Permutation polynomials have been a subject of study for a long time and have applications in many areas of science and engineering. However, only a small number of specific classes of permutation polynomials are described in the literature…
Based on recent successes concerning permutation resolutions of representations by Balmer and Gallauer we define a new invariant of finite groups: the p-permutation dimension. We define this analogously to the global dimension of a ring by…
Dynamic Complexity was introduced by Immerman and Patnaik PI97 in the nineties and has seen a resurgence of interest with the positive resolution of their conjecture on directed reachability in DynFO DKMSZ18. Since then many natural…
This article is an elaboration of a talk given at an international conference on Operator Theory, Quantum Probability, and Noncommutative Geometry held during December~20--23, 2004, at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. The lecture…
Complex extension of quantum mechanics and the discovery of pseudo-unitarily invariant random matrix theory has set the stage for a number of applications of these concepts in physics. We briefly review the basic ideas and present…
I present the reconstruction of the involvement of Karl Popper in the community of physicists concerned with foundations of quantum mechanics, in the 1980s. At that time Popper gave active contribution to the research in physics, of which…
In this paper we establish some properties of percolation for the vacant set of random interlacements, for d at least 5 and small intensity u. The model of random interlacements was first introduced by A.S. Sznitman in arXiv:0704.2560. It…
These notes illustrates the power of formulating ideas of commutative algebra in a homotopy invariant form. They can then be applied to derived categories of rings or ring spectra. These ideas are powerful in classical algebra, in…
These are notes of a graduate course on representations of non-compact semisimple Lie groups given by the author at MIT.
In this paper we study the finite groups in which every element has prime power order, briefly them EPPO-groups. The classification of EPPO-groups is given including the cases of solvable, non-solvable and simple EPPO-groups. This paper is…
Various kinds of infinitary operations satisfying forms of associativity have been considered in the literature by various authors, including A. Tarski, C. Karp, J. H. Conway, D. Krob, N. Bedon, and C. Rispal. Applications include the…
How does an irreducible representation of a group behave when restricted to a subgroup? This is part of branching problems, which are one of the fundamental problems in representation theory, and also interact naturally with other fields of…
One of von Neumann's motivations for developing the theory of operator algebras and his and Murray's 1936 classification of factors was the question of possible decompositions of quantum systems into independent parts. For quantum systems…
In [1, arXiv:1102.1844] the author disputes the conclusion of our paper [2, arXiv:1006.0714]. He claims that the Feynman graphs of three dimensional group field theory always represent pseudo manifolds. However, [1] uses a different…
There is a compactification of the space of representations of a finitely generated group into the groups of isometries of all spaces with $\Delta$-thin triangles. The ideal points are actions on $\mathbb R$-trees. It is a geometric…
These lecture notes provide a self-contained introduction to Euler integrals, which are frequently encountered in applications. In particle physics, they arise as Feynman integrals or string amplitudes. Our four selected topics demonstrate…
This note is devoted to a detail concerning the work of Albert Einstein and Peter Bergmann on unified theories of electromagnetism and gravitation in five dimensions. In their paper of 1938, Einstein and Bergmann were among the first to…
We give an infinite presentation for the mapping class group of a non-orientable surface with boundary components. The presentation is a generalization of the presentation given by the second author [15].
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
These lecture notes were written during a mini-course on noncommutative Lp-spaces at the Basque Center of Applied Mathematics. It starts presenting the theory of weights and traces in von Neumann algebra, followed by the theory of…
