The distance of a binary operation from being associative can be "measured" by its associative spectrum, an appropriate sequence of positive integers. Particular instances and general properties of associative spectra are studied.
It is known that a Delsarte $t$-design in a $Q$-polynomial association scheme has degree at least $\left \lceil{\frac{t}{2}}\right \rceil $. Following Ionin and Shrikhande who studied combinatorial $(2s-1)$-designs (i.e., Delsarte designs…
Trialitarian triples are triples of central simple algebras of degree 8 with orthogonal involution that provide a convenient structure for the representation of trialitarian algebraic groups as automorphism groups. This paper explicitly…
In this paper, we study the subconstituent algebras, also called as Terwilliger algebras, of association schemes that are obtained as the wreath product of one-class association schemes $K_n=H(1, n)$ for $n\ge 2$. We find that the $d$-class…
Delsarte-Goethals-Seidel showed that if $X$ is a spherical $t$-design with degree $s$ satisfying $t\geq 2s-2$, $X$ carries the structure of an association scheme. Also Bannai-Bannai showed that the same conclusion holds if $X$ is an…
In this paper we begin revisiting the little string theories (LSTs) which govern the dynamics of the instantonic heterotic $E_8 \times E_8$ five-branes probing ALE singularities, building on and extending previous results on the subject by…
Nested parentheses are forms in an algebra which define orders of evaluations. A class of well-formed sets of associated opening and closing parentheses is well studied in conjunction with Dyck paths and Catalan numbers. Nested parentheses…
Several methods for generating random Steiner triple systems (STSs) have been proposed in the literature, such as Stinson's hill-climbing algorithm and Cameron's algorithm, but these are not yet completely understood. Those algorithms, as…
With each Steiner triple system there is associated a one-parameter family of commutative, nonassociative, nonunital algebras that are by construction exact, meaning that the trace of every multiplication operator vanishes, and these…
We suggest a classification scheme for subfactorizable fusion bialgebras, particularly for exchange relation planar algebras. This scheme begins by transforming infinite diagrammatic consistency equations of exchange relations into a finite…
The fractional supersymmetry chiral algebras in two-dimensional conformal field theory are extended Virasoro algebras with fractional spin currents. We show that associativity and closure of these algebras determines their structure…
In this paper we develop a structure called Link Algebra, in which we present a Set with two binary operations and an axiom system developed from the study of graph theory and set/antiset theory, sowing main theorems and definitions. Once…
Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) is considered as an effective approach for realizing continual learning thanks to its ability to handle the plasticity-stability dilemma. In general, however, the clustering performance of ART-based…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Terwilliger algebra of a quasi-thin Schurian association scheme to coincide with: (a) the centralizer algebra of a point stabilizer of its automorphism group, and (b) its subspace $T^0$.…
Theoretical and computational frameworks of modern science are dominated by binary structures. This binary bias, seen in the ubiquity of pair-wise networks and formal operations of two arguments in mathematical models, limits our capacity…
We introduce fusion algebras with not necessarily positive structure constants and without identity element. We prove that they are semisimple when tensored with $\mathbb{C}$ and that their characters satisfy orthogonality relations. Then…
We give three constructions of three-class association schemes as fusion schemes of the cyclotomic scheme, two of which are primitive
A relative t-design in the binary Hamming association schemes H(n,2) is equivalent to a weighted regular t-wise balanced design, i.e., certain combinatorial t-design which allow different sizes of blocks and a weight function on blocks. In…
Altanisation (formation of the altan of a parent structure) originated in the chemical literature as a formal device for constructing generalised coronenes from smaller structures. The altan of graph $G$, denoted $\mathfrak{a}(G, H)$,…
In order to unify the methods which have been applied to various topics such as BRST theory of constraints, Poisson brackets of local functionals, and certain developments in deformation theory, we formulate a new concept which we call the…
