Transformational music theory is a recent field in music theory which studies the possible transformations between musical objects, such as chords. In the framework of the theory initiated by David Lewin, the set of all transformations…

After presenting the general framework of 'mathemusical' dynamics, we focus on one music-theoretical problem concerning a special case of homometry theory applied to music composition, namely Milton Babbitt's hexachordal theorem. We briefly…

Cadences are complex structures that have been driving music from the beginning of contrapuntal polyphony until today. Detecting such structures is vital for numerous MIR tasks such as musicological analysis, key detection, or music…

Communities are clusters of nodes with a higher than average density of internal connections. Their detection is of great relevance to better understand the structure and hierarchies present in a network. Modularity has become a standard…

The abstraction of musical structures (notes, melodies, chords, harmonic or rhythmic progressions, etc.) as mathematical objects in a geometrical space is one of the great accomplishments of contemporary music theory. Building on this…

Modularity is a very widely used measure of the level of clustering or community structure in networks. Here we consider a recent generalisation of the definition of modularity to temporal graphs, whose edge-sets change over discrete…

We consider Gallai's graph Modular Decomposition theory for network analytics. On the one hand, by arguing that this is a choice tool for understanding structural and functional similarities among nodes in a network. On the other, by…

Modular Decomposition focuses on repeatedly identifying a module M (a collection of vertices that shares exactly the same neighbourhood outside of M) and collapsing it into a single vertex. This notion of exactitude of neighbourhood is very…

To a simple graph we associate a so-called graph series, which can be viewed as the Hilbert--Poincar\'e series of a certain infinite jet scheme. We study new $q$-representations and examine modular properties of several examples including…

A graph with a semiregular group of automorphisms can be thought of as the derived cover arising from a voltage graph. Since its inception, the theory of voltage graphs and their derived covers has been a powerful tool used in the study of…
