We consider three notions of connectivity and their interactions in partially ordered sets coming from reduced factorizations of an element in a generated group. While one form of connectivity essentially reflects the connectivity of the…

For a morphism f in a category C with sufficiently many finite limits and colimits, we discuss an elementary construction of a decomposition of f through objects P and N which, if C happens to have a zero object, amounts to the standard…

We define a new structure on a space endowed with convexities, and call it a fractoconvex structure (or, a space with fractoconvexity). We introduce two operations on a set of fractoconvexities and in a special case we show that they…
