We establish two free constructions of geometries of Coxeter type. The first construction deals with any Coxeter diagram having no subdiagram of type A_3, the second one with diagrams of type C_n and H_4.
Holm introduced $m$-free $\ell$-arrangements which is a generalization of free arrangements, while he asked whether all $\ell$-arrangements are $m$-free for $m$ large enough. Recently Abe and the author verified that this question is in the…
Suppose that W is a finite, unitary reflection group acting on the complex vector space V. Let A = A(W) be the associated hyperplane arrangement of W. Terao has shown that each such reflection arrangement A is free. There is the stronger…
The extended Shi and Catalan arrangements are well investigated arrangements. In this paper, we prove that the cone of the extended Catalan arrangement of type A is always hereditarily free, while we determine the dimension in which the…
We prove that if A is a large random relational structure with at least one relation of arity at least 2 then the problem EXT(A) is almost surely NP-complete.
We give a complete classification of free and non-free multiplicities on the $A_3$ braid arrangement. Namely, we show that all free multiplicities on $A_3$ fall into two families that have been identified by Abe-Terao-Wakefield (2007) and…
We show that the deletion theorem of a free arrangement is combinatorial, i.e., whether we can delete a hyperplane from a free arrangement keeping freeness depends only on the intersection lattice. In fact, we give an explicit sufficient…
A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…
We show that finite rank perturbations of certain random matrices fit in the framework of infinitesimal (type B) asymptotic freeness. This can be used to explain the appearance of free harmonic analysis (such as subordination functions…
We study the structure of the language of binary cube-free words. Namely, we are interested in the cube-free words that cannot be infinitely extended preserving cube-freeness. We show the existence of such words with arbitrarily long finite…
In this paper, we study the class of free multiarrangements of hyperplanes. Specifically, we investigate the relations between freeness over a field of finite characteristic and freeness over the rationals.
We associate in a canonical way a substitution to any abstract numeration system built on a regular language. In relationship with the growth order of the letters, we define the notion of two independent substitutions. Our main result is…
We construct counterexamples to the conjecture that every free arrangement is recursively free in characteristic zero. The intersection lattice of our smallest example has a realization over a finite field which is recursively free, thus…
We introduce a notion of "freely braided element" for simply laced Coxeter groups. We show that an arbitrary group element $w$ has at most $2^{N(w)}$ commutation classes of reduced expressions, where $N(w)$ is a certain statistic defined in…
In this paper, we study extensions of valuations over algebraic field extensions without the use of the Axiom of Choice. We show a bijection between the extensions of a valuation and the maximal ideals of the relative integral closure of…
Let $\k$ be a field, and let $A$ and $B$ be connected $\N$-graded $\k$-algebras. The algebra $A$ is said to be a graded right-free extension of $B$ provided there is a surjective graded algebra morphism $\pi: A \to B$ such that $\ker\pi$ is…
After deriving inequalities on coefficients arising in the expansion of a Schur $P$-function in terms of Schur functions we give criteria for when such expansions are multiplicity free. From here we study the multiplicity of an irreducible…
We exhibit a particular free subarrangement of a certain restriction of the Weyl arrangement of type $E_7$ and use it to give an affirmative answer to a recent conjecture by T.~Abe on the nature of additionally free and stair-free…
We consider two extensions of free probability that have been studied in the research literature, and are based on the notions of c-freeness and respectively of infinitesimal freeness for noncommutative random variables. In a 2012 paper,…
In this paper we define a new type of continued fraction expansion for a real number $x \in I_m:=[0,m-1], m\in N_+, m\geq 2$: \[x = \frac{m^{-b_1(x)}}{\displaystyle 1+\frac{m^{-b_2(x)}}{1+\ddots}}:=[b_1(x), b_2(x), ...]_m. \] Then, we…
