A finite group $G$ admits an {\em oriented regular representation} if there exists a Cayley digraph of $G$ such that it has no digons and its automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$. Let $m$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we extend…
We introduce the decomposition rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C^*-algebras. The decomposition rank generalizes ordinary covering dimension and has nice permanence properties; in particular, it behaves well with respect to…
For a natural number $m$, generalized $m$-gonal numbers are defined by the formula $p_m(x)=\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in \mathbb Z$. In this paper, we determine a criterion on $a,b,c,m$ for which the weighted ternary sum…
The main goal of this note is to establish the limits of L. Zhao's techniques for counting solutions to quadratic forms in prime variables. Zhao considered forms with rank at least 9, and showed that these equations have solutions in primes…
Let $\mathfrak{o}$ be the ring of integers in a non-Archimedean local field with finite residue field, $\mathfrak{p}$ its maximal ideal, and $r\geq2$ an integer. An irreducible representation of the finite group…
In this paper we study universal quadratic polynomials which arise as sums of polygonal numbers. Specifically, we determine an asymptotic upper bound (as a function of $m$) on the size of the set $S_m\subset\mathbb{N}$ such that if a sum of…
For a positive integer $n$, the set of all integers greater than or equal to $n$ is denoted by $\mathcal T(n)$. A sum of generalized $m$-gonal numbers $g$ is called tight $\mathcal T(n)$-universal if the set of all nonzero integers…
Generalizing a theorem of the first two authors and Geelen for planes, we show that, for a real-representable matroid $M$, either the average hyperplane-size in $M$ is at most a constant depending only on its rank, or each hyperplane of $M$…
We show that almost surely the rank of the adjacency matrix of the Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$ equals the number of non-isolated vertices for any $c\ln n/n<p<1/2$, where $c$ is an arbitrary positive constant larger than 1/2. In…
This paper presents the log-concavity of the $m$-gonal figurate number sequences. The author gives and proves the recurrence formula for $m$-gonal figurate number sequences and its corresponding quotient sequences which are found to be…
The literature on word-representable graphs is quite rich, and a number of variations of the original definition have been proposed over the years. We are initiating a systematic study of such variations based on formal languages. In our…
We discuss representations of monogenic functions over very regular groups.
Let $\mathcal{P}_s(n)$ denote the $n$th $s$-gonal number. We consider the equation \[\mathcal{P}_s(n) = y^m, \] for integers $n,s,y,$ and $m$. All solutions to this equation are known for $m>2$ and $s \in \{3,5,6,8,20 \}$. We consider the…
A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…
We prove that each real semisimple Lie algebra G has a Q-form, such that every real representation of G can be realized over the rational numbers Q. This was previously proved by M.S.Raghunathan (and rediscovered by P.Eberlein) in the…
We initiate the study of extremal problems about faces in convex rectilinear drawings of~$K_n$, that is, drawings where vertices are represented by points in the plane in convex position and edges by line segments between the points…
We introduce the notion of almost representations of Lie algebras and quantum tori, and establish an Ulam-stability type phenomenon: every irreducible almost representation is close to a genuine irreducible representation. As an…
The aim of this work is to determine the quasi-filiform Lie algebras that are completable. We further prove that for any positive integer $m$ there exists a complete Lie algebra, the second cohomology group of which has dimension greater or…
We investigate the non-diagonal normal forms of a quadratic form on R^n, in particular for n=3. For this case it is shown that the set of normal forms is the closure of a 5-dimensional submanifold in the 6-dimensional Grassmannian of…
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.
