For any field k and any integers m,n with 0 <= 2m <= n+1, let W_n be the k-vector space of sequences (x_0,...,x_n), and let H_m be the subset of W_n consisting of the sequences that satisfy a degree-m linear recursion, that is, for which…

We prove that every point-determining digraph $D$ contains a vertex $v$ such that $D-v$ is also point determining. We apply this result to show that for any $\{0,1\}$-matrix $M$, with $k$ diagonal zeros and $\ell$ diagonal ones, the size of…

The set of degrees of maps $D(M,N)$, where $M,N$ are closed oriented $n$-manifolds, always contains $0$ and the set of degrees of self-maps $D(M)$ always contains $0$ and $1$. Also, if $a,b\in D(M)$, then $ab\in D(M)$; a set…

We extend the notion of singular vectors in the context of Diophantine approximation of real numbers with elements of a totally real number field $K$. For $m\geq1$, we establish a version of Dani's correspondence in number fields and prove…

We introduce a novel concept of rank for subsets of finite metric spaces E^n_q (the set of all n-dimensional vectors over an alphabet of size q) equipped with the Hamming distance, where the rank R(A) of a subset A is defined as the number…

The present work is the first member of a pair of papers concerning decreasingly-minimal (dec-min) elements of a set of integral vectors, where a vector is dec-min if its largest component is as small as possible, within this, the next…

Let $ m , n \in \mathbb{N}$, $D$ be a division ring, and $M_{m \times n}(D)$ denote the bimodule of all $m \times n$ matrices with entries from $D$. First, we characterize one-sided submodules of $M_{m \times n}(D)$ in terms of left row…

This paper systematically studies finite rank dimension groups, as well as finite dimensional ordered real vector spaces with Riesz interpolation. We provide an explicit description and classification of finite rank dimension groups, in the…

Let A={a_s(mod n_s)}_{s=0}^k be a system of residue classes. With the help of cyclotomic fields we obtain a theorem which unifies several previously known results concerning system A. In particular, we show that if every integer lies in…

This paper is concerned with the taxonomy of finitely complete categories, based on 'matrix properties' - these are a particular type of exactness properties that can be represented by integer matrices. In particular, the main result of the…

In this article, we study the structure of the difference set $E - E$ for subsets $E \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^2$ of positive upper Banach density. Fish asked in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 146 (2018), 3449-3453] whether, for every such set $E$,…

For a left vector space V over a totally ordered division ring F, let Co(V) denote the lattice of convex subsets of V. We prove that every lattice L can be embedded into Co(V) for some left F-vector space V. Furthermore, if L is finite…

We prove a general multi-dimensional central limit theorem for the expected number of vertices of a given degree in the family of planar maps whose vertex degrees are restricted to an arbitrary (finite or infinite) set of positive integers…

We call the $\delta$-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ flat if the $\delta$-vector is of the form $(1,0,\ldots,0,a,\ldots,a,0,\ldots,0)$, where $a \geq 1$. In this paper, we give the complete characterization of…

A finite or infinite matrix $A$ is image partition regular provided that whenever $\mathbb N$ is finitely colored, there must be some $\vec{x}$ with entries from $\mathbb N$ such that all entries of $A\vec{x}$ are in some color class. In…

Given any m-dimensional dilation matrix A with rational eigenvalues, we demonstrate the existence of a digit set D such that the attractor T(A,D) of the iterated function system generated by A and D is connected. We give an easily verified…

It is a notorious open question whether integer programs (IPs), with an integer coefficient matrix $M$ whose subdeterminants are all bounded by a constant $\Delta$ in absolute value, can be solved in polynomial time. We answer this question…

In [Rank-Width and Well-Quasi-Ordering of Skew-Symmetric or Symmetric Matrices, arXiv:1007.3807v1] Oum proved that, for a fixed finite field $\mathbf{F}$, any infinite sequence $M_1,M_2,...$ of (skew) symmetric matrices over $\mathbf{F}$ of…

Let $V$ denote an $r$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-vector space. For an $m$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U$ of $V$ assume that $\dim_q \left(\langle {\bf v}\rangle_{\mathbb{F}_{q^n}} \cap U\right) \geq 2$ for each non zero vector…

In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which a diagonal quadratic form $\sum_{i=1}^{m}a_i X_i^2$ represents every $n \times n$ integral matrix, where $a_i$ ($1 \leq i \leq m$) are integers. For $n=2$, we give a necessary and…
