In this paper we continue the study of compact-like operators in lattice normed spaces started recently by Aydin, Emelyanov, Erkur\c{s}un \"Ozcand and Marabeh. We show among others, that every p-compact operator between lattice normed…
The notion of branch-depth for matroids was introduced by DeVos, Kwon and Oum as the matroid analogue of the tree-depth of graphs. The contraction-deletion-depth, another tree-depth like parameter of matroids, is the number of recursive…
The aim of this paper is to investigate further properties of $z$-elements in multiplicative lattices. We utilize $z$-closure operators to extend several properties of $z$-ideals to $z$-elements and introduce various distinguished…
In this sequel to "Foundations of matroids - Part 1", we establish several presentations of the foundation of a matroid in terms of small building blocks. For example, we show that the foundation of a matroid M is the colimit of the…
We study the eigenvalue spectrum of different lattice Dirac operators (staggered, fixed point, overlap) and discuss their dependence on the topological sectors. Although the model is 2D (the Schwinger model with massless fermions) our…
We examine collective properties of closure operators on posets that are at least dcpos. The first theorem sets the tone of the paper: it tells how a set of preclosure maps on a dcpo determines the least closure operator above it, and…
We are interested in representations and characterizations of lattice polynomial functions f:L^n -> L, where L is a given bounded distributive lattice. In companion papers [arXiv 0901.4888, arXiv 0808.2619], we investigated certain…
Via a family of monotone scalar functions, a preorder on a set is extended to its power set and then used to construct a hull operator and a corresponing complete lattice of sets. A function mappping into the preordered set is extended to a…
The Galois lattice is a graphic method of representing knowledge structures. The first basic purpose in this paper is to introduce a new class of Galois lattices, called graded Galois lattices. As a direct result, one can obtain the notion…
The closure of a discrete exponential family is described by a finite set of equations corresponding to the circuits of an underlying oriented matroid. These equations are similar to the equations used in algebraic statistics, although they…
The relationship between the operator approximation property and the strong operator approximation property has deep significance in the theory of operator algebras. The original definitions of Effros and Ruan, unlike the classical…
The approximate representation of operators by finite matrices is analysed in terms of accuracy and convergence. The identity operator, for example, can be reconstructed using a basis of harmonic oscillator states leading to a narrow peak…
This paper introduces combinatorial representations, which generalise the notion of linear representations of matroids. We show that any family of subsets of the same cardinality has a combinatorial representation via matrices. We then…
In this article we introduce a new matroid invariant, a combinatorial analog of the topological zeta function of a polynomial. More specifically we associate to any ranked, atomic meet-semilattice L a rational function Z(L,s), in such a way…
It is known that for the natural algebraic torus actions on the Grassmannians, the closures of torus orbits are toric varieties, and that these toric varieties are smooth if and only if the corresponding matroid polytopes are simple. We…
Given a map $\mathcal M$ on a connected and closed orientable surface, the delta-matroid of $\mathcal M$ is a combinatorial object associated to $\mathcal M$ which captures some topological information of the embedding. We explore how…
We present a formula which relates the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid $M$, as defined by Elias, Proudfoot and Wakefield, to the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of the matroid obtained by deleting an element, and various contractions…
The singleton and doubleton minors of a polymatroid $\rho$ encode a surprising amount of information about the structural complexity of $\rho$. Given any polymatroid $\rho$, we can subtract from it a maximally-separated polymatroid,…
In this paper we primarily study monomial ideals and their minimal free resolutions by studying their associated LCM lattices. In particular, we formally define the notion of coordinatizing a finite atomic lattice P to produce a monomial…
This thesis finds its place in the interplay between algebraic and geometric combinatorics. We focus on studying two different families of lattices in relation to the weak order: the permutree lattices and the $s$-weak order. The first part…
