We investigate Sarnak's conjecture on the M\"obius function in the special case when the test function is the indicator of the set of integers for which a real additive function assumes a given value.

Using the stratifications of Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ indexed by stable graphs, we introduce a partially ordered set of stable graphs by defining a partial ordering on the set of connected stable graphs of…

This paper introduces and develops M\"obius homology, a homology theory for representations of finite posets into abelian categories. Although the connection between poset topology and M\"obius functions is classical, we go further by…

We use Cramer's formula for the inverse of a matrix and a combinatorial expression for the determinant in terms of paths of an associated digraph (which can be traced back to Coates) to give a combinatorial interpretation of M\"obius…

We generalize the character formulas for multiplicities of irreducible constituents from group theory to semigroup theory using Rota's theory of M\"obius inversion. The technique works for a large class of semigroups including: inverse…

We introduce M\"obius functions of higher rank, a new class of arithmetic functions so that the classical M\"obius function is of rank 2. With this idea, we evaluate Dirichlet series on the sum of the reciprocal square of all $r$-free…

Based on a generalized Newton's identity, we construct a family of symmetric functions which deform the modular Hall-Littlewood functions. We also give a determinant formula for the Macdonald functions.

In important work on the parity of the partition function, Ono related values of the partition function to coefficients of a certain mock theta function modulo 2. In this paper, we use M\"obius inversion to give analogous results which…

We primarily investigate the properties of characteristic polynomials of semimatroids. In particular, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of their coefficients, generalizing the Whitney's Broken Circuit Theorem. We also prove that the…

The $M$-polynomial was introduced by Deutsch and Klav\v{z}ar in 2015 as a graph polynomial to provide an easy way to find closed formulas of degree-based topological indices, which are used to predict physical, chemical, and pharmacological…

We introduce a formal definition of a pattern poset which encompasses several previously studied posets in the literature. Using this definition we present some general results on the M\"obius function and topology of such pattern posets.…

Let P be a poset and let P* be the set of all finite length words over P. Generalized subword order is the partial order on P* obtained by letting u \leq w if and only if there is a subword u' of w having the same length as u such that each…

Let $M=(E,\mathcal B)$ be an $\mathbb F_q$-linear matroid; denote by ${\mathcal B}$ the family of its bases, $s(M;\alpha)=\sum_{B\in\mathcal B}\prod_{e \in B} \alpha_e$, where ${\alpha_e\in \mathbb F_q}$. According to the Kontsevich…

Fully inhomogeneous spin Hall-Littlewood symmetric rational functions $F_\lambda$ arise as partition functions of certain path configurations in the $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ higher spin six vertex models. They are multiparameter generalizations of…

We introduce the M\"obius polynomial $ M_n(x) = \sum_{d|n} \mu\left( \frac nd \right) x^d $, which gives the number of aperiodic bracelets of length $n$ with $x$ possible types of gems, and therefore satisfies $M_n(x) \equiv 0$ (mod $n$)…

In this paper, we consider M\"obius functions associated with two types of $L$-functions: Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of symmetric powers of distinct holomorphic cusp forms and $L$-functions of Maass cusp forms. We show that these M\"obius…

We unify the study of quotients of matroids, polymatroids, valuated matroids and strong maps of submodular functions in the framework of Murota's discrete convex analysis. As a main result, we compile a list of ten equivalent…
