We present two hypermatrix formulations of the Cayley Hamilton theorem. One of the proposed formulation naturally extends to hypermatrices the combinatorial interpretations of the classical Cayley Hamilton theorem. We conclude by discussing…
The stack of iterated integrals of a path is embedded in a larger algebraic structure where iterated integrals are indexed by decorated rooted trees and where an extended Chen's multiplicative property involves the D\"urr-Connes-Kreimer…
We derive an exact path integral formulation for the partition function for the Ising model using a mapping between spins and poles of a Laurent expansion for a field on the complex plane. The advantage in using this formulation for the…
We show how to construct path integrals for quantum mechanical systems where the space of configurations is a general non-compact symmetric space. Associated with this path integral is a perturbation theory which respects the global…
We report on the demonstration of an effective, nonlinearity-induced non-reciprocal behavior in a single non-magnetic multi-mode Taiji resonator. Non-reciprocity is achieved by a combination of an intensity-dependent refractive index and of…
Cubic and biquadratic reciprocity have long since been referred to as "the forgotten reciprocity laws", largely since they provide special conditions that are widely considered to be unnecessary in the study of number theory. In this…
This note reformulates certain classical combinatorial duality theorems in the context of order lattices. For source-target networks, we generalize bottleneck path-cut and flow-cut duality results to edges with capacities in a distributive…
Many relationships requiring mutual agreement between pairs of actors produce observable networks that are symmetric and undirected. Nevertheless the unobserved, asymmetric network is often of primary scientific interest. We propose a…
The goal of this article is to prove the comparison theorem between algebraic and topological nearby cycles of a morphism without slopes. We prove in particular that for a family of holomorphic functions without slopes, if we iterate…
Given a finite set of roots of unity, we show that all power sums are non-negative integers iff the set forms a group under multiplication. The main argument is purely combinatorial and states that for an arbitrary finite set system the…
We present an elementary combinatorial proof of the celebrated Friendship theorem. The proof involves looking at independent sets and constructing a bound on their size which forces a contradiction.
We obtain a differential equation for the enumeration of the path length of general increasing trees. By using differential operators and their combinatorial interpretation we give a bijective proof of a version of Fa\`a di Bruno formula,…
We give a combinatorial formula for the non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials E_{\mu}(x;q,t). The formula generalizes our previous combinatorial interpretation of the integral form symmetric Macdonald polynomials J_{\mu}(x;q,t). We prove the…
We present a tensor network representation of the path integral for the one-component real scalar field theory in 1+1 dimensional Minkowski space-time. It is numerically verified by comparing with the exact result in the non-interacting…
In this paper, using what we call a micro reciprocity law, we complete Weil's program for non-abelian class field theory of Riemann surfaces.
We give a reciprocity formula for a two-variable sum where the variables satisfy a linear congruence condition. We also prove that such sum is a measure of how well a rational is approximable from below and show that the reciprocity formula…
We use the fact that certain cosets of the stabilizer of points are pairwise conjugate in a symmetric group $S_n$ in order to construct recurrence relations for enumerating certain subsets of $S_n$. Occasionally one can find `closed form'…
We define nonassociative cyclic extensions of degree m of both fields and central simple algebras over fields. If a suitable field contains a primitive mth (resp., qth) root of unity, we show that suitable nonassociative generalized cyclic…
Multipath cohomology is a cohomology theory for directed graphs, which is defined using the path poset. The aim of this paper is to investigate combinatorial properties of path posets, and to provide computational tools for multipath…
Many mechanisms for the emergence and maintenance of altruistic behavior in social dilemma situations have been proposed. Indirect reciprocity is one such mechanism, where other-regarding actions of a player are eventually rewarded by other…
