We study the generic properties of finitely presented monoids and semigroups. We show that for positive integers a > 1, k and m, the generic a-generator k-relation monoid and semigroup presentation (defined in any of several definite…

We study the monomer--dimer partition function on the configuration model of random $d$-regular, $l$-uniform hypergraphs. For fixed $d,l\ge2$, we prove quenched free-energy limits in explicit parameter regimes. The proof combines…

In this work, we address the question of the largest rate of linear subcodes of Reed-Muller (RM) codes, all of whose codewords respect a runlength-limited (RLL) constraint. Our interest is in the $(d,\infty)$-RLL constraint, which mandates…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $R = k[z_1, \cdots, z_n]$ , where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Macaulay's Theorem provides constraints on the Hilbert function of $I$ or $R/I$ from one…

Recently, Solecki introduced the notion of Ramsey monoid to produce a common generalization to theorems such as Hindman's theorem, Carlson's theorem, and Gowers' FIN$_k$ theorem. He proved that an entire class of finite monoids is Ramsey.…

The monomer-dimer model is fundamental in statistical mechanics. However, it is $#P$-complete in computation, even for two dimensional problems. A formulation in matrix permanent for the partition function of the monomer-dimer model is…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate multivariate versions of frequent stability and diam-mean equicontinuity. Given a natural number $m > 1$, we call those notions "frequent $m$-stability" and "diam-mean $m$-equicontinuity". We use…

This paper investigates the dynamics of the iterated sum-of-divisors function $\sigma_k(m)$ and its behaviour modulo $m$, motivated by classical questions on perfect and multiperfect numbers and by the congruences $\sigma_k(m) \equiv 0…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$. Given a finitely generated multigraded module $M$, its Stanley length, denoted by $\operatorname{slength}(M)$, is the minimal length of a…

We discuss the externally definable Ramsey property, a weakening of the Ramsey property for ultrahomogeneous structures, where the only colourings considered are those that are externally definable: that is, definable with parameters in an…

In this paper we are interested in the existence of small and big Ramsey degrees of classes of finite unary algebras in arbitrary (not necessarily finite) algebraic language $\Omega$. We think of unary algebras as $M$-sets where $M =…

We introduce the dimension monoid of a lattice L, denoted by Dim L. The monoid Dim L is commutative and conical, the latter meaning that the sum of any two nonzero elements is nonzero. Furthermore, Dim L is given along with the dimension…

We consider the problem of computing the Maximal Exact Matches (MEMs) of a given pattern $P[1 .. m]$ on a large repetitive text collection $T[1 .. n]$, which is represented as a (hopefully much smaller) run-length context-free grammar of…

Let $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathbb Z^m \oplus T$ be a finitely generated and reduced monoid. In this paper we develop a general strategy to study the set of elements in $\mathcal S$ having at least two factorizations of the same length,…

We study the asymptotic behavior of permanents of $n \times n$ random matrices $A$ with positive entries. We assume that $A$ has either i.i.d. entries or is a symmetric matrix with the i.i.d. upper triangle. Under the assumption that…

We investigate the Ramsey numbers $r(I_m, L_n)$ which is the minimal natural number $k$ such that every oriented graph on $k$ vertices contains either an independent set of size $m$ or a transitive tournament on $n$ vertices. Apart from the…

We define a subsemigroup $S_n$ of the rook monoid $R_n$ and investigate its properties. To do this, we represent the nonzero elements of $S_n$ (which are $n\times n$ matrices) via certain triplets of integers, and develop a closed-form…

We present a method for proving that a semigroup is finitely based and find some new sufficient conditions under which a monoid is finitely based. As an application, we find a class of finite monoids where the finite basis property behaves…

Motivated by applications to the theory of rank-metric codes, we study the problem of estimating the number of common complements of a family of subspaces over a finite field in terms of the cardinality of the family and its intersection…

We describe a practical algorithm for computing normal forms for semigroups and monoids with finite presentations satisfying so-called small overlap conditions. Small overlap conditions are natural conditions on the relations in a…
