We exhibit a faithful representation of the stylic monoid of every finite rank as a monoid of upper unitriangular matrices over the tropical semiring. Thus, we show that the stylic monoid of finite rank $n$ generates the pseudovariety…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a semigroup identity to hold in the monoid of $n\times n$ upper triangular tropical matrices, in terms of equivalence of certain tropical polynomials. This leads to an algorithm for…
This paper presents new results on the identities satisfied by the sylvester and Baxter monoids. We show how to embed these monoids, of any rank strictly greater than 2, into a direct product of copies of the corresponding monoid of rank 2.…
In this paper we consider the algebra of upper triangular matrices UT$_n(F)$, endowed with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-grading (superalgebra) and equipped with a superinvolution. These structures naturally arise in the context of Lie and Jordan…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field of characteristic $p$, and let $UT_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ upper triangular matrices over $\mathbb{F}$ with an involution of the first kind. In this paper we describe: the set of all…
Stalactic, taiga, sylvester and Baxter monoids arise from the combinatorics of tableaux by identifying words over a fixed ordered alphabet whenever they produce the same tableau via some insertion algorithm. In this paper, three sufficient…
We give a combinatorial characterization of the identities holding in the semiring of all upper triangular Boolean $n\times n$-matrices and apply the characterization to computational complexity of identity checking, finite axiomatizability…
We exhibit faithful representations of the hypoplactic, stalactic, taiga, sylvester, Baxter and right patience sorting monoids of each finite rank as monoids of upper triangular matrices over any semiring from a large class including the…
We provide geometric methods and algorithms to verify, construct and enumerate pairs of words (of specified length over a fixed $m$-letter alphabet) that form identities in the semigroup $\ut{n}$ of $n\times n$ upper triangular tropical…
Baxter permutations are known to be in bijection with a wide number of combinatorial objects. Previously, it was shown that each of these objects had a natural involution which was carried equivariantly by the known bijections, and the…
We study categories whose objects are the braid representations, i.e. strict monoidal functors $F\colon B\rightarrow Mat$ from the braid category $B$ to the category of matrices $Mat$. Braid representations are equivalent to solutions to…
We consider the convolution equation $F*X=B$, where $F\in\mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ are given, and $X\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ is to be determined. The convolution equation can be regarded as a linear system…

We describe birational representations of discrete groups generated by involutions, having their origin in the theory of exactly solvable vertex-models in lattice statistical mechanics. These involutions correspond respectively to two kinds…
The Drinfel'd double D(A) of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra A is a Hopf algebraic counterpart of the monoidal center construction. Majid introduced an important representation of the Drinfel'd double, which he called the Schr\"odinger…
Matrix transposition induces an involution on the isomorphism classes of semi-simple n-dimensional representations of the three string braid group. We show that a connected component of this variety can detect braid-reversion or that the…
