In this paper we show a a proof by explicit bijections of the famous Kirkman-Cayley formula for the number of dissections of a convex polygon. Our starting point is the bijective correspondence between the set of nested sets made by \(k\)…
A detailed study of fragmentation of vector mesons at the next-to-leading order (NLO) is given for e^+ e^- scattering. A model with broken SU(3) symmetry uses three input fragmentation functions \alpha(x, Q^2), \beta(x,Q^2) and…
A "numerical set-expression" is a term specifying a cascade of arithmetic and logical operations to be performed on sets of non-negative integers. If these operations are confined to the usual Boolean operations together with the result of…
It is a well known that, for odd $n$, the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$ equals the number of binary necklaces of length $n$. In this paper generalize this result in two directions. On…
The partitions of the integers can be expressed exactly in an iterative and closed-form expression. This equation is derived from distributing the partitions of a number in a network that locates each partition in a unique and orderly…
Given a bounded $C^1$ domain $\Omega\subset\R^n$ and a nonempty subset $E$ of its boundary (set of tomography), we consider broken rays which start and end at points of $E$. We ask: If the integrals of a function over all such broken rays…
Quantization of classical systems using the star-product of symbols of observables is discussed. In the star-product scheme an analysis of dual structures is performed and a physical interpretation is proposed. At the Lie algebra level…
In many experimental designs -- split-plots, blocked or nested layouts, fractional factorials, and studies with missing or unequal replication -- standard ANOVA procedures no longer tell us exactly how many independent pieces of information…
Zesting of braided fusion categories is a procedure that can be used to obtain new modular categories from a modular category with non-trivial invertible objects. In this paper, we classify and construct all possible braided zesting data…
An ordered biclique partition of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices is a collection of bicliques (i.e., complete bipartite graphs) such that (i) every edge of $K_n$ is covered by at least one and at most two bicliques in the…
A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…
This paper establishes a uniform procedure to split the operations in any algebraic operad, generalizing previous known notions of splitting algebraic structures from the dendriform algebra of Loday that splits the associative operation to…
We prove a lemma that is useful to get upper bounds for the number of partitions without a given subsum. From this we can deduce an improved upper bound for the number of sets represented by the (unrestricted or into unequal parts)…
A barcode is a finite multiset of intervals on the real line, $B = \{ (b_i, d_i)\}_{i=1}^n$. Barcodes are important objects in topological data analysis, where they serve as summaries of the persistent homology groups of a filtration. The…
In 2007, Andrews and Paule introduced the broken $k$-diamond partition function $\Delta_k(n)$, which has received a lot of researches on the arithmetic propertises. In this paper, we prove that $D^3\log \Delta_1(n-1)>0$ for $n\geq 5$ and…
We consider the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2}$ and the Kostant-Kumar submodules of tensor products of its level 1 highest weight integrable representations. We construct crystals for these submodules in terms of the charged…
Fix a finite alphabet. A necklace is a circular word. For positive integers $n$ and~$k$, a necklace is $(n,k)$-perfect if all words of length $n$ occur $k$ times but at positions with different congruence modulo $k$, for any convention of…
A VB-algebroid is a vector bundle object in the category of Lie algebroids. We attach to every VB-algebroid a differential graded Lie algebra and we show that it controls deformations of the VB-algebroid structure. Several examples and…
We give a new representation theoretic interpretation of the ring of quasi-symmetric functions. This is obtained by showing that the super analogue of the Gessel's fundamental quasi-symmetric function can be realized as the character of an…
The theory of perfect crystals, founded upon the Bloch theorem, gives an understanding of extended quantum states grouped into energy bands, and permits the derivation of the dynamics of electrons in those states. The semiconductor physics…
