In our paper Semi-symmetric Algebras: General Constructions, J. Algebra, 148 (1992), pp. 479-496, we present the construction of the semi-symmetric algebra of a module over a commutative ring with unit, which generalizes the tensor algebra,…
We adapt methods coming from additive combinatorics in groups to the study of linear span in associative unital algebras. In particular, we establish for these algebras analogues of Diderrich-Kneser's and Hamidoune's theorems on sumsets and…
Geometric algebra was initiated by W.K. Clifford over 130 years ago. It unifies all branches of physics, and has found rich applications in robotics, signal processing, ray tracing, virtual reality, computer vision, vector field processing,…
These are lecture notes of a course taken in Leipzig 2023, spring semester. It deals with extremal combinatorics, algebraic methods and combinatorial geometry. These are not meant to be exhaustive, and do not contain many proofs that were…
We discuss the use of methods coming from integrable systems to study problems of enumerative and algebraic combinatorics, and develop two examples: the enumeration of Alternating Sign Matrices and related combinatorial objects, and the…
For a finite group $G,$ we define the concept of $G$-partial permutation and use it to show that the structure coefficients of the center of the wreath product $G\wr \mathcal{S}_n$ algebra are polynomials in $n$ with non-negative integer…
Through dualities on representations on tensor powers and symmetric powers respectively, the partition algebra and multiset partition algebra have been used to study long-standing questions in the representation theory of the symmetric…
We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…
Consider an algebraic equation $P(x,y)=0$ where $P\in \mathbb C[x,y] $ (or $\mathbb F[x,y]$ with $\mathbb F\subset \mathbb C$ a subfield) is a bivariate polynomial, it defines a plane algebraic curve. We provide an efficient method for…
In this paper we extend the idea of integration to generic algebras. In particular we concentrate over a class of algebras, that we will call self-conjugated, having the property of possessing equivalent right and left multiplication…
The author's idea of {\it algebraic compositeness} of fundamental particles, allowing to understand the existence in Nature of three fermion generations, is revisited. It is based on two postulates. i) For all fundamental particles of…
En esta serie de tres articulos, damos una exposicion de varios resultados y problemas abiertos en tres areas de la combinatoria algebraica y geometrica: las matrices totalmente no negativas, las representaciones del grupo simetrico, y los…
Many combinatorial proofs rely on induction. When these proofs are formulated in traditional language, they can be bulky and unmanageable. Coalgebras provide a language which can reduce reduce many inductive proofs in graded poset theory to…
We show how to use Clifford algebra techniques to describe the de Rham cohomology ring of equal rank compact symmetric spaces $G/K$. In particular, for $G/K=U(n)/U(k)\times U(n-k)$, we obtain a new way of multiplying Schur polynomials,…
In this lecture notes we try to familiarize the audience with the theory of Bernoulli polynomials; we study their properties, and we give, with proofs and references, some of the most relevant results related to them. Several applications…
We consider the example from invariant theory concerning the conjugation action of the general linear group on several copies of the $n \times n$ matrices, and examine a symmetric function which stably describes the Hilbert series for the…
For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on…
This is a gentle introduction to Colombeau nonlinear generalized functions, a generalization of the concept of distributions such that distributions can freely be multiplied. It is intended to physicists and applied mathematicians who…
We give an algebraic formulation based on Clifford algebras and algebraic spinors for quantum information. In this context, logic gates and concepts such as chirality, charge conjugation, parity and time reversal are introduced and explored…
We investigate a class of combinatory algebras, called ribbon combinatory algebras, in which we can interpret both the braided untyped linear lambda calculus and framed oriented tangles. Any reflexive object in a ribbon category gives rise…
