We analyze finite orbits of the natural braid group action on the character variety of the $n$ times punctured sphere. Building on recent results relating middle convolution and finite complex reflection groups, our work implements Katz's…
In this paper we focus on modules over a finite chain ring $\mathcal{R}$ of size $q^s$. We compute the density of free modules of $\mathcal{R}^n$, where we separately treat the asymptotics in $n,q$ and $s$. In particular, we focus on two…
We present {\tt RandomPoints}, a package in \emph{Macaulay2} designed mainly to identify rational and geometric points in a variety over a finite field. We provide tools to estimate the dimension of a variety. We also present methods to…
A parallel method for computing Boolean expressions based on the properties of finite free Boolean algebras is presented. We also show how various finite combinatorial objects can be codded in the formalism of Boolean algebras and counted…
Cooperative games provide a framework to study cooperation among self-interested agents. They offer a number of solution concepts describing how the outcome of the cooperation should be shared among the players. Unfortunately, computational…
In this expository article intended to be accessible to undergraduate students we introduce a finite abelian group that can be associated to any finite connected graph. This group can be defined in an elementary combinatorial way in terms…
We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…
We begin the systematic study of decision problems for finitely generated groups given by a solution to their word problem. We relate this to the study of computable analysis on the space of marked groups. We point out that several distinct…
We calculate explicitly the Betti numbers of a class of barely G2 manifolds - that is, G2 manifolds that are realised as a product of a Calabi-Yau manifold and a circle, modulo an involution. The particular class which we consider are those…
For some numerical semigroup rings of small embedding dimension, namely those of embedding dimension 3, and symmetric or pseudosymmetric of embedding dimension 4, presentations has been determined in the literature. We extend these results…
This paper extends the results of Boij, Eisenbud, Erman, Schreyer, and S\"oderberg on the structure of Betti cones of finitely generated graded modules and finite free complexes over polynomial rings, to all finitely generated graded rings…
This is a survey on upper and lower bounds for finite group actions on bounded surfaces, 3-dimensional handlebodies and closed handles, handlebodies in arbitrary dimensions and finite graphs (the common feature of these objects is that all…
We compute the Betti numbers of the resolution of a special class of square-free monomial ideals, the ideals of mixed products. Moreover when these ideals are Cohen-Macaulay we calculate their type.
We consider deformations of bounded complexes of modules for a profinite group G over a field of positive characteristic. We prove a finiteness theorem which provides some sufficient conditions for the versal deformation of such a complex…
The aim of this article is to study the SL(2,C)-character scheme of a finitely generated group. Given a presentation of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$, we give equations defining the coordinate ring of the scheme of SL(2,C)-characters…
We first establish several general properties of modality of algebraic group actions. In particular, we introduce the notion of a modality-regular action and prove that every visible action is modality-regular. Then, using these results, we…
We investigate the representation of the symmetric group afforded by the action on its conjugacy class of fixed point free involutions, over an algebraically closed field of finite characteristic p. We discuss the general form of the set of…
For any finitely generated abelian group $Q$, we reduce the problem of classification of $Q$-graded simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of "good" characteristic to the problem of classification of gradings on simple Lie…
We give a topological interpretation of the free metabelian group, following the plan described in [Ver1,Ver2]. This interpretation is based on considering the Caley graph of a finitely generated group G as one-dimensional complex; its…
In this paper, we consider modular forms for finite index subgroups of the modular group whose Fourier coefficients are algebraic. It is well-known that the Fourier coefficients of any holomorphic modular form for a congruence subgroup…
