We study the large scale geometry of the mapping class group, MCG. Our main result is that for any asymptotic cone of MCG, the maximal dimension of locally compact subsets coincides with the maximal rank of free abelian subgroups of MCG. An…

An $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear set of rank $k$ on a projective line $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^h)$, containing at least one point of weight one, has size at least $q^{k-1}+1$ (see [J. De Beule and G. Van De Voorde, The minimum size of a linear set, J.…

Under $\mathrm{ZF}$, we show that the statement that every subset of every $\mathbb{R}$-vector space has a maximal convex subset is equivalent to the Axiom of Choice. We also study the strength of the same statement restricted to some…

Rank functors on a quiver $Q$ are certain additive functors from the category of representations of $Q$ to the category of finite-dimensional vector spaces. Composing with the dimension function on vector spaces gives a rank function on…

Let $G$ be a special $p$-group. If $G$ is of rank two, or $G$ is of maximum rank with $|G^p|\leq p$, then we describe the complex irreducible projective representations of $G$.

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be a division ring and $\mathbb{F}$ be a subfield of the center of $\mathbb{D}$ over which $\mathbb{D}$ has finite dimension $d$. Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers and $\mathcal{V}$ be an affine subspace of the…

We consider the group theoretical properties of R--R scalars of string theories in the low-energy supergravity limit and relate them to the solvable Lie subalgebra $\IG_s\subset U$ of the U--duality algebra that generates the scalar…

If $R$ is a valuation domain of maximal ideal $P$ with a maximal immediate extension of finite rank it is proven that there exists a finite sequence of prime ideals $P=L_0\supset L_1\supset...\supset L_m\supseteq 0$ such that…

Gaussian elimination answers any question about a finitely presented vector space. However, a "uniform family" of such presentations--given as generic relations among an unspecified number of generators--is susceptible to elimination only…

In this work we introduce the spaces $L^p_{w}(\nu; X; Y)$ for the case where $\nu$ is a vector measure and the functions are vector-valued. We establish fundamental properties for such spaces.

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field. Denote by $t_n(\mathbb{F})$ the greatest possible dimension for a vector space of $n$-by-$n$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}$ in which every element is triangularizable over $\mathbb{F}$. It was recently proved that…

This paper defines, for each convex polytope $\Delta$, a family $H_w\Delta$ of vector spaces. The definition uses a combination of linear algebra and combinatorics. When what is called exact calculation holds, the dimension $h_w\Delta$ of…

A W-algebra is an associative algebra constructed from a semisimple Lie algebra and its nilpotent element. This paper concentrates on the study of 1-dimensional representations of these algebras. Under some conditions on a nilpotent element…

In this paper we formulate a conjecture about the minimal dimensional representations of the finite $W$-superalgebra $U(\mathfrak{g}_\bbc,e)$ over the field of complex numbers and demonstrate it with examples including all the cases of type…

An arc is a set of vectors of the $k$-dimensional vector space over the finite field with $q$ elements ${\mathbb F}_q$, in which every subset of size $k$ is a basis of the space, i.e. every $k$-subset is a set of linearly independent…

A subspace of matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^e}^{m\times n}$ can be naturally embedded as a subspace of matrices in $\mathbb{F}_q^{em\times en}$ with the property that the rank of any of its matrix is a multiple of $e$. It is quite natural to…

We consider relative character varieties on $\mathbb{P}^1\backslash\{0,1,\infty\}$ with $G=GL(r), O(r)$, or $Sp(r)$. Using a diagrammatic method of Simpson's, we give an explicit linear upper bound $R(d)$ on the rank $r$ of an MC-minimal…

We extend the definition of quasi-finite complexes by considering not necessarily countable complexes. We provide a characterization of quasi-finite complexes in terms of L-invertible maps and dimensional properties of compactifications.…

For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and every field $K$, let $N(n,K)$ be the set of the nilpotent $n \times n$ matrices over $K$ and let $D(n,K) $ be the set of the $n \times n$ matrices over $K$ which are diagonalizable over $K$. Moreover, let…
