Recent stringent experiment data of neutrino oscillations induces partial symmetries such as $Z_{2}$, $Z_{2}\times CP$ to derive lepton mixing patterns. New partial symmetries expressed with elements of group algebras are studied. A…

Let Lambda be a tiled R-order. We give a description of Aut_R(Lambda) as the semidirect product of Inn(Lambda) and a certain subgroup of Aut(Q(Lambda)), where Q(Lambda) is the link graph of Lambda. Additionally, we give criteria for…

Mixed oriented and nonoriented center vortices are known to generate nontrivial topological charge. However, most previous analyses have been restricted to Abelian-projected thin configurations. Studies of thick vortices have so far focused…

We study a generalization of the partially asymmetric exclusion process (PASEP) in which there are $k$ species of particles of varying weights hopping right and left on a one-dimensional lattice of $n$ sites with open boundaries. In this…

A vertex-transitive map $X$ is a map on a surface on which the automorphism group of $X$ acts transitively on the set of vertices of $X$. If the face-cycles at all the vertices in a map are of same type then the map is called a…

In this article we define an encoding for parabolic permutations that distinguishes between parabolic $231$-avoiding permutations. We prove that the componentwise order on these codes realizes the parabolic Tamari lattice, and conclude a…

We discuss the possibility of finding n-type nematic order in the vicinity of a FM phase in the multiple--spin exchange model on the triangular lattice. We study this problem both from S=\infty (classical) and S=1/2 (quantum) limits.

We prove and generalize a conjecture in arXiv:1610.0474(4) about the asymptotics of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n!}} f^{\lambda/\mu}$, where $f^{\lambda/\mu}$ is the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape $\lambda/\mu$ which have stable limit…

Many (if not most) of convex polytopes, important for combinatorial and algebraic geometry, are closely related to secondary polytopes of point configurations, or base polytopes of submodular functions, or their numerous variations and…

We give an alternative proof of a (former) conjecture of Bj\"orner stating that the matrix expressing face numbers in terms of g numbers is totally non-negative. We briefly discuss the case of simple flag polytopes.

We show that, for a certain class of partitions and an even number of variables of which half are reciprocals of the other half, Schur polynomials can be factorized into products of odd and even orthogonal characters. We also obtain related…

The usual, or type A_n, Tamari lattice is a partial order on T_n^A, the triangulations of an (n+3)-gon. We define a partial order on T_n^B, the set of centrally symmetric triangulations of a (2n+2)-gon. We show that it is a lattice, and…

We give new interpretations of the $\nu$-Tamari lattice of Pr\'eville-Ratelle and Viennot. First, we describe it as a rotation lattice of $\nu$-trees, which uncovers the relation with known combinatorial objects such as tree-like tableaux…

An Alternating Sign Matrix (ASM) is a square matrix with entries in $\{0,1,-1\}$, and such that: $i)$ in each row and columns, nonzero entries alternate in sign; $ii)$ for any given row or column, entries sum up to 1. We define the…

In the early 1990's, Billera and Sturmfels introduced the monotone path polytope (MPP), a special case of the general theory of fiber polytopes that associates a polytope to a pair $(P,\varphi)$ of a polytope $P$ and linear functional…

We establish a characterization of alternating links in terms of definite spanning surfaces. We apply it to obtain a new proof of Tait's conjecture that reduced alternating diagrams of the same link have the same crossing number and writhe.…

Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We present a unifying perspective on ASMs and other combinatorial objects by studying…

In this paper, we consider polynomials associated with faces and internal quadrilaterals of a cuboctahedron and classify them under the requirement that they are consistent. These polynomials give rise to a system of partial difference…

We show that there is the same number of (n,l)-alternating sign trapezoids as there is of column strict shifted plane partitions of class l-1 with at most n parts in the top row, thereby proving a result that was conjectured independently…

Let $D$ be an oriented link diagram with the set of regions $\operatorname{r}_{D}$. We define a symmetric map (or matrix) $\operatorname{\tau}_{D}\colon\operatorname{r}_{D}\times \operatorname{r}_{D} \to \mathbb{Z}[x]$ that gives rise to an…
