We show that the Whitney function of a q-matroid can be determined from the cloud and flock polynomials associated to the cyclic flats. These polynomials capture information about the corank (resp., nullity) of certain spaces whose cyclic…

In this paper, we study the unimodular equivalence of sublattices in an $n$-dimensional lattice. A recursive procedure is given to compute the cardinalities of the unimodular equivalent classes with the indices which are powers of a prime…

We compute the nonlinearity of Boolean functions with Groebner basis techniques, providing two algorithms: one over the binary field and the other over the rationals. We also estimate their complexity. Then we show how to improve our…

Let kappa be an uncountable regular cardinal. Call an equivalence relation on functions from kappa into 2 Sigma_1^1-definable over H(kappa) if there is a first order sentence F and a parameter R subseteq H(kappa) such that functions…

The general Galois theory for functions and relational constraints over arbitrary sets described in the authors' previous paper is refined by imposing algebraic conditions on relations.

We associate to each Boolean function a polynomial whose evaluations represents the distances from all possible Boolean affine functions. Both determining the coefficients of this polynomial from the truth table of the Boolean function and…

We classify binary minimal clones into seven categories: affine algebras, rectangular bands, $p$-cyclic groupoids, spirals, non-Taylor partial semilattices, melds, and dispersive algebras. Each category has nice enough properties to…

We evaluate correlation functions of the BCS model for finite number of particles. The integrability of the Hamiltonian relates it with the Gaudin algebra ${\cal G}[sl(2)]$. Therefore, a theorem that Sklyanin proved for the Gaudin model,…

In this paper, we study the learnability of the Boolean class of $d$-monotone functions $f:{\cal X}\to\{0,1\}$ from membership and equivalence queries, where $({\cal X},\le)$ is a finite lattice. We show that the class of $d$-monotone…

We affirm a conjecture of Sacks [1972] by showing that every countable distributive lattice is isomorphic to an initial segment of the hyperdegrees, $\mathcal{D}_{h}$. In fact, we prove that every sublattice of any hyperarithmetic lattice…

There are continuum many clones on a three-element set even if they are considered up to \emph{homomorphic equivalence}. The clones we use to prove this fact are clones consisting of \emph{self-dual operations}, i.e., operations that…

We investigate the finitary functions from a finite product of finite fields $\prod_{j =1}^m\mathbb{F}_{q_j} = \mathbb{K}$ to a finite product of finite fields $\prod_{i =1}^n\mathbb{F}_{p_i} = \mathbb{F}$, where $|\mathbb{K}|$ and…

We construct a theory of holant clones to capture the notion of expressibility in the holant framework. Their role is analogous to the role played by functional clones in the study of weighted counting Constraint Satisfaction Problems. We…

We consider $d$-dimensional lattice polytopes $\Delta$ with $h^*$-polynomial $h^*_\Delta=1+h_k^*t^k$ for $1<k<(d+1)/2$ and relate them to some abelian subgroups of $\SL_{d+1}(\C)$ of order $1+h_k^*=p^r$ where $p$ is a prime number. These…

Exhibiting an explicit Boolean function with a large high-order nonlinearity is an important problem in cryptography, coding theory, and computational complexity. We prove lower bounds on the second-order, third-order, and higher-order…

We introduce and study operadic categories with cardinalities in finite sets and establish conditions under which their associated theories of operads and algebras are equivalent to the standard framework introduced in 2015 by Batanin and…

We construct a countable bounded sublattice of the lattice of all subspaces of a vector space with two non-isomorphic maximal Boolean sublattice. We represent one of them as the range of a Banschewski function and we prove that this is not…

The main problem of clone theory is to describe the clone lattice for a given basic set. For a two-element basic set this was resolved by E.L. Post, but for at least three-element basic set the full structure of the lattice is still…

Semantic code clone detection is the task of detecting whether two snippets of code implement the same functionality (e.g., Sort Array). Recently, many neural models achieved near-perfect performance on this task. These models seek to make…

In this note, we establish a functional central limit theorem for the capacity of the range for a class of $\alpha$-stable random walks on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d > 5\alpha/2$. Using similar methods, we also prove an…
