All possible products of all elements of an odd order finite group are considered. A set of all such products is called as a K-set. A hypothesis of K-set coincidence of any group of an odd order with its commutant is proposed and the…

We deal with first-order definability in the embeddability ordering $( \mathcal{D}; \leq)$ of finite directed graphs. A directed graph $G\in \mathcal{D}$ is said to be embeddable into $G' \in \mathcal{D}$ if there exists an injective graph…

A new class of structured matrices is presented and a closed form formula for their determinant is established. This formula has strong connections with the one for Vandermonde matrices.

For an element $g$ in a group $X$, we say that $g$ has 2-part order $2^{a}$ if $2^{a}$ is the largest power of 2 dividing the order of $g$. We prove lower bounds on the proportion of elements in finite classical groups in odd characteristic…

We prove that if a group scheme of multiplicative type acts on an algebraic stack with affine, finitely presented diagonal then the stack of fixed points is algebraic. For this, we extend two theorems of [SGA3.2] on functors of subgroups of…

Many problems can be specified by patterns of propositional formulae depending on a parameter, e.g. the specification of a circuit usually depends on the number of bits of its input. We define a logic whose formulae, called "iterated…

The strong isomorphism classes of extensions of finite groups are parametrized by orbits of a prescribed action on the second cohomology group. We study these orbits in the case of extensions of a finite abelian $p$-group by a cyclic factor…

We present a variety of new results on finite sets A of integers for which the sumset A+A is larger than the difference set A-A, so-called MSTD (more sums than differences) sets. First we show that there is, up to affine transformation, a…

The theme of the first two sections, is to prepare the framework of how from a ``complicated'' family of so called index models $I \in K_1$ we build many and/or complicated structures in a class $K_2$. The index models are…

We establish a fixed-point theorem for the face maps that consist in deleting the $i$th entry of an ordered set. Furthermore, we show that there exists random finite sets of integers that are almost invariant under such deletions.…

We isolate several classes of stationary sets of kappa^omega and investigate implications among them. Under a large cardinal assumption, we prove a structure theorem for stationary sets.

For a pointed topological space $X$, we use an inductive construction of a simplicial resolution of $X$ by wedges of spheres to construct a "higher homotopy structure" for $X$ (in terms of chain complexes of spaces). This structure is then…

In this note explicit algorithms for calculating the exponentials of important structured 4 x 4 matrices are provided. These lead to closed form formulae for these exponentials. The techniques rely on one particular Clifford Algebra…

In this paper we consider two functions related to the arithmetic and geometric means of element orders of a finite group, showing that certain lower bounds on such functions strongly affect the group structure. In particular, for every…

We present a class of orderings L for which there exists a profile u of preferences for a fixed odd number of individuals such that Borda's rule maps u to L.

For commutative rings, we introduce the notion of a {\em universal grading}, which can be viewed as the "largest possible grading". While not every commutative ring (or order) has a universal grading, we prove that every {\em reduced order}…

We classify primitive, rank 1, omega-categorical structures having polynomially many types over finite sets. For a fixed number of 4-types, we show that there are only finitely many such structures and that all are built out of finitely…

We show that a system of unstable higher Toda brackets can be defined inductively.

S. Gudder and, later, S. Pulmanova and E. Vincekova, have studied in two recent papers a certain ordering of bounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. We present some further results on this ordering and show that some structure…

In this paper, we revisit the old problem of compact finite difference approximations of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem in dimension 1. We design a large and natural set of schemes of arbitrary high order, and we equip this set with an…
