Let $G$ be a finite group. We consider the problem of counting simultaneous conjugacy classes of $n$-tuples and simultaneous conjugacy classes of commuting $n$-tuples in $G$. Let $\alpha_{G,n}$ denote the number of simultaneous conjugacy…

We compute analytically the joint probability density of eigenvalues and the level spacing statistics for an ensemble of random matrices with interesting features. It is invariant under the standard symmetry groups (orthogonal and unitary)…

We study pairs of matrices $A,B\in GL_n({\mathbb C})$ such that the eigenvalues of $A$, of $B$ and of the product $AB$ are specified in advance. We show that the space of such pairs $(A,B)$ under simultaneous conjugation has dimension…

We establish a sharp lower-bound for the number of conjugacy classes $k(A_n)$ in the alternating group $A_n$, for $n \geq 3$. Namely, we show that $k\left(A_n\right) \geq \frac{k\left(A_7\right)}{\log_2\left|A_7\right|} \cdot…

In this paper we completely describe the unital compressed commuting graph of the ring $\mathcal{M}_3(\mathrm{GF}(p))$ of $3 \times 3$ matrices over the finite prime field $\mathrm{GF}(p)$. To achieve this we combine methods from linear…

The single defining relation of the algebra of $SL_3\times SL_3$-invariants of triples of $3\times 3$ matrices is explicitly computed. Connections to some other prominent algebras of invariants are pointed out.

Lehmer constructs four classes of matrices constructed from roots of unity for which the characteristic polynomials and the $k$-th powers can be determined explicitly. Here we study a class of matrices which arise naturally in…

Motivated by Kontsevich's graph complexes, this paper gives a systematic study of matroid complexes. We construct deletion and contraction bicomplexes on the vector space spanned by matroid classes equipped with ground-set orientations,…

Let $\mathfrak{t}$ be a commutative Lie subalgebra of ${\rm sl}_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ of maximal dimension. We consider in this paper three spaces of $\mathfrak{t}$-loops that each get deformed in a different way. We require that the deformed…

This paper concerns the enumeration of isomorphism classes of modules of a polynomial algebra in several variables over a finite field. This is the same as the classification of commuting tuples of matrices over a finite field up to…

We consider a new class of matrices associated to a real square matrix $A$ and to a vector $\vec{c} \in \{-1,1\}^n$ such that $c_1=1$ by using a map $\varphi_{\vec{c}}$ which turns out to be a conjugation of a matrix $A$ by a signature…

Given k sets such that no one is contained in another, there is an associated lattice on the power set P([k]) corresponding to inclusion relations among unions of the sets. Two lattices on P([k]) are equivalent if there is a permutation of…

We prove a homotopy invariance result for the first cohomology group of the special unitary group $\mathrm{SU}_3(F[t])$ with coefficients in irreducible representations of $\mathrm{PGL}_2(F)$. The main theorem establishes that this…

We characterize in terms of the Goldman Lie algebra which conjugacy classes in the fundamental group of a surface with non empty boundary are represented by simple closed curves. We prove the following: A non power conjugacy class X…

It is known that the variety of pairs of n x n commuting upper triangular matrices isn't a complete intersection for infinitely many values of n; we show that there exists m such that this happens if and only if n > m. We also show that m <…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field. We show that any representation of a maximal compact subgroup of $\mathbf{SL}_N(F)$ which is typical for an essentially tame supercuspidal representation must be induced from a Bushnell--Kutzko…

In this paper we give an explicit formula for the number of subgroups of the modular group of a given index that are genus zero and torsion-free and a formula for their conjugacy classes. We do so by exhibiting a correspondence between…

We consider the problem of finding the number of matrices over a finite field with a certain rank and with support that avoids a subset of the entries. These matrices are a q-analogue of permutations with restricted positions (i.e., rook…

We prove a representation theorem for totally ordered idempotent monoids via a nested sum construction. Using this representation theorem we obtain a characterization of the subdirectly irreducible members of the variety of semilinear…

The Deligne-Simpson problem is formulated like this: give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\subset SL(n,{\bf C})$ or $c_j\subset sl(n,{\bf C})$ so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples of…
