We introduce the notion of q-analogs of strongly regular graphs and give several examples of such structures. We prove a necessary condition on the parameters, show the connection to designs over finite fields, and present a classification.
The inducibility of a graph represents its maximum density as an induced subgraph over all possible sequences of graphs of size growing to infinity. This invariant of graphs has been extensively studied since its introduction in $1975$ by…
In geometric representation theory, one often wishes to describe representations realized on spaces of invariant functions as trace functions of equivariant perverse sheaves. In the case of principal series representations of a connected…
In a nutshell, submodular functions encode an intuitive notion of diminishing returns. As a result, submodularity appears in many important machine learning tasks such as feature selection and data summarization. Although there has been a…
We consider matrices with entries that are polynomials in $q$ arising from natural $q$-generalisations of two well-known formulas that count: forests on $n$ vertices with $k$ components; and trees on $n+1$ vertices where $k$ children of the…
We classify all real and strongly real classes of the finite special unitary group $SU_n(q)$. Unless $q \equiv 3 (mod 4)$ and $n |4$, the classification of real classes is similar to that of the finite special linear group $SL_n(q)$. We…
An algebraic formalism, developped with V. Glaser and R. Stora for the study of the generalized retarded functions of quantum field theory, is used to prove a factorization theorem which provides a complete description of the generalized…
Drinfeld realisations are constructed for the quantum affine superalgebras of the series ${\rm\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2n)^{(1)}$,${\rm\mathfrak{sl}}(1|2n)^{(2)}$ and ${\rm\mathfrak{osp}}(2|2n)^{(2)}$. By using the realisations, we develop vertex…
The classical theory of elliptic curves with complex multiplication is a fundamental tool for studying the arithmetic of abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields. While no direct analogue is available for real quadratic fields, a…
In this paper we complete the results of Sullivant and Sturmfels proving that many of the algebraic group-based models for Markov processes on trees are pseudo-toric. We also show in which cases these varieties are normal. This is done by…
We establish a connection between Drinfeld modules and rank-metric codes, focusing on the case of semifield codes. Our method constructs rank-metric codes from linear subspaces of endomorphisms of a Drinfeld module acting on torsion…
Interval and proper interval graphs are very well-known graph classes, for which there is a wide literature. As a consequence, some generalizations of interval graphs have been proposed, in which graphs in general are expressed in terms of…
We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…
In previous work, the authors introduced the notion of Q-Koszul algebras, as a tool to "model" module categories for semisimple algebraic groups over fields of large characteristics. Here we suggest the model extends to small…
The first part of this work constructs positive-genus real Gromov-Witten invariants of real-orientable symplectic manifolds of odd "complex" dimensions; the present part focuses on their properties that are essential for actually working…
For an extension $K/\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ of the rational function field over a finite field, we introduce the notion of virtually $K$-rational Drinfeld modules as a function field analogue of $\mathbb{Q}$-curves. Our goal in this article is to…
The irreducible components of varieties parametrizing the finite dimensional representations of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ are explored, with regard to both their geometry and the structure of the modules they encode. Provided…
We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…
Building on the work [18], where some standard basis for the queer $q$-Schur superalgebra $\mathcal{Q}_q(n,r;R)$ is defined by a labelling set of matrices and their associated double coset representatives, we investigate the matrix…
We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…
