The purpose of this paper is to answer a question raised by Gennady Lyubeznik and Karen Smith. This question involves the finite generation of the following non-commutative algebra. Let $S$ be any commutative algebra of prime characteristic…

Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…

We study the Dehn function at infinity in the mapping class group, finding a polynomial upper bound of degree four. This is the same upper bound that holds for arbitrary right-angled Artin groups.

A partition is finitary if all its blocks are finite. For a cardinal $\mathfrak{a}$ and a natural number $n$, let $\mathrm{fin}(\mathfrak{a})$ and $\mathscr{B}_{n}(\mathfrak{a})$ be the cardinalities of the set of finite subsets and the set…

This is a survey on factorization theory. We discuss finitely generated monoids (including affine monoids), primary monoids (including numerical monoids), power sets with set addition, Krull monoids and their various generalizations, and…

In the paper, we extend the ADC property to the representation of quadratic lattices by quadratic lattices, which we define as $ n $-ADC-ness. We explore the relationship between $ n$-ADC-ness, $ n $-regularity and $ n $-universality for…

By a 1941 result of Ph. M. Whitman, the free lattice FL(3) on three generators includes a sublattice $S$ that is isomorphic to the lattice FL($\omega$)=FL($\aleph_0$) generated freely by denumerably many elements. The first author has…

We prove that for a finite first order structure $\mathbf{A}$ and a set of first order formulas $\Phi$ in its language with certain closure properties, the finitary relations on $A$ that are definable via formulas in $\Phi$ are uniquely…

Let $r \ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a finite, nonempty set of nonzero integers. We will obtain a lower bound for the number of squarefree integers $n$, up to $x$, for which the products $\prod_{p \mid n} (p+a)$ (over primes $p$) are…

The optimization of submodular functions on the integer lattice has received much attention recently, but the objective functions of many applications are non-submodular. We provide two approximation algorithms for maximizing a…

We show that finite quasisimple groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$ with an irreducible representation of prime degree $r$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ have orders bounded above by a function of $r$, independent of $p$. We…

We generalize the notion of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a graded triple $(M,R,I)$ in characteristic $p>0$ by proving that for any complex number $y$, the limit $$\underset{n \to \infty}{\lim}(\frac{1}{p^n})^{\text{dim}(M)}\sum \limits_{j=…

This paper is devoted to the study of lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. Special species of such lattices arise in the exploration of elliptic curves over finite fields. In case the generating group is cyclic, they are also known…

We show that every finite Abelian algebra A from congruence-permutable varieties admits a full duality. In the process, we prove that A also allows a strong duality, and that the duality may be induced by a dualizing structure of finite…

We study the fundamental group of an open $n$-manifold $M$ of nonnegative Ricci curvature with additional stability condition on $\widetilde{M}$, the Riemannian universal cover of $M$. We prove that if any tangent cone of $\widetilde{M}$ at…

We construct a complete lattice $Z$ such that the binary supremum function $\sup:Z\times Z\to Z$ is discontinuous with respect to the product topology on $Z\times Z$ of the Scott topologies on each copy of $Z$. In addition, we show that…

In this paper, we consider the planar self-affine measures $\mu_{M,D}$ generated by an expanding matrix $M\in M_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and an integer digit set $ D=\left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ 0 \end{array}} \right),\left(…

The palindromic automorphism group is a subgroup of the automorphism group $Aut(F_3).$ We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix in $GL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ representing a palindromic automorphism of $F_n.$ We prove that the…

A lattice L is called opc if every monotone function f : L^n -> L is induced by a polynomial. We show here: If L is a lattice with the interpolation property whose cardinality is a strong limit cardinal of uncountable cofinality, then some…

We upper bound the number of common zeros over a finite grid of multivariate polynomials and an arbitrary finite collection of their consecutive Hasse derivatives (in a coordinate-wise sense). To that end, we make use of the tool from…
