This paper is primarily intended as an introduction for the mathematically inclined to some of the rich algebraic combinatorics arising in for instance CFT. It is essentially self-contained, apart from some of the background motivation and…

This is a detailed survey -- with rigorous and self-contained proofs -- of some of the basics of elementary combinatorics and algebra, including the properties of finite sums, binomial coefficients, permutations and determinants. It is…

In analogy with the semi-Fibonacci partitions studied recently by Andrews, we define semi-Pell compositions and semi-$m$-Pell compositions. We find that these are in bijection with certain weakly unimodal $m$-ary compositions. We give…

This article has the following aims: (1) Extend the notion of fuchsian singularities (of first kind) to base fields of arbitrary characteristic. (2) Discuss their relationship to mathematical objects of a different nature. (3) Provide a…

In the paper, a method of describing the outer derivations of the group algebra of a finitely presentable group is given. The description of derivations is given in terms of characters of the groupoid of the adjoint action of the group.

Over the past twenty years, lecture hall partitions have emerged as fundamental combinatorial structures, leading to new generalizations and interpretations of classical theorems and new results. In recent years, geometric approaches to…

With any locally finite partially ordered set $K$ its incidence algebra $\Omega(K)$ is associated. We shall consider algebras over fields with characteristic zero. In this case there is a correspondence $K \leftrightarrow \Omega(K)$ such…

We give a definition of partition C*-algebras: To any partition of a finite set, we assign algebraic relations for a matrix of generators of a universal C*-algebra. We then prove how certain relations may be deduced from others and we…

A separating algebra is, roughly speaking, a subalgebra of the ring of invariants whose elements distinguish between any two orbits that can be distinguished using invariants. In this paper, we introduce a geometric notion of separating…

The goal of these lectures is to give an introduction to the study of the fundamental group of a Klein surface. We start by reviewing the topological classification of Klein surfaces and by explaining the relation with real algebraic…

This was supposed to be an appendix to the book "Non-structure", and probably will be if it materializes. It presents relevant material, sometimes new, which was used in works which were supposed to be part of that book. In section 1 we…

We deduce decompositions of natural representations of general linear groups and symmetric groups from combinatorial bijections involving tableaux. These include some of Howe's dualities, Gelfand models, the Schur-Weyl decomposition of…

This is a short review on the Fa\`a di Bruno formulas, and some Hopf algebras associated to them. These allow, among several other things, a short proof of the Lie-Scheffers theorem, and relating the Lagrange inversion formulas with…

The paper contains an exposition of part of topology using partitions of unity. The main idea is to create variants of the Tietze Extension Theorem and use them to derive classical theorems. This idea leads to a new result generalizing…

In this note, we investigate how different fundamental groups of presentations of a fixed algebra $A$ can be. For finitely many finitely presented groups $G_i$, we construct an algebra $A$ such that all $G_i$ appear as fundamental groups of…

The main aim of this article is to establish a classification of simple polyadic groups in terms of ordinary groups and their automorphisms. We give two different definitions of simpleness for polyadic groups, from the point of views of…

We survey recent (and not so recent) results concerning arrangements of lines, points and other geometric objects and the applications these results have in theoretical computer science and combinatorics. The three main types of problems we…

The task of this survey is to present various results on intersection patterns of convex sets. One of main tools for studying intersection patterns is a point of view via simplicial complexes. We recall the definitions of so called…

This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…

In our earlier paper we made a combinatorial study of (k,l)-admissible partitions. This object appeared already in the work of M. Primc as a label of a basis of level k-integrable modules over $\hat{sl}_l$. We clarify the relation between…
