Concentration compactness method is a powerful techniques for establishing existence of minimizers for inequalities and of critical points of functionals in general. The paper gives a functional-analytic formulation for the method in Banach…

In [S. Kitaev and J. Remmel: Classifying descents according to parity] the authors refine the well-known permutation statistic "descent" by fixing parity of (exactly) one of the descent's numbers. In this paper, we generalize the results of…

The interval poset of a permutation is the set of intervals of a permutation, ordered with respect to inclusion. It has been introduced and studied recently in [B. Tenner, arXiv:2007.06142]. We study this poset from the perspective of the…

The aim of the present paper is to extend the concept of a congruence from lattices to posets. We use an approach different from that used by the first author and V. Sn\'a\v{s}el. By using our definition we show that congruence classes are…

An algebra $\mathbf A = \langle A, \to, 0 \rangle$, where $\to$ is binary and $0$ is a constant, is called an implication zroupoid ($\mathcal I$-zroupoid, for short) if $\mathbf A$ satisfies the identities: $(x \to y) \to z \approx ((z' \to…

Given a measurable space (X, M) there is a (Galois) connection between sub-sigma-algebras of M and equivalence relations on X. On the other hand equivalence relations on X are closely related to congruences on stochastic relations. In…

The $\mathcal{R}$-height of a semigroup $S$ is the height of the poset of $\mathcal{R}$-classes of $S,$ i.e. the supremum of the lengths of chains of $\mathcal{R}$-classes. Given a semigroup $S$ with finite $\mathcal{R}$-height, we…

A key theorem of Yakimov's proves that the torus-invariant prime spectra of De Concini-Kac-Procesi algebras are isomorphic as partially ordered sets to corresponding Bruhat order intervals of Weyl groups. We present examples of more general…

In this article, we first show that in case $n$ is even which Coxeter element in $\mathfrak{S}_{n}$ affords the longest by taking its power to $n/2$. We also show that in case $n$ is odd which Coxeter element affords the longest in…

In this paper we define a congruence $\eta^{\ast}$ on semigroups. For the finite semigroups $S$, $\eta^{\ast}$ is the smallest congruence relation such that $S/\eta^{\ast}$ is a nilpotent semigroup (in the sense of Malcev). In order to…

Let R be the polynomial ring in n variables, acted on by the symmetric group S_n. Soergel constructed a full monoidal subcategory of R-bimodules which categorifies the Hecke algebra, whose objects are now known as Soergel bimodules. Soergel…

A Coxeter group of classical type $A_n$, $B_n$ or $D_n$ contains a chain of subgroups of the same type. We show that intersections of conjugates of these subgroups are again of the same type, and make precise in which sense and to what…

We show that the principal order ideal below an element w in the Bruhat order on involutions in a symmetric group is a Boolean lattice if and only if w avoids the patterns 4321, 45312 and 456123. Similar criteria for signed permutations are…

The following is shown : Let $S=\{a_1,a_2,..,a_{2n}\}$ be a subset of a totally ordered commutative semi-group $(G,*,\leq)$ with $a_1\leq a_2\leq...\leq a_{2n}$. Provided that a system of $n$ $a_{i_k} * a_{j_k}\ (a_{i_k}, a_{j_k} \in G ;\ 1…

It is known that the number of permutations in the symmetric group $S_{2n}$ with cycles of odd lengths only is equal to the number of permutations with cycles of even lengths only. We prove a refinement of this equality, involving descent…

In this note we investigate correlation inequalities for `up-sets' of permutations, in the spirit of the Harris--Kleitman inequality. We focus on two well-studied partial orders on $S_n$, giving rise to differing notions of up-sets. Our…

We study isometric representations of the semigroup $\mathbb{Z}_+\backslash \{1\}$. Notion of an inverse representation is introduced and a complete description (up to unitary equivalence) of such representations is given. Also, we study a…

We define combinatorially a partial order on the set partitions and show that it is equivalent to the Bruhat-Chevalley-Renner order on the upper triangular matrices. By considering subposets consisting of set partitions with a fixed number…

For a connected complex semi-simple Lie group $G$ and a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we determine when the intersection of a conjugacy class $C$ in $G$ and a double coset $BwB^-$ is non-empty, where $w$ is in…

The equivariant $\mathcal{W}$-algebra of a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a BRST reduction of the algebra of chiral differential operators on the Lie group of $\mathfrak{g}$. We construct a family of vertex algebras $A[\mathfrak{g},…
