Classical symmetric pairs consist of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, together with its subalgebra of fixed points under an involutive automorphism of the second kind. Quantum group analogs of this construction, known as…
We consider the links between consistent and approximate descriptions of the quantum-classical systems, i.e. systems are composed of two interacting subsystems, one of which behaves almost classically while the other requires a quantum…
Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We consider graded subalgebras A of k[x_1,...,x_m]/(x_1^2,...,x_m^2) generated by d linearly independant linear forms. Representations of matroids over k provide a natural description of the…
We introduce various quantities that can be defined for an arbitrary matroid, and show that certain conditions on these quantities imply that a matroid is not representable over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q$ is a prime power. Mostly, for a…
An elementary application of Algorithmic Complexity Theory to the polygonal approximations of curved billiards-integrable and chaotic-unveils the equivalence of this problem to the procedure of quantization of classical systems: the scaling…
This article studies two notions of generalized matroid representations motivated by algorithmic information theory and cryptographic secret sharing. The first (entropic representability) involves discrete random variables, while the second…
We introduce the notion of sum-matroids and show its association with sum-rank metric codes. As a consequence, some results for sum-rank metric codes by Mart\'inez-Pe\~nas are generalized for sum-matroids. The sum-matroids generalize the…
We combine some known results and techniques with new ones to show that there exists a non-algebraic, multi-linear matroid. This answers an open question by Matus (Discrete Mathematics 1999), and an open question by Pendavingh and van Zwam…
We consider $q$-matroids and their associated classical matroids derived from Gabidulin rank-metric codes. We express the generalized rank weights of a Gabidulin rank-metric code in terms of Betti numbers of the dual classical matroid…
One generalization of ordinary matroids is symplectic matroids. While symplectic matroids were initially defined by their collections of bases, there has been no cryptomorphic definition of symplectic matroids in terms of circuits. We give…
A skew polynomial ring $R=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is a ring of polynomials with non-commutative multiplication. This creates a difference between left and right divisibility, and thus a concept of left and right evaluations and roots. A…
We present a new type of equivalence for representable matroids that uses the automorphisms of the underlying matroid. Two $r\times n$ matrices $A$ and $A'$ representing the same matroid $M$ over a field $F$ are {\it geometrically…
We propose a novel definition of hypergraphical matroids, defined for arbitrary hypergraphs, simultaneously generalizing previous definitions for regular hypergraphs (Main, 1978), and for the hypergraphs of circuits of a matroid…
We introduce the notion of an online matroid embedding, which is an algorithm for mapping an unknown matroid that is revealed in an online fashion to a larger-but-known matroid. We establish the existence of such an embedding for binary…
One of the simplest axiomatizations of a matroid is in terms of independent sets. Curiously, no such independent set axiomatization is known for Gelfand and Serganova's WP-matroids (which are ``Coxeter group analogues'' of matroids). Here…
Quantum information and computation may serve as a source of useful axioms and ideas for the quantum logic/quantum structures project of characterizing and classifying types of physical theories, including quantum mechanics and classical…
The expansion axiom of matroids requires only the existence of some kind of independent sets, not the uniqueness of them. This causes that the base families of some matroids can be reduced while the unions of the base families of these…
Polymatroids can be considered as "fractional matroid" where the rank function is not required to be integer valued. Many, but not every notion in matroid terminology translates naturally to polymatroids. Defining cyclic flats of a…
We study the evolution of random matroids represented by the sequence of random matrices over ${\mathbb F}_q$ where columns are added one after the other, and each column vector is a uniformly random vector in ${\mathbb F}_q^n$, independent…
We introduce cyclic diagram monoids, a generalisation of classical diagram monoids that adds elements of arbitrary period by including internal components, with a view towards cryptography. We classify their simple representations and…
