We provide a generalized definition for the quantized Clifford algebra introduced by Hayashi using another parameter $k$ that we call the twist. For a field of characteristic not equal to $2$, we provide a basis for our quantized Clifford…
We construct the nonlinear $W(sl(N+3),sl(3))$ algebras and find the spectrum of values of the central charge that gives rise, by contracting the $W(sl(N+3),sl(3))$ algebras, to a $W_3$ algebra belonging to the coset…
A presentation of the centralizer of the three-fold tensor product of the spin $s$ representation of the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is provided. It is expressed as a quotient of the Askey-Wilson braid algebra. This newly defined…
A fundamental theorem of Wilson states that, for every graph $F$, every sufficiently large $F$-divisible clique has an $F$-decomposition. Here a graph $G$ is $F$-divisible if $e(F)$ divides $e(G)$ and the greatest common divisor of the…
The bipartite independence number of a graph $G$, denoted as $\tilde\alpha(G)$, is the minimal number $k$ such that there exist positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $a+b=k+1$ with the property that for any two sets $A,B\subseteq V(G)$ with…
A graph is said to be $k$-{\em isoregular} if any two vertex subsets of cardinality at most $k$, that induce subgraphs of the same isomorphism type, have the same number of neighbors. It is shown that no $3$-isoregular bicirculant (and more…
The mixed braid groups are the subgroups of Artin braid groups whose elements preserve a given partition of the base points. We prove that the centralizer of any braid can be expressed in terms of semidirect and direct products of mixed…
It is well-known that every regular language admits a unique minimal deterministic acceptor. Establishing an analogous result for non-deterministic acceptors is significantly more difficult, but nonetheless of great practical importance. To…
The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…
For a finite binary relation, we show a local operation which does not decrease its number of (Galois-)closed sets and eventually increases its (Vapnik-Chervonenkis)-dimension. Specifically, we show that there always exist a pair of…
In Bipartite Correlation Clustering (BCC) we are given a complete bipartite graph $G$ with `+' and `-' edges, and we seek a vertex clustering that maximizes the number of agreements: the number of all `+' edges within clusters plus all `-'…
Set partitions avoiding $k$-crossing and $k$-nesting have been extensively studied from the aspects of both combinatorics and mathematical biology. By using the generating tree technique, the obstinate kernel method and Zeilberger's…
We introduce a family of toric algebras defined by maximal chains of a finite distributive lattice. Applying results on stable set polytopes we conclude that every such algebra is normal and Cohen-Macaulay, and give an interpretation of its…
Barnette's Conjecture claims that all cubic, 3-connected, planar, bipartite graphs are Hamiltonian. We give a translation of this conjecture into the matching-theoretic setting. This allows us to relax the requirement of planarity to give…
In previous work, the first three authors conjectured that the ring of regular functions on a natural class of affine log Calabi-Yau varieties (those with maximal boundary) has a canonical vector space basis parameterized by the integral…
We make a series of model-theoretic contributions to Connes' bicentralizer problem, one of the most prominent open problems in the theory of von Neumann algebras. Our work builds on the recent result of Houdayer and Marrakchi who show that,…
The notion of "Weierstrass Section", comes from Weierstrass canonical form for elliptic curves. In celebrated work [B. Kostant, Lie group representations on polynomial rings, Amer. J. Math. 85 (1963), 327-404] constructed such a section for…
First class constraints in a canonical formalism of a gauge theory might generate transformations which map a state to its physically equivalent state. This is called Dirac's conjecture. There are two examples which may be candidates of…
Let ${\rm rad}(n)$ denote the product of distinct prime factors of an integer $n\geq 1$. The celebrated $abc$ conjecture asks whether every solution to the equation $a+b=c$ in triples of coprime integers $(a,b,c)$ must satisfy ${\rm…
We introduce fusion, contragradient and braiding of Hilbert affine representations of a subfactor planar algebra $P$ (not necessarily having finite depth). We prove that if $N \subset M$ is a subfactor realization of $P$, then the Drinfeld…
