We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…
We exhibit combinatorial results on Christoffel words and binary balanced words that are motivated by their geometric interpretation as approximations of digital segments. We give a closed formula for counting the exact number of balanced…
Along with some known and less known results, we discuss new insights relating combinatorics of words and the ordering of the rationals from a dynamical systems point of view, somehow continuing along the path started in [BI]. We obtain in…
In this paper, we are going to calculate the determinant of a certain type of square matrices, which are related to the well-known Cauchy and Toeplitz matrices. Then, we will use the results to determine the rank of special non-square…
We show that an asymptotic property of the determinants of certain matrices whose entries are finite sums of cotangents with rational arguments is equivalent to the GRH for odd Dirichlet characters. This is then connected to the existence…
The aim of this work is to derive a symbol calculus on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ for multidimensional Hausdorff operators. Two aspects of this activity result in two almost independent parts. While throughout the perturbation matrices are…
In this paper, we evaluate determinants of some families of Toeplitz-Hessenberg matrices having tribonacci number entries. These determinant formulas may also be expressed equivalently as identities that involve sums of products of…
In this paper, we find determinant formulas of several Hessenberg-Toeplitz matrices whose nonzero entries are derived from the small and large Schroder and Fine number sequences. Algebraic proofs of these results can be given which make use…
We compute the cohomology of crystallographic groups with holonomy of prime order. As an application we compute the group of gerbes associated to many six--dimensional toroidal orbifolds arising in string theory.
A quantum group of type A is defined as a Hopf algebra associated to a Hecke symmetry. We show the homology of a Koszul complex associated to the Hecke symmetry is one dimensional and determines a group-like element in the Hopf algebra.…
A new matrix operation based on inserting columns and rows, similarly to the mediant operation between fractions, gives rise to the Farey determinants matrix or, equivalently, the matrix of the numerators of the differences of Farey…
Additive perturbations, specifically, matrix Uvarov transformations for matrix orthogonal polynomials, are under consideration. Christoffel-Uvarov formulas are deduced for the perturbed biorthogonal families, along with their matrix norms.…
For the symmetric group $S_4$ we determine all the integer values taken by its group determinant when the matrix entries are integers.
We show that certain integral positive definite symmetric tridiagonal matrices of determinant $n$ are in one to one correspondence with elements of $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^*$. We study some properties of this correspondence. In a somewhat…
Let $H$ and $K$ be groups. In this paper we introduce a concept of determinant for automorphisms of $H\times K$ and some concepts of incompatibility for group pairs as a measure of how much $H$ and $K$ are fare from being isomorphic. With…
We present a procedure which enables the computation and the description of structures of isotropy subgroups of the group of complex orthogonal matrices with respect to the action of *congruence on Hermitian matrices. A key ingredient in…
We introduce diophantine approximation groups and their associated Kronecker foliations, using them to provide new algebraic and geometric characterizations of $K$-linear and algebraic dependence. As a consequence we find reformulations --…
We consider two type of upper Hessenberg matrices which determinants are Fibonacci numbers. Calculating sums of principal minors of the fixed order of the first type leads us to convolved Fibonacci numbers. Some identities for these and for…
We give a presentation by generators and relations of a certain monoid generating a subgroup of index two in the group Aut(F_2) of automorphisms of the rank two free group F_2 and show that it can be realized as a monoid in the group B_4 of…
We find an algorithmic procedure that enables to compute and to describe the structure of the isotropy subgroups of the group of complex orthogonal matrices with respect to the action of similarity on complex symmetric matrices. A key step…
