We consider four examples of combinatorial triangles $\left(T(n,k)\right)_{0\le k\le n}$ (Pascal, Stirling of both types, Euler) : through saddle-point asymptotics, their \emph{Pascal's formulas} define four vector fields, together with…

In this paper, we first study biplanes $\mathcal{D}$ with parameters $(v,k,2)$, where the block size $k\in\{13,16\}$. These are the smallest parameter values for which a classification is not available. We show that if $k=13$, then either…

A q-design with parameters t-(v,k,lambda_t)_q is a pair (V, B) of the v-dimensional vector space V over GF(q) and a collection B of k-dimensional subspaces of V, such that each t-dimensional subspace of V is contained in precisely lambda_t…

Suppose that a group $G$ acts transitively on the points of $\mathcal{P}$, a finite non-Desarguesian projective plane. We prove that if $G$ is insoluble then $G/O(G)$ is isomorphic to $SL_2(5)$ or $SL_2(5).2$.

The non-perturbative behaviour of macroscopic loop amplitudes in the exactly solvable string theories based on the KdV hierarchies is considered. Loop equations are presented for the real non-perturbative solutions living on the spectral…

In this short note we prove that the finite non-abelian simple groups PSL(2,q), where q = 5,7, are determined by their posets of classes of isomorphic subgroups. In particular, this disproves the conjecture in the end of [5].

We prove that the combinatorial side of the "Rational Shuffle Conjecture" provides a Schur-positive symmetric polynomial. Furthermore, we prove that the contribution of a given rational Dyck path can be computed as a certain skew LLT…

Let $i(n,k)$ be the proportion of permutations $\pi\in\mathcal{S}_n$ having an invariant set of size $k$. In this note we adapt arguments of the second author to prove that $i(n,k) \asymp k^{-\delta} (1+\log k)^{-3/2}$ uniformly for $1\leq…

For $n\geq 4$ we shall construct a family $D(q)$ of non-commutative deformations of the coordinate algebra of a Kleinian singularity of type $D_n$ depending on a polynomial $q$ of degree $n$. We shall prove that every deformation of a type…

We study the representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$ in positive characteristic $p$. Using features of the LLT-algorithm we give a conjectural description of the projective cover $P(\lambda)$ of the simple module $D(\lambda)$…

A PSCA$(v, t, \lambda)$ is a multiset of permutations of the $v$-element alphabet $\{0, \dots, v-1\}$ such that every sequence of $t$ distinct elements of the alphabet appears in the specified order in exactly $\lambda$ permutations. For $v…

In \cite{[CZ]}, Cohen and Zemel showed that for a partition $\lambda \vdash k$, the dimension of the irreducible representation of $S_{n}$ corresponding to the partition $(n-k,\lambda) \vdash n$ is a polynomial of degree $k$ in $n$, whose…

We give a constructive proof of the Hodge conjecture for complex $K3$ surfaces that does not rely on Torelli-type results. Starting with an arbitrary rational $(1,1)$-class $\alpha\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{Q})$, we algorithmically build a…

We present FastLSQ, a framework for PDE solving and inverse problems built on trigonometric random Fourier features with exact analytical derivatives. Trigonometric features admit closed-form derivatives of any order in $\mathcal{O}(1)$,…

A centrally symmetric $2d$-vertex combinatorial triangulation of the product of spheres $\S^i\times\S^{d-2-i}$ is constructed for all pairs of non-negative integers $i$ and $d$ with $0\leq i \leq d-2$. For the case of $i=d-2-i$, the…

In this paper, we show that for a Koszul $n$-homogeneous algebra $\Lambda$, the quadratic dual of certain twisted trivial extension is the $(n+1)$-preprojective algebra of its quadratic dual, that is, $ (\Delta_{\nu}\Lambda)^{!,op}…

We show that the equation $\lambda_1 n_1^2 + ... + \lambda_s n_s^2 = 0$ admits non-trivial solutions in any subset of $[N]$ of density $(\log N)^{-c_s}$, provided that $s \geq 7$ and the coefficients $\lambda_i$ sum to zero and satisfy…

We provide a universal characterization of the construction taking a scheme $X$ to its stable $\infty$-category $\text{Mot}(X)$ of noncommutative motives, patterned after the universal characterization of algebraic K-theory due to…

We generalize the shuffle theorem and its $(km,kn)$ version, as conjectured by Haglund et al. and Bergeron et al., and proven by Carlsson and Mellit, and Mellit, respectively. In our version the $(km,kn)$ Dyck paths on the combinatorial…

We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and…
