On a category $\mathscr{C}$ with a designated (well-behaved) class $\mathcal{M}$ of monomorphisms, a closure operator in the sense of D. Dikranjan and E. Giuli is a pointed endofunctor of $\mathcal{M}$, seen as a full subcategory of the…

This paper proves that the characteristic polynomial is a complete unitary invariant for pairs of projection matrices. Some special cases involving three or more projections are also considered.

The rings of symmetric polynomials form an inverse system whose limit, the ring of symmetric functions, is the model for the bosonic Fock space representation of the affine Lie algebra. We categorify this construction by considering an…

We consider polynomials of the form t^n-1 and determine when members of this family have a divisor of every degree in Z[t]. With F(x) defined to be the number of such integers up to x, we prove the existence of two positive constants c_1…

The notion of a descent polynomial, a function in enumerative combinatorics that counts permutations with specific properties, enjoys a revived recent research interest due to its connection with other important notions in combinatorics,…

Let $f:\mathbb{C}^2 \to \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial map. Let $\mathbb{C}^2 \subset X$ be a compactification of $\mathbb{C}^2$ where $X$ is a smooth rational compact surface and such that there exists a morphism of varieties $\Phi :X\to…

By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…

We prove that the notion of Drinfeld center defines a functor from the category of indecomposable multi-tensor categories with morphisms given by bimodules to that of braided tensor categories with morphisms given by monoidal bimodules.…

One can think of power series or polynomials in one variable, such as $P(x)=2x^3+x+5$, as functors from the category $\mathsf{Set}$ of sets to itself; these are known as polynomial functors. Denote by $\mathsf{Poly}_{\mathsf{Set}}$ the…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with finite class group $G$ and suppose that every class contains a prime divisor. If an element $a \in H$ has a factorization $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k$ into irreducible elements $u_1, \ldots, u_k \in H$, then…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

In the paper "Extensional PERs" by P. Freyd, P. Mulry, G. Rosolini and D. Scott, a category $\mathcal{C}$ of "pointed complete extensional PERs" and computable maps is introduced to provide an instance of an \emph{algebraically compact…

In this paper, we prove that the deformation theory of an object in an $n$-category is controlled by the its $n$-fold endomorphism algebra. This recovers Lurie's results on deforming objects and categories. We also generalize a previous…

For a polynomial in several variables depending on some parameters, we discuss some results to the effect that for almost all values of the parameters the polynomial is irreducible. In particular we recast in this perspective some results…

Let ${\frak K}$ be a class of combinatorial objects invariant with respect to a given regular cyclic group. It is proved that the isomorphism of any two objects $X,Y\in{\frak K}$ can be tested in polynomial time in sizes of $X$ and $Y$.

We define new generalized factorials in several variables over an arbitrary subset $\underline{S} \subseteq R^n,$ where $R$ is a Dedekind domain and $n$ is a positive integer. We then study the properties of the fixed divisor…

A lattice L is called opc if every monotone function f : L^n -> L is induced by a polynomial. We show here: If L is a lattice with the interpolation property whose cardinality is a strong limit cardinal of uncountable cofinality, then some…

We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a quadratic exponential vector with test function in L2(Rd) ? L?(Rd). We prove the linear independence and totality, in the quadratic Fock space, of these vectors. Using a technique…

We consider cubic polynomials f(z)=z^3+az+b defined over the function field C(L), with a marked point of period N and multiplier L. In the case N=1, there are infinitely many such objects, and in the case N>2, only finitely many. The case…

It is known that all $k$-homogeneous orthogonally additive polynomials $P$ over $C(K)$ are of the form $$ P(x)=\int_K x^k d\mu . $$ Thus $x\mapsto x^k$ factors all orthogonally additive polynomials through some linear form $\mu$. We show…
