Let $R=\oplus_{\Gamma\in\Gamma}R_{\gamma}$ be a $\Gamma$-graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$, where $\Gamma$ is a totally ordered semigroup, and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Considering the $\Gamma$-grading filtration $FR$ of $R$ and the…

In this paper, a new invariant was built towards the classification of separable C*-algebras of real rank zero, which we call latticed total K-theory. A classification theorem is given in terms of such an invariant for a large class of…

Kruskal's theorem states that a sum of product tensors constitutes a unique tensor rank decomposition if the so-called k-ranks of the product tensors are large. In this work, we propose a conjecture in which the k-rank condition of…

We consider the space of matrices, with given number of rows and of columns, equipped with the classic trace scalar product. With any matrix (source) norm, we associate a coupling, called Capra, between the space of matrices and itself.…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop the theory of covering spaces for k-graphs, obtaining a…

Random hypothesis sampling lies at the core of many popular robust fitting techniques such as RANSAC. In this paper, we propose a novel hypothesis sampling scheme based on incremental computation of distances between partial rankings…

Let k be a regular F_p-algebra, let A = k[x,y]/(xy) be the coordinate ring of the coordinate axes in the affine k-plane, and let I = (x,y) be the ideal that defines the intersection point. We evaluate the relative K-groups K_q(A,I) in terms…

A power law degree distribution is established for a graph evolution model based on the graph class of k-trees. This k-tree-based graph process can be viewed as an idealized model that captures some characteristics of the preferential…

We introduce a notion of real rank zero for inclusions of C$^*$-algebras. After showing that our definition has many equivalent characterisations, we offer a complete description of the commutative case. We provide permanence and…

Let $E$ be a directed graph, $\mathbb K$ be a field, and $\mathbb F$ be the free group on the edges of $E$. In this work, we use the isomorphism between Leavitt path algebras and partial skew group rings to endow $L_{\mathbb K}(E)$ with an…

We review various aspects of the topological classification of D-brane charges in K-theory, focusing on techniques from geometric K-homology and Kasparov's KK-theory. The latter formulation enables an elaborate description of D-brane charge…

In this paper we apply algebraic $K$-theory techniques to construct a Fuglede-Kadison type determinant for a semi-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a fixed trace. Our construction is based on the approach to determinants for Banach…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $K=k(t)$ be the rational function field over $k$. In this paper we combine a formula of Ulmer for ranks of certain Jacobians over $K$ with strong upper bounds on endomorphisms of Jacobians…

We study properties of (bi-infinite) arrays having all adjacent $k\times k$ adjacent minors equal to one. If we further add the condition that all adjacent $(k-1)\times (k-1)$ minors be nonzero, then these arrays are necessarily of rank…

A $k$-ranking of a graph $G$ is a labeling of its vertices from $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ such that any nontrivial path whose endpoints have the same label contains a larger label. The least $k$ for which $G$ has a $k$-ranking is the ranking number…

Suppose F is a special Gamma-space equipped with a natural transformation to the infinite symmetric power functor. Segal's infinite loop space machine associates with F a spectrum, denoted kF, equipped with a map to the integral…

For any given Cuntz semigroup, we introduce a function associated to it, called the ``Rank Ratio Function". This function ensures global control over the oscillation of the rank of any pair of elements in the Cuntz semigroup and, also,…

We consider algebras of rational power series over an alphabet $\Sigma$ with coefficients in a commutative semiring $K$ and characterize them as the free algebras in various classes of algebraic structures.

In a graph whose vertices are assigned integer ranks, a path is well-ranked if the endpoints have distinct ranks or some interior point has a higher rank than the endpoints. A ranking is an assignment of ranks such that all nontrivial paths…
