The asymptotic dimension is an invariant of metric spaces introduced by Gromov in the context of geometric group theory. When restricted to graphs and their shortest paths metric, the asymptotic dimension can be seen as a large scale…

Affine equivalent classes of Boolean functions have many applications in modern cryptography and circuit design. Previous publications have shown that affine equivalence on the entire space of Boolean functions can be computed up to 10…

By a {\em Riemann function} we mean a function $f\colon{\mathbb Z}^n\to{\mathbb Z}$ such that $f({\bf d})$ is equals $0$ for $d_1+\cdots+d_n$ sufficiently small, and equals $d_1+\cdots+d_n+C$ for a constant, $C$, for $d_1+\cdots+d_n$…

The probabilistic degree of a Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is defined to be the smallest $d$ such that there is a random polynomial $\mathbf{P}$ of degree at most $d$ that agrees with $f$ at each point with high…

Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…

The divisor theory of the complete graph $K_n$ is in many ways similar to that of a plane curve of degree $n$. We compute the splitting types of all divisors on the complete graph $K_n$. We see that the possible splitting types of divisors…

Given a function $f$ on $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, we study the following problem. What is the largest affine subspace $\mathcal{U}$ such that when restricted to $\mathcal{U}$, all the non-trivial Fourier coefficients of $f$ are very small? For the…

We investigate the max min of the algebraic degree and the nonlinearity of a Boolean function in $n$ variables when restricted to a $k$-dimensional affine subspace of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$. Previous authors have focused on the cases when the max…

In [1] M. Baker and S. Norine developed a theory of divisors and linear systems on graphs, and proved a Riemann-Roch Theorem for these objects (conceived as integer-valued functions on the vertices). In [2] and [3] the authors generalized…

The $k$-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm ($k$-WL) is a very useful combinatorial tool in graph isomorphism testing. We address the applicability of $k$-WL to recognition of graph properties. Let $G$ be an input graph with $n$…

A graph G is (d_1,..,d_l)-colorable if the vertex set of G can be partitioned into subsets V_1,..,V_l such that the graph G[V_i] induced by the vertices of V_i has maximum degree at most d_i for all 1 <= i <= l. In this paper, we focus on…

Alfeld and Schumaker provide a formula for the dimension of the space of piecewise polynomial functions, called splines, of degree $d$ and smoothness $r$ on a generic triangulation of a planar simplicial complex $\Delta$, for $d \geq 3r+1$.…

We note that large classes of contractions of algebras that arise in physics can be understood purely algebraically, via identifying appropriate $\mathbb{Z}_m$-gradings (and their generalizations) on the parent algebra. This includes…

Let $V$ and $V'$ be vector spaces of dimension $n$ and $n'$, respectively. Let $k\in\{2,...,n-2\}$ and $k'\in\{2,...,n'-2\}$. We describe all isometric and $l$-rigid isometric embeddings of the Grassmann graph $\Gamma_{k}(V)$ in the…

We obtain new nonexistence results of generalized bent functions from $\{Z^n}_q$ to $\Z_q$ (called type $[n,q]$) in the case that there exist cyclotomic integers in $ \Z[\zeta_{q}]$ with absolute value $q^{\frac{n}{2}}$. This result…
