Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, undirected, connected graph, with vertex set $X$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$. Associated with $x$ is a certain subalgebra $T=T(x)$ of ${\rm Mat}_X(\mathbb C)$, called the subconstituent algebra. The algebra $T$ is…

Building upon the work of A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017), we prove that for a prime power $q \geq 7$, every residue class modulo an irreducible polynomial $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[X]$ has a non-constant, square-free representative which has…

Let $\Gamma$ denote the Hamming graph $H(D,r)$ with $r \geq 3$. Consider the distance matrices $\{A_i\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$, and consider the dual distance matrices $\{A_i^{*}\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$ with…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group acting on a scheme $X$ and on a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$, both defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero $\Bbbk$. The corresponding equivariant map superalgebra $M(\mathfrak{g},…

We show that a tilted algebra $A$ is tame if and only if for each generic root $\dd$ of $A$ and each indecomposable irreducible component $C$ of $\module(A,\dd)$, the field of rational invariants $k(C)^{\GL(\dd)}$ is isomorphic to $k$ or…

We study the direct sum of q-matroids by way of their cyclic flats. Using that the rank function of a q-matroid is fully determined by the cyclic flats and their ranks, we show that the cyclic flats of the direct sum of two q-matroids are…

In the year 2000, Eric Egge introduced the generalized Terwilliger algebra $\mathcal T$ of a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$. For any vertex $x$ of $\Gamma,$ there is a surjective algebra homomorphism $\natural$ from $\mathcal T$ to the…

We consider a 2-homogeneous bipartite distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter $D \geq 3$. We assume that $\Gamma$ is not a hypercube nor a cycle. We fix a $Q$-polynomial ordering of the primitive idempotents of $\Gamma$. This…

We consider a primitive distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter at least $3$. We use the intersection numbers of $\Gamma$ to find a positive semidefinite matrix $G$ with integer entries. We show that $G$ has determinant zero if and…

It is well known that the ring radical theory can be approached via language of modules. In this work, we present some generalizations of classical results from module theory, in the two-sided and graded sense. Let $\mathsf{G}$ be a group,…

Let $p\neq 2$, and let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra of dimension $3$ over $\overline{F}_p$ and $P, Q$ be projective $R$-modules of rank $2$, each with trivial determinant. We prove: $P$ is isomorphic to $Q$ if and only if there is an…

Suppose a group $\Gamma$ acts on a scheme $X$ and a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The corresponding equivariant map superalgebra is the Lie superalgebra of equivariant regular maps from $X$ to $\mathfrak{g}$. We classify the irreducible…

The authors proved that a Weyl module for a simple algebraic group is irreducible over every field if and only if the module is isomorphic to the adjoint representation for $E_{8}$ or its highest weight is minuscule. In this paper, we prove…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field with $q$ elements. Let $N$ and $D$ denote integers with $N>D \ge 1$. Let $\mathcal{V}$ denote an $N$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. The Grassmann graph $J_q(N,D)$ is the graph with…

Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…

Generalized Heisenberg algebras $\H(f)$ for any polynomial $f(h)\in\C[h]$ have been used to explain various physical systems and many physical phenomena for the last 20 years. In this paper, we first obtain the center of $\H(f)$, and the…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a smooth linear group scheme of finite type. For any positive integer $k$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, let $W_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length $k$ over $\mathbb{F}$. We show that the group…
