified symplectic geometry, one studies the categorified algebraic and geometric structures that naturally arise on manifolds equipped with a closed nondegenerate (n+1)-form. The case relevant to classical string theory is when n=2…
Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…
As a generalization of weak Bruhat orders on permutations, in 1989 Manin and Schechtman introduced the notion of a higher Bruhat order on the $d$-element subsets of a set $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Among other results in this field, they…
The higher Bruhat orders are partial orders that generalize the weak order on the symmetric group $S_n$, and the second higher Bruhat order is a poset on commutation classes of reduced words for the longest element in $S_n$, where covering…
