We study the free (associative, non-commutative) Baxter algebra on one generator. The first explicit description of this object is due to Ebrahimi-Fard and Guo. We provide an alternative description in terms of a certain class of trees,…

Let G be a connected, reductive group over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic. For u in G unipotent, we describe the conjugacy classes in the component group A(u) of the centralizer of u. Our results extend work of the…

The (proper) power graph of a group is a graph whose vertex set is the set of all (nontrivial) elements of the group and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. Various kinds of planarity of (proper) power graphs…

We study the dynamics of the piecewise planar rotations $F_{\lambda}(z)=\lambda (z-H(z)), $ with $z\in\C$, $H(z)=1$ if $\mathrm{Im}(z)\ge0,$ $H(z)=-1$ if $\mathrm{Im}(z)<0,$ and $\lambda=\mathrm{e}^{i \alpha} \in\C$, being $\alpha$ a…

We introduce the notion of a move graph, that is, a directed graph whose vertex set is a $\mathbb Z$-module $\mathbb Z_n^m$, and whose arc set is uniquely determined by the action $M\!:\!\mathbb Z_n^m\to \mathbb Z_n^m$ where $M$ is an…

Let A be a connected graded algebra and let E denote its Ext-algebra. There is a natural A-infinity algebra structure on E, and we prove that this structure is mainly determined by the relations of A. In particular, the coefficients of the…

We introduce a new operad-like structure that we call a reconnectad; the ``input'' of an element of a reconnectad is a finite simple graph, rather than a finite set, and ``compositions'' of elements are performed according to the notion of…

If $\rho$ denotes a finite dimensional complex representation of $\textbf{SL}_2(\textbf{Z})$, then it is known that the module $M(\rho)$ of vector valued modular forms for $\rho$ is free and of finite rank over the ring $M$ of scalar…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module, and let $Z(M)$ be the set of all zero-divisors on $M$. In 2008, D.F. Anderson and A. Badawi introduced the regular graph of $R$. In this paper, we generalize the regular graph of $R$…

We study a system, called NEL, which is the mixed commutative/non-commutative linear logic BV augmented with linear logic's exponentials. Equivalently, NEL is MELL augmented with the non-commutative self-dual connective seq. In this paper,…

We give a new proof of the fact that finite bipartite graphs cannot be axiomatized by finitely many first-order sentences among FINITE graphs. (This fact is a consequence of a general theorem proved by L. Ham and M. Jackson, and the…

We discuss the structure of the Motzkin algebra $M_k(D)$ by introducing a sequence of idempotents and the basic construction. We show that $\cup_{k\geq 1}M_k(D)$ admits a factor trace if and only if $D\in \{2\cos(\pi/n)+1|n\geq 3\}\cup…

We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…

A mechanical linkage is a mechanism made of rigid rods linked together by flexible joints, in which some vertices are fixed and others may move. The partial configuration space of a linkage is the set of all the possible positions of a…

In embedding calculus, spaces of embeddings are identified with derived mapping spaces between framed Fulton-MacPherson-type modules (framed configuration spaces). Unfortunately, there are no sufficiently good algebraic models for framed…

Let $m>1$ be an integer, and let $I(\mathbb{Z}_m)^*$ be the set of all non-zero proper ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_m$. The intersection graph of ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_m$, denoted by $G(\mathbb{Z}_m)$, is a graph with vertices $I(\mathbb{Z}_m)^*$…

For a periodically perforated structure, for which homogenization takes place in the linear theory of elasticity, the components of the effective elasticity tensor depend in general on the geometry of the holes as well as on the local…

A well-known conjecture of Gross and Zagier states that the values of the higher automorphic Green's function at pairs of points with complex multiplication in the upper half-plane are proportional to the logarithm of an algebraic number.…

The \emph{power graph} $P(G)$ of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$, with $x$ and $y$ joined if one is a power of the other; the \emph{directed power graph} $\vec{P}(G)$ has the same vertex set, with an arc from $x$ to $y$ if…

This paper deals with the set of $\alpha\in{\mathbb{R}}$ such that $\alpha \zeta^{n} \bmod 1$ tends to $0$ for a fixed $\zeta\in{\mathbb{R}}$, which we call $\mathscr{M}_{\zeta}$. Predominately the case of Pisot numbers $\zeta$ is studied.…
