In this article, we discuss the notion of partition of elements in an arbitrary Coxeter system $(W,S)$: a partition of an element $w$ is a subset $\mathcal P\subseteq W$ such that the left inversion set of $w$ is the disjoint union of the…
In this paper, we initiate the study of the twisted weak order associated to a twisted Bruhat order for a Coxeter group and explore the relationship between the lattice property of such order and the infinite reduced words. We show that for…
Involution words are variations of reduced words for twisted involutions in Coxeter groups. They arise naturally in the study of the Bruhat order, of certain Iwahori-Hecke algebra modules, and of orbit closures in flag varieties.…
The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. From an optimization point of view, one could instead…
The queue number of a poset is the queue number of its cover graph when the vertex order is a linear extension of the poset. Heath and Pemmaraju conjectured that every poset of width $w$ has queue number at most $w$. The conjecture has been…
This paper makes two contributions towards determining some well-studied optimal constants in Fourier analysis \newa{of Boolean functions} and high-dimensional geometry. \begin{enumerate} \item It has been known since 1994 \cite{GL:94} that…
A quotient of a poset $P$ is a partial order obtained on the equivalence classes of an equivalence relation $\theta$ on $P$; $\theta$ is then called a congruence if it satisfies certain conditions, which vary according to different…
We propose a new approach to study plethysm coefficients by using the Schur-Weyl duality between the symmetric group and the partition algebra. This allows us to explain the stability properties of plethysm and Kronecker coefficients in a…
We analyze the asymptotic convergence of all infinite products of matrices taken in a given finite set, by looking only at finite or periodic products. It is known that when the matrices of the set have a common nonincreasing polyhedral…
Recently, Gilmer proved the first constant lower bound for the union-closed sets conjecture via an information-theoretic argument. The heart of the argument is an entropic inequality involving the OR function of two i.i.d.\ binary vectors,…
It is elementary and well-known that if an element x of a bounded modular lattice L has a complement in L then x has a relative complement in every interval [a,b] containing x. We show that the relatively strong assumption of modularity of…
This is both an expository and research paper where we advocate a systematic study of continuous analogues of finite partially ordered sets, convex polytopes, oriented matroids, arrangements of subspaces, finite simplicial complexes, and…
In the present note we prove a conjecture of Demailly for finite sets of sufficiently many very general points in projective spaces. This gives a lower bound on Waldschmidt constants of such sets. Waldschmidt constants are asymptotic…
The aim of this work is to prove a conjecture related to the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, in the parabolic setting, for lower intervals in every arbitrary Coxeter group. This result improves and…
In the 1950s, H. S. M. Coxeter considered the quotients of braid groups given by adding the relation that all half Dehn twist generators have some fixed, finite order. He found a remarkable formula for the order of these groups in terms of…
In 1989, Rota made the following conjecture. Given $n$ bases $B_{1},\dots,B_{n}$ in an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$, one can always find $n$ disjoint bases of $V$, each containing exactly one element from each $B_{i}$ (we call such…
We construct a family of right-angled Coxeter groups which provide counter-examples to questions about the stable boundary of a group, one-endedness of quasi-geodesically stable subgroups, and the commensurability types of right-angled…
The standard notion of poset probability of a finite poset P involves calculating, for incomparable $\alpha$, $\beta$ in P, the number of linear extensions of P for which $\alpha$ precedes $\beta$. The fraction of those linear extensions…
We study divergence and thickness for general Coxeter groups $W$. We first characterise linear divergence, and show that if $W$ has superlinear divergence then its divergence is at least quadratic. We then formulate a computable…
W.M.Schmit[11] conjectured that for any$\;\theta$ with deg$\;\theta\geq 3,$ there is no constant$\;C=C(\theta)$ so that$\;|p-q\theta|>Cq^{-1}$ for every rationa$\;p/q.$ [12,p26] states that the computations of the first several thousand…
