Cohen proved that the infinite variable polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,x_2,\ldots]$ is noetherian with respect to the action of the infinite symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}$. The first two authors began a program to understand the…
The multiplicities a_{lambda,mu} of simple modules L(mu) in the composition series of Kac modules V(lambda) for the Lie superalgebra gl(m/n) were described by Serganova, leading to her solution of the character problem for gl(m/n). In…
Let $R$ be a finite ring and let $M, N$ be two finite left $R$-modules. We present two distinct deterministic algorithms that decide in polynomial time whether or not $M$ and $N$ are isomorphic, and if they are, exhibit an isomorphism. As…
We consider some combinatorial problems on matrix polynomials over finite fields. Using results from control theory we give a proof of a result of Helmke, Jordan and Lieb on the number of linear unimodular matrix polynomials over a finite…
We prove a multiple recurrence result for arbitrary measure-preserving transformations along polynomials in two variables of the form $m+p_i(n)$, with rationally independent $p_i$'s with zero constant term. This is in contrast to the single…
We consider the ring I_n of polynomial invariants over weighted graphs on n vertices. Our primary interest is the use of this ring to define and explore algebraic versions of isomorphism problems of graphs, such as Ulam's reconstruction…
We consider three types of rings of supersymmetric polynomials: polynomial ones $\Lambda_{m,n}$, partially polynomial $\Lambda_{m,n}^{+y}$ and Laurent supersymmetric rings $\Lambda_{m,n}^{\pm}$. For each type of rings we give their…
We announce here a number of results concerning representation theory of the algebra $R=k<x,y>/ (xy-yx-y^2)$, known as Jordan plane (or Jordan algebra). We consider the question on 'classification' of finite-dimensional modules over the…
It is shown that for the conjugation action of the symmetric group $S_n,$ when $n=6$ or $n\geq 8,$ all $S_n$-irreducibles appear as constituents of a single conjugacy class, namely, one indexed by a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ with at least…
A tuple of commuting operators $(S_1,\dots,S_{n-1},P)$ for which the closed symmetrized polydisc $\Gamma_n$ is a spectral set is called a $\Gamma_n$-contraction. We show that every $\Gamma_n$-contraction admits a decomposition into a…
Multidimensional persistence has been proposed to study the persistence of topological features in data indexed by multiple parameters. In this work, we further explore its algebraic complications from the point of view of higher…
Let $\Lambda$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded artin algebra. Two classical results of Gordon and Green state that if $\Lambda$ has only finitely many indecomposable gradable modules, up to isomorphism, then $\Lambda$ has finite representation…
We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…
We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the…
If $S$ is a cofinite set of positive integers, an "$S$-restricted composition of $n$" is a sequence of elements of $S$, denoted $\vec{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...)$, whose sum is $n$. For uniform random $S$-restricted compositions, the…
Let $\Lambda$ be an $n$-Auslander algebra with global dimension $n+1$. In this paper, we prove that $\Lambda$ is representation-finite if and only if the number of non-isomorphic indecomposable $\Lambda$-modules with projective dimension…
We construct many irreducible polynomials within semigroups generated by sets of the form $S=\{x^2+c_1,\dots,x^2+c_s\}$ under composition.
We construct examples of bounded below, noncontractible, acyclic complexes of finitely generated projective modules over some rings $S$, as well as bounded above, noncontractible, acyclic complexes of injective modules. The rings $S$ are…
Regarding polynomial functions on a subset $S$ of a non-commutative ring $R$, that is, functions induced by polynomials in $R[x]$ (whose variable commutes with the coefficients), we show connections between, on one hand, sets $S$ such that…
Boij-S\"oderberg theory gives a combinatorial description of the set of Betti tables belonging to finite length modules over the polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. We posit that a similar combinatorial description can be given for…
