The primary contribution of this thesis is to introduce and examine the planar modular partition monoid for parameters $m, k \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$, which has simultaneously and independently generated interest from other researchers as…
Motivated by information geometry, a distance function on the space of stochastic matrices is advocated. Starting with sequences of Markov chains the Bhattacharyya angle is advocated as the natural tool for comparing both short and long…
In this sequel to "Foundations of matroids - Part 1", we establish several presentations of the foundation of a matroid in terms of small building blocks. For example, we show that the foundation of a matroid M is the colimit of the…
When lattice QCD is formulated in sectors of fixed quark numbers, the canonical fermion determinants can be expressed explicitly in terms of transfer matrices. This in turn provides a complete factorization of the fermion determinants in…
The measured partial widths of the semileptonic decays D to K l nu and D to pi l nu can be combined with the form factors calculated on the lattice to extract the CKM matrix elements |V_cs| and |V_cd|. The lattice calculations can be…
The simplest integrands in the CHY formulation of scattering amplitudes are constructed using the so-called Parke-Taylor functions. Parke-Taylor functions also turn out to belong to a large class of rational functions known as MHV leading…
We briefly review the status of factorization in $b$-decays. We discuss several experimental tests of its nature and stress their importance. We show that decays into mesons which have small decay constants or spin greater than one…
This is an opening talk for the workshop and is intended to be provocative. We take a stab at the following questions: How well do we really know the sides of the unitarity triangle? What else could we do to improve? (I propose several new…
Collinear factorization and color-glass condensate (CGC) effective field theory are generally treated as separate approaches for calculating scattering amplitudes, valid in different kinematic regimes. For deep inelastic scattering at high…
Let $D$ be a Dedekind domain with infinitely many maximal ideals, all of finite index, and $K$ its quotient field. Let $\operatorname{Int}(D) = \{f\in K[x] \mid f(D) \subseteq D\}$ be the ring of integer-valued polynomials on $D$. Given any…
We construct a pairing, which we call factorization homology, between framed manifolds and higher categories. The essential geometric notion is that of a vari-framing of a stratified manifold, which is a framing on each stratum together…
The main purpose of this paper is to prove some density results of polynomials in Fock spaces of slice regular functions. The spaces can be of two different kinds since they are equipped with different inner products and contain different…
We use Kashiwara's theory of crystal bases to study the plactic monoid for type C. Then we describe the correponding sliding and bumping algorithms.
In this paper, we continue the study of three close factorizations of an integer and correct a mistake of a previous result. This turns out to be related to lattice points close to the center point $(\sqrt{N}, \sqrt{N})$ of the hyperbola $x…
We obtain closed-form solutions of several inhomogeneous Lienard equations by the factorization method. The two factorization conditions involved in the method are turned into a system of first-order differential equations containing the…
Inclusive $P$-wave charmonia production in hadronic collisions at high energies is discussed in the framework of non-relativistic QCD and $k_T$-factorization formalism. We present two consistent approches to merge the usual leading order…
Many important special numbers appear in the expansions of some polynomials in terms of central factorials and vice versa, for example central factorial numbers, degenerate central factorial numbers, and central Lah numbers which are…
We analyze effective approximation of unitary matrices. In our formulation, a unitary matrix is represented as a product of rotations in two-dimensional subspaces, so-called Givens rotations. Instead of the quadratic dimension dependence…
Let $R=K[x_{1},x_{2},\cdots, x_{m}]$ where $K$ is a field. In this paper, we give some properties of $n$-matrix factorizations of polynomials in $R$. We also derive some results giving some lower bounds on the number of $n$-matrix factors…
We consider the factorization properties of on-shell QCD amplitudes with massive partons in the limit when all kinematical invariants are large compared to the parton mass and discuss the structure of their infrared singularities. The…
