A subresiduated lattice ordered commutative monoid (or srl-monoid for short) is a pair $(\textbf{A},Q)$ where $\textbf{A}=(A,\wedge,\vee,\cdot,e)$ is an algebra of type $(2,2,2,0)$ such that $(A,\wedge,\vee)$ is a lattice, $(A,\cdot,e)$ is…
We study a wide range of homologically-defined representations of surface braid groups and of mapping class groups of surfaces, including the Lawrence-Bigelow representations of the classical braid groups. These representations naturally…
The surface singular braid monoid corresponds to marked graph diagrams of knotted surfaces in braid form. In a quest to resolve linearity problem for this monoid, we will show that if it is defined on at least two or at least three strands,…
We give very flexible, concrete constructions of discrete and faithful epresentations of right-angled Artin groups into higher-rank Lie groups. Using the geometry of the associated symmetric spaces and the combinatorics of the groups, we…
We introduce a faithful tropical linear representation of the Chinese monoid, and thus prove that this monoid admits all the semigroup identities satisfied by tropical triangular matrices.
We introduce a monoidal category whose morphisms are finite partial orders, with chosen minimal and maximal elements as source and target respectively. After recalling the notion of presentation of a monoidal category by the means of…
Presentations of smooth symmetry groups of differentiable stacks are studied within the framework of the weak 2-category of Lie groupoids, smooth principal bibundles, and smooth biequivariant maps. It is shown that principality of bibundles…
The Sylvester-Gallai Theorem states that every rank-$3$ real-representable matroid has a two-point line. We prove that, for each $k\ge 2$, every complex-representable matroid with rank at least $4^{k-1}$ has a rank-$k$ flat with exactly $k$…
We define eventually symmetric functions to be those power series of bounded degree in infinitely many variables that are invariant under interchanging all the variables with large enough indices. We show how this ring $\tilde{\Lambda}$ is…
The category $\operatorname{STROP}$ of commutative semirings, whose morphisms are transmissions, is a full and reflective subcategory of the category $\operatorname{STROP}_m$ of supertropical monoids. Equivalence relations on supertropical…
We show that, for any prime $p$ and integer $k \geq 2$, a simple GF($p$)-representable matroid with sufficiently high rank has a rank-$k$ flat which is either independent in $M$, or is a projective or affine geometry. As a corollary we…
We use Kashiwara's theory of crystal bases to study plactic monoids for $U_{q}(so_{2n+1})$ and $U_{q}(so_{2n})$. Simultaneously we describe a Schensted type correspondence in the crystal graphs of tensor powers of vector and spin…
We establish representation types (finite, tame or wild) of finite dimensional Munn algebras with semisimple bases. As an application, we establish representation types of finite 0-simple semigroups and their mutually annihilating unions.
This paper is a continuation of my paper "Lattices of flats for symplectic matroids". We explore geometric constructions originating from the lattice of flats of ranked symplectic matroids. We observe that a ranked symplectic matroid always…
Motivated by relating the representation theory of the split real and $p$-adic forms of a connected reductive algebraic group $G$, we describe a subset of $2^r$ orbits on the complex flag variety for a certain symmetric subgroup. (Here $r$…
In this paper we introduce a strict monoidal subcategory of the category of matrices, suitable to address a higher representation theoretic analogue of radicals (non-semisimplicity) in ordinary representation theory. We show the extent to…
We study the partial Brauer monoid and its planar submonoid, the Motzkin monoid. We conduct a thorough investigation of the structure of both monoids, providing information on normal forms, Green's relations, regularity, ideals, idempotent…
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…
The solution space of differentially rotating polytropes with n=1 has been studied numerically. The existence of three different types of configurations: from spheroids to thick tori, hockey puck-like bodies and spheroids surrounded by a…
Motivated by recent advances in inverse semigroup theory, we investigate the growth of and identities satisfied by free left and free two-sided adequate monoids. We explicitly compute the growth of the monogenic free left adequate monoid…
