In this short note we show that a system $M=(E,r)$ with a ground set $E$ of size $m$ and (rank) function $r: 2^E\to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ satisfying $r(S)\leq \min(r(E),|S|)$ for every set $S\subseteq E$, the Tutte polynomial…

A set $S \subseteq V$ of the graph $G = (V, E)$ is called a $[1, 2]$-set of $G$ if any vertex which is not in $S$ has at least one but no more than two neighbors in $S$. A set $S \subseteq V$ is called a $[1, 2]$-total set of $G$ if any…

In this note, using a representation theoretic method of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro, we prove the Kuznetsov trace formula for an arbitrary discrete group $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ that is cofinite but not cocompact. An…

We study the rank of the random $n\times m$ 0/1 matrix ${\bf A}_{n,m;k}$ where each column is chosen independently from the set $\Omega_{n,k}$ of 0/1 vectors with exactly $k$ 1's. Here 0/1 are the elements of the field $GF_2$. We obtain an…

T. De Medts, Y. Segev and K. Tent [Special Moufang sets, their root groups and their \mu-maps, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 96 (2008), 767-791] proved that the little projective group of a special Moufang set M(U,\tau) is perfect provided…

The action of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ on the integer torus and its quotient by central symmetry and Artin's presentation of three strings braids, produces a presentation with parabolic generators $\pmatrix{1& -1\cr 0& 1\cr}$ and $\pmatrix{1&…

For each Baumslag-Solitar group BS(m,n) (m,n nonzero integers), a totally disconnected, locally compact group, G_{m,n}, is constructed so that BS(m,n) is identified with a dense subgroup of G_{m,n}. The scale function on G_{m,n}, a…

Variational minimization of the ground-state energy as a function of the two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM), constrained by necessary $N$-representability conditions, provides a polynomial-scaling approach to studying strongly…

The Serre conjecture II predicts that every torsor under a semisimple, simply connected, algebraic group over a field of cohomological dimension at most 2 and of degree of imperfection at most 1 has a rational point. We generalize this…

Let $M$ be a random matrix chosen according to Haar measure from the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n,\mathbb{C})$. Diaconis and Shahshahani proved that the traces of $M,M^2,\ldots,M^k$ converge in distribution to independent normal variables as…

A certain generalization of the Selberg trace formula was proved by the first named author in 1999. In this generalization instead of considering the integral of $K(z,z)$ (where $K(z,w)$ is an automorphic kernel function) over the…

First time, we introduce Extended special linear group $ESL_2(F)$, which is generalization of matrix group $SL_2(F)$ over arbitrary field $F$. Extended special linear group $ESL_2(k)$, where $k$ is arbitrary perfect field, is storage of all…

The Shub-Smale Tau Conjecture is a hypothesis relating the number of integral roots of a polynomial f in one variable and the Straight-Line Program (SLP) complexity of f. A consequence of the truth of this conjecture is that, for the…

Let $k$ and $n$ be positive integers. Define $R(n,k)$ to be the minimum positive value of $$ | e_i \sqrt{s_1} + e_2 \sqrt{s_2} + ... + e_k \sqrt{s_k} -t | $$ where $ s_1, s_2, ..., s_k$ are positive integers no larger than $n$, $t$ is an…

We propose a graph theoretic approach to determine trace of product of two permutation matrices through a weighted digraph representation of the permutation matrices. Consequently, we derive trace-zero doubly stochastic (DS) matrices of…

It is proved that the reduced group C*-algebra C*_{red}(G) has stable rank one (i.e. its group of invertible elements is a dense subset) if G is a discrete group arising as a free product G_1*G_2 where |G_1|>=2 and |G_2|>=3. This follows…

Regular maps on linear fractional groups $PSL(2,q)$ and $PGL(2,q$) have been studied for many years and the theory is well-developed, including generating sets for the asscoiated groups. This paper studies the properties of self-duality,…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…
