Let $\mathcal P_X$ and $\mathcal S_X$ be the partition monoid and symmetric group on an infinite set $X$. We show that $\mathcal P_X$ may be generated by $\mathcal S_X$ together with two (but no fewer) additional partitions, and we classify…

A matroid of rank $r$ on $n$ elements is a positroid if it has a representation by an $r$ by $n$ matrix over $\mathbb{R}$, each $r$ by $r$ submatrix of which has nonnegative determinant. Earlier characterizations of connected positroids and…

We study conditions on automorphisms of Boolean algebras of the form $P(\lambda)/I_\kappa$ (where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal and $I_\kappa$ is the ideal of sets of cardinality less than $\kappa$) which allow one to conclude that a…

In this paper we propose a finite-dimensional and deterministic approach to the study of invariant sets of certain nonautonomous differential inclusions naturally arising in the context of random and control dynamical systems, as well as in…

We describe a simple scheme for constructing finitely generated monoids in which left-divisibility is a linear ordering and for practically investigating these monoids. The approach is based on subword reversing, a general method of…

We investigate the concept of definable, or inner, automorphism in the logical setting of partial Horn theories. The central technical result extends a syntactical characterization of the group of such automorphisms (called the covariant…

Suppose that $\Phi:X\to Y$ is a morphism from a 3 fold to a surface (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). We prove that there exist sequences of blowups of nonsingular subvarieties $X_1\to X$ and $Y_1\to Y$ such that…

We develop a unified representation theory for the categories of finite subsets and relation-preserving maps of highly homogeneous relational structures classified by Cameron. For any commutative coefficient ring $k$, we extend the…

Let $K$ be an {\em arbitrary} field of characteristic $p>0$, let $A$ be one of the following algebras: $P_n:= K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ is a polynomial algebra, $\CD (P_n)$ is the ring of differential operators on $P_n$, $\CD (P_n)\t P_m$, the…

Let $H$ be a monoid, $\mathscr F(X)$ be the free monoid on a set $X$, and $\pi_H$ be the unique extension of the identity map on $H$ to a monoid homomorphism $\mathscr F(H) \to H$. Given $A \subseteq H$, an $A$-word $\mathfrak z$ (i.e., an…

Let X be an affine irreducible variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Given an automorphism F, we denote by k(X)^F its field of invariants, i.e. the set of rational functions f on X such that f(F)=f. Let n(F)…

In this paper, we prove that infinite cancellative finitely generated hyperbolic monoids never contain $\mathbb N\times\mathbb N$ as a submonoid but that they contain an element of infinite order and, if they are elementary, then they also…

The set of natural integers is fundamental for at least two reasons: it is the free induction algebra over the empty set (and at such allows definitions of maps by primitive recursion) and it is the free monoid over a one-element set, the…

J.-P. Thouvenot and the author showed via different approaches that the centralizer of a mixing rank-one infinite measure preserving transformation was trivial. In this note the author presents his joining proof. We also consider…

For a geometrically rational surface X over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2 and 3 that contains all roots of 1, we show that either X is birational to a product of a projective line and a conic, or the group of…

We prove that a quasi-finite endomorphism of an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, that is injective on the complement of a closed subvariety, is an automorphism. We also prove that an endomorphism…

We prove that an automorphism of order 3 of a putative binary self-dual [120, 60, 24] code C has no fixed points. Moreover, the order of the automorphism group of C divides 2^a.3.5.7.19.23.29 where a is a nonegative integer. Automorphisms…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module on a local ring $R$ and $\F: M_0\subset M_1\subset...\subset M_t=M$ a filtration of submodules of $M$ such that $ d_o<d_1< ... <d_t=d$, where $d_i=\dim M_i$. This paper is concerned with a non-negative…

Let $K$ be a field. We attach to each finite poset $\mathbb P$ a von Neumann regular $K$-algebra $Q_K(\mathbb P)$ in a functorial way. We show that the monoid of isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective $Q_K(\mathbb P)$-modules…

Let $n$ be a positive integer $\geqslant 2$ and $\mathbb{N}^n_{\leqslant}$ be the $n$-th power of positive integers with the product order of the usual order on $\mathbb{N}$. In the paper we study the semigroup of injective partial monotone…
