We define an indicial polynomial of a $D$-module along an arbitrary subvariety as a generalization of both the classical indicial polynomial for a single linear differential equation and the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a variety defined by…

Given a join semilattice $S$ with a minimum $\hat{0}$, the quarks (also called atoms in order theory) are the elements that cover $\hat{0}$, and for each $x \in S \setminus \{\hat{0}\}$ a factorization (into quarks) of $x$ is a minimal set…

Let $\theta$ be an inner function on the unit disk, and let $K^p_\theta:=H^p\cap\theta\overline{H^p_0}$ be the associated star-invariant subspace of the Hardy space $H^p$, with $p\ge1$. While a nontrivial function $f\in K^p_\theta$ is never…

The structure of the multiplicative group $M_n = ({\mathbb Z}/n{\mathbb Z})^\times$ encodes a great deal of arithmetic information about the integer $n$ (examples include $\phi(n)$, the Carmichael function $\lambda(n)$, and the number…

Nonunique factorization in commutative monoids is often studied using factorization invariants, which assign to each monoid element a quantity determined by the factorization structure. For numerical monoids (co-finite, additive submonoids…

Kitaev, Liese, Remmel, and Sagan recently defined generalized factor order on words comprised of letters from a partially ordered set $(P, \leq_P)$ by setting $u \leq_P w$ if there is a subword $v$ of $w$ of the same length as $u$ such that…

We determine the finite groups $G$ in which every subset $A \subseteq G$ of cardinality dividing the order of $G$ is a \emph{factor}, i.e. has a complement $B \subseteq G$ of cardinality $|G|/|A|$ such that $G = A \cdot B$ or $G = B \cdot…

We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…

In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…

In this work, we investigate the existence of a factorization for a unital completely positive map, between non-commutative probability space which do not change the expectation values of the events. These maps are called in literature…

We first extend the Peierls algebra of gauge invariant functions from the space ${\cal S}$ of classical solutions to the space ${\cal H}$ of histories used in path integration and some studies of decoherence. We then show that it may be…

We give partial results on the factorization conjecture on codes proposed by Schutzenberger. We consider finite maximal codes C over the alphabet A = {a, b} with C \cap a^* = a^p, for a prime number p. Let P, S in Z <A>, with S = S_0 + S_1,…

For a positive integer $n$ let $\mathfrak{P}_n=\prod_{s_p(n)\ge p} p,$ where $p$ runs over all primes and $s_p(n)$ is the sum of the base $p$ digits of $n$. For all $n$ we prove that $\mathfrak{P}_n$ is divisible by all "small" primes with…

We give a complete classification of the factorial functions of Eulerian binomial posets. The factorial function B(n) either coincides with $n!$, the factorial function of the infinite Boolean algebra, or $2^{n-1}$, the factorial function…

Given an action of an affine algebraic group with only trivial characters on a factorial variety, we ask for categorical quotients. We characterize existence in the category of algebraic varieties. Moreover, allowing constructible sets as…

We prove a function field analogue of a conjecture of Schinzel on the factorization of univariate polynomials over the rationals. We derive from it a finiteness theorem for the irreducible factorizations of the bivariate Laurent polynomials…

We extend A.B. Mingarelli's method for constructing generalized factorials. Our extension uses a pair of arithmetic functions $(x, y)$, where $x$ is superadditive. When $x$ is the identity function, our generalized factorial reduces to…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $B$ a commutative integral domain that is also a finitely generated $k$-algebra. It is well known that if $k$ is algebraically closed and the "Field Makar-Limanov" invariant FML$(B)$ is equal to…

For a prime $p$, we show that uniqueness of factorization into irreducible $\Sigma_{p^2}$-invariant representations of $\mathbb{Z}/p \wr \mathbb{Z}/p$ holds if and only if $p=2$. We also show nonuniqueness of factorization for…

The author in [7] was proved the generalized remainder and quotient theorems of polynomial in one indeterminate where the divisor is complete factorization to linear factors. In this paper we give the formula for the generalized remainder…
