Using a new graphical representation for partitions, the author obtains a family of partition identities associated with partitions into distinct parts of an arithmetic progression, or, more generally, with partitions into distinct parts of…
In this paper we analyze the irreducibility of numerical semigroups with multiplicity up to four. Our approach uses the notion of Kunz-coordinates vector of a numerical semigroup recently introduced in (Blanco-Puerto, 2011). With this tool…
We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) of degree n in m real variables, which have arisen in the theory of numerical semigroups. We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums…
We introduce and study new families of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras with the Chevalley property that are not pointed nor semisimple arising as twistings of quantum linear spaces. These Hopf algebras generalize the examples introduced in…
This paper presents a new methodology to count the number of numerical semigroups of given genus or Frobenius number. We apply generating function tools to the bounded polyhedron that classifies the semigroups with given genus (or Frobenius…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers with finite complement, and the squarefree divisor complex of an element $m \in S$ is a simplicial complex $\Delta_m$ that arises in the study of multigraded…
We improve the previously best known lower and upper bounds on the number n_g of numerical semigroups of genus g. Starting from a known recursive description of the tree T of numerical semigroups, we analyze some of its properties and use…
A given subset $A$ of natural numbers is said to be complete if every element of $\N$ is the sum of distinct terms taken from $A$. This topic is strongly connected to the knapsack problem which is known to be NP complete. The main goal of…
We present a number of results relating partial Cauchy-Littlewood sums, integrals over the compact classical groups, and increasing subsequences of permutations. These include: integral formulae for the distribution of the longest…
This paper proposes a new, visual method to study numerical semigroups and the Frobenius problem. The method is based on building a so-called reduction graph, whose nodes usually correspond to monogenic semigroups, and whose edges can have…
Let $X$ be a nonempty set and $X^{2}$ be the Cartesian square of $X$. Some semigroups of binary relations generated partitions of $X^2$ are studied. In particular, the algebraic structure of semigroups generated by the finest partition of…
We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
We examine properties of random numerical semigroups under a probabilistic model inspired by the Erdos-Renyi model for random graphs. We provide a threshold function for cofiniteness, and bound the expected embedding dimension, genus, and…
We develop and describe continuous and discrete transforms of class functions on a compact semisimple, but not simple, Lie group $G$ as their expansions into series of special functions that are invariant under the action of the even…
A group theoretical understanding of the two dimensional fractional supersymmetry is given in terms of the quantum Poincare group at roots of unity. The fractional supersymmetry algebra and the quantum group dual to it are presented and the…
The use of compositions simplifies some aspects of the theory of numerical semigroups. We illustrate this by giving a new proof for the asymptotic number C((1 + $\sqrt$ 5)/2) g of numerical semigroups of genus g and by describing the…
For $p>0$ a small parameter, let $\mathcal A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ be a random subset where each positive integer is included independently with probability $p$. We show that, with high probability (as $p \to 0$), the numerical…
We derive the polynomial representations for minimal relations of generating set of numerical semigroups R_n^k=<(n-1)^k,n^k,(n+1)^k>, k=2,3,4, n>2. We find also the polynomial representations for degrees of syzygies in the Hilbert series…
We develop the theory of difference algebraic groups in the case where we have finitely many pairwise commuting difference operators. We show that the defining ideal of a difference algebraic group is finitely generated as a difference…
