Certain mathematical structures make a habit of reoccuring in the most diverse list of settings. Some obvious examples exhibiting this intrusive type of behavior include the Fibonacci numbers, the Catalan numbers, the quaternions, and the…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

Matrix factorizations of a hypersurface yield a description of the asymptotic structure of minimal free resolutions over the hypersurface. We introduce a new concept of matrix factorizations for complete intersections that allows us to…

The (partially) ordered set of the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function with positive imaginary parts is considered. The order is the coordinatewise order inherited from $\mathbb{C}$. Some interesting properties regarding the minimal…

The small object argument is a transfinite construction which, starting from a set of maps in a category, generates a weak factorisation system on that category. As useful as it is, the small object argument has some problematic aspects: it…

An element in Artin's braid group $B_n$ is called periodic if it has a power which lies in the center of $B_n$. The conjugacy problem for periodic braids can be reduced to the following: given a divisor $1\le d<n-1$ of $n-1$ and an element…

In this paper we analyze the structure of transitive permutation groups that have trivial four point stabilizers, but some nontrivial three point stabilizer. In particular we give a complete, detailed classification when the group is simple…

We consider small-scale spheroidal clusters of weakly interacting massive particles in our Galaxy as non-compact gravitational microlenses and predict the appearance of caustics in the plane of a lensed source. The crossing of these…

We study ultrafilters on $\omega^2$ produced by forcing with the quotient of $\scr P(\omega^2)$ by the Fubini square of the Fr\'echet filter on $\omega$. We show that such an ultrafilter is a weak P-point but not a P-point and that the only…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

The three main objects in noncrossing Catalan combinatorics associated to a finite Coxeter system are noncrossing partitions, clusters, and sortable elements. The first two of these have known Fuss-Catalan generalizations. We provide new…

We bound the number of distinct minimal subsystems of a given transitive subshift of linear complexity, continuing work of Ormes and Pavlov [7]. We also bound the number of generic measures such a subshift can support based on its…

We study the non-uniqueness of factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducibles) in noncommutative rings. To do so, we extend concepts from the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations to a noncommutative setting. Several…

We study random typical minimal factorizations of the $n$-cycle into transpositions, which are factorizations of $(1, \ldots,n)$ as a product of $n-1$ transpositions. By viewing transpositions as chords of the unit disk and by reading them…

We give a short proof -- not relying on ideal classes or the geometry of numbers -- of a known criterion for quadratic orders to possess unique factorization.

We study the partition properties enjoyed by the "next best thing to a P-point'' ultrafilters introduced recently in joint work with Dobrinen and Raghavan. That work established some finite-exponent partition relations, and we now analyze…

We extend a result of Lewis and Reiner from finite Coxeter groups to all Coxeter groups by showing that two reflection factorizations of a Coxeter element lie in the same Hurwitz orbit if and only if they share the same multiset of…

We derive an explicit expression for an associative star product on non-commutative versions of complex Grassmannian spaces, in particular for the case of complex 2-planes. Our expression is in terms of a finite sum of derivatives. This…

In this paper, we study the lattice properties of posets of torsion pairs in the module category of a family of representation-finite gentle algebras called tiling algebras, introduced by Coelho Simoes and Parsons. We present a…

The theory of Ihara zeta functions is extended to non-compact arithmetic quotients of Bruhat-Tits trees. This new zeta function turns out to be a rational function, despite the infinite-dimensional setting. In general it has zeros and…
