Let $\Gamma=\langle \alpha, \beta \rangle$ be a numerical semigroup. In this article we consider the dual $\Delta^*$ of a $\Gamma$-semimodule $\Delta$; in particular we deduce a formula that expresses the minimal set of generators of…
In this note we study the weak topology on paired modules over a (not necessarily commutative) ground ring. Over QF rings we are able to recover most of the well known properties of this topology in the case of commutative base fields. The…
The convex transform order is one way to make precise comparison between the skewness of probability distributions on the real line. We establish a simple and complete characterisation of when one Beta distribution is smaller than another…
We investigate the notion of involutive weak globular $\omega$-categories via T.Leinster's approach: as algebras for the initial contracted globular operad in the bicategory of globular collections induced by the Cartesian monad of the free…
Containers are used to carve out a class of strictly positive data types in terms of shapes and positions. They can be interpreted via a fully-faithful functor into endofunctors on Set. Monadic containers are those containers whose…
In this paper we give a first attempt to define and study stable distributions with respect to the weak generalized convolution, focusing our attention on the symmetric weakly stable distribution. As in the case of the classical…
A weak basis of a module is a generating set of the module minimal with respect to inclusion. A module is said to be regularly weakly based provided that each of its generating sets contain a weak basis. In the paper we study (1) rings over…
Let $N$ be a submodule of a finitely generated module $M$ over a Noetherian ring. A method for the computation of the submodule generated by the envelope of $N$ is given. The relations between weakly prime submodules and their envelopes are…
For a quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, considered as a bicategory, Walters introduced categories enriched in $\mathcal{Q}$. Here we extend the study of monad-quantale-enriched categories of the past fifteen years by introducing…
In this survey article we outline the history of the twin theories of weak normality and seminormality for commutative rings and algebraic varieties with an emphasis on the recent developments in these theories over the past fifteen years.…
In this paper, we give a novel abstract description of Szabo's polycategories. We use the theory of double clubs -- a generalisation of Kelly's theory of clubs to `pseudo' (or `weak') double categories -- to construct a pseudo-distributive…
Taking matrix as a synonym for a numerical function on the Cartesian product of two (in general, infinite) sets, a simple purely algebraic "reciprocity property" says that the set of rows spans a finite-dim space iff the set of columns does…
For a class of random matrix ensembles with correlated matrix elements, it is shown that the density of states is given by the Wigner semi-circle law. This is applied to effective Hamiltonians related to the Anderson model in dimensions…
A basic theory of cowreath or extended distributive laws in the bicategory of unital bimodules, is deciphered. Precisely, we give in terms of tensor product over a scalar base ring, a simplest and equivalent definition for cowreath over…
Weakly constrained double field theory, in the sense of Hull and Zwiebach, captures the subsector of string theory on toroidal backgrounds that includes gravity, $B$-field and dilaton together with all of their massive Kaluza-Klein and…
The monad of convex sets of probability distributions is a well-known tool for modelling the combination of nondeterministic and probabilistic computational effects. In this work we lift this monad from the category of sets to the category…
Interpreting entwining structures as special instances of J. Beck's distributive law, the concept of entwining module can be generalized for the setting of arbitrary monoidal category. In this paper, we use the distributive law formalism to…
These lectures contain an introduction to the theory and practice of weak-scale supersymmetry. They begin with a discussion of the hierarchy problem and the motivation for weak-scale supersymmetry. They continue by developing the coset…
Batanin and Leinster's work on globular operads has provided one of many potential defnitions of a weak $\omega$-category. Through the language of globular operads they construct a monad whose algebras encode weak $\omega$-categories. The…
Monads are commonplace in computer science, and can be composed using Beck's distributive laws. Unfortunately, finding distributive laws can be extremely difficult and error-prone. The literature contains some general principles for…
