In this paper, we shed new light on the Flexible Atom Conjecture. We first give finite representation results for relation algebras $33_{37}, 35_{37}$, $77_{83}$, $78_{83}$, $80_{83}$, $82_{83}$, $83_{83}$, $1310_{1316}$, $1313_{1316}$,…
We exhibit finite cyclic group representations for relation algebras $57_{65}$ and $63_{65}$. As a consequence, of the ten symmetric integral RAs on four atoms having at least one flexible atom, all are now known to have a representation…
In this note, we give two different proofs that relation algebra $52_{65}$ is representable over a finite set. The first is probabilistic, and uses Johnson schemes. The second is an explicit group representation over $…
The question of characterizing the (finite) representable relation algebras in a ``nice" way is open. The class $\mathbf{RRA}$ is known to be not finitely axiomatizable in first-order logic. Nevertheless, it is conjectured that ``almost…
A relation algebra is called measurable when its identity is the sum of measurable atoms, and an atom is called measurable if its square is the sum of functional elements. In this paper we show that atomic measurable relation algebras have…
In this paper we give an alternative construction using Monk like algebras that are binary generated to show that the class of strongly representable atom structures is not elementary. The atom structures of such algebras are cylindric…
In ``Monk Algebras and Ramsey Theory,'' \emph{J. Log. Algebr. Methods Program.} (2022), Kramer and Maddux prove various representability results in furtherance of the goal of finding the smallest weakly representable but not representable…
We analyse the fusion of representations of the triplet algebra, the maximally extended symmetry algebra of the Virasoro algebra at c=-2. It is shown that there exists a finite number of representations which are closed under fusion. These…
We describe a general method for constructing representations of finite integral symmetric relation algebras from distance-regular graphs. Given a distance-regular graph of diameter $d$, the distances between vertices induces a coloring of…
A measurable relation algebra is a relation algebra in which the identity element is a sum of atoms that can be measured in the sense that the "size" of each such atom can be defined in an intuitive and reasonable way (within the framework…
Nontrivial combinatory algebras with S and K must be infinite. Associativity is incompatible with combining a classifier and a retraction pair in a finite extensional magma. These obstructions exclude several standard settings from the…
We study the modular representation theory of rank $3$ association schemes arising from partial geometries with parameters $(s,t,\alpha)$. First, we obtain an explicit closed formula for the Frame number of the point scheme in terms of the…
A relation algebra is measurable if the identity element is a sum of atoms, and the square x;1;x of each subidentity atom x is a sum of non-zero functional elements. These functional elements form a group Gx. We prove that a measurable…
For an algebraic stack $\sX$ flat and of finite presentation over a scheme $S$, we introduce various notions of {\em relative connected components} and {\em relative irreducible components}. The main distinction between these notions is…
This report is an account of freely representable groups, which are finite groups admitting linear representations whose only fixed point for a nonidentity element is the zero vector. The standard reference for such groups is Wolf (1967)…
In SGA3, Demazure and Grothendieck showed that if $G$ and $H$ are smooth affine group schemes over a scheme $S$ and $G$ is reductive, then the functor of $S$-homomorphism $G \to H$ is representable. In this paper we extend this result to…
We prove various finiteness and representability results for cohomology of finite flat abelian group schemes. In particular, we show that if $f\colon X\rightarrow \mathrm{Spec}(k)$ is a projective scheme over a field $k$ and $G$ is a finite…
One way of studying a relational structure is to investigate functions which are related to that structure and which leave certain aspects of the structure invariant. Examples are the automorphism group, the self-embedding monoid, the…
This paper is mainly concerned with the relation-algebraical aspects of the well-known Region Connection Calculus (RCC). We show that the contact relation algebra (CRA) of certain RCC model is not atomic complete and hence infinite. So in…
Andr\'eka and Maddux classified the relation algebras with at most 3 atoms, and in particular they showed that all of them are representable. Hirsch and Cristiani showed that the network satisfaction problem (NSP) for each of these algebras…
