There is a long history of studying Ramsey theory using the algebraic structure of the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of discrete semigroup. It has been shown that various Ramsey theoretic structures are contained in different algebraic…
This paper is devoted to the explicit construction of optimal designs for discrimination between two polynomial regression models of degree $n-2$ and $n$. In a fundamental paper, Atkinson and Fedorov [Biometrika 62 (1975a) 57--70] proposed…
We study scalar multivariate non-stationary subdivision schemes with a general dilation matrix. We characterize the capability of such schemes to reproduce exponential polynomials in terms of simple algebraic conditions on their symbols.…
This paper is concerned with the construction of a small, but non-trivial, example of a polynomial identity algebra, which we call the \emph{Jackson algebra}, that will be used in sequels to this paper to study non-commutative arithmetic…
We aim to construct an element satisfying Hemmer's combinatorial criterion for $H^1(\mathfrak{S}_n, S^\lambda)$ to be non-vanishing. In the process, we discover an unexpected and surprising link between the combinatorial theory of integral…
A set ${X}_{N}=\{x_1,\ldots,x_N\}$ of $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d,\,d\geq 2$ is a spherical $t$-design if the average of any polynomial of degree at most $t$ over the sphere is equal to the average value of the polynomial…
Quasiperiodic patterns described by polyhedral "atomic surfaces" and admitting matching rules are considered. It is shown that the cohomology ring of the continuous hull of such patterns is isomorphic to that of the complement of a torus…
In the present paper, we give Assmus--Mattson type theorems for codes and lattices. We show that a binary doubly even self-dual code of length 24m with minimum weight 4m provides a combinatorial 1-design and an even unimodular lattice of…
Discriminantal arrangements are hyperplane arrangements, which are generalized braid ones. They are constructed from given hyperplane arrangements, but their combinatorics are not invariant under combinatorial equivalence. However, it is…
The aim of this paper is to make a connection between design theory and algebraic geometry/commutative algebra. In particular, given any Steiner System $S(t,n,v)$ we associate two ideals, in a suitable polynomial ring, defining a Steiner…
This survey article is devoted to general results in combinatorial enumeration. The first part surveys results on growth of hereditary properties of combinatorial structures. These include permutations, ordered and unordered graphs and…
Spherical $t$-designs are finite point sets on the unit sphere that enable exact integration of polynomials of degree at most $t$ via equal-weight quadrature. This concept has recently been extended to spherical $t$-design curves by the use…
This paper proves the existence of nonmeasurable dense sets with additional properties using combinatorial techniques.
We previously proposed the first nontrivial examples of a code having support $t$-designs for all weights obtained from the Assmus-Mattson theorem and having support $t'$-designs for some weights with some $t'>t$. This suggests the…
This is a challenging paper including some review and new results. Since the non-commutative version of the classical system based on the compact group SU(2) has been constructed in (quant-ph/0502174) by making use of Jaynes-Commings model…
We introduce a tensor compatibility condition for t-structures. For any Noetherian scheme $X$, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of filtrations of Thomason subsets and the set of aisles of compactly…
A Euclidean $t$-design, as introduced by Neumaier and Seidel (1988), is a finite set ${\cal X} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with a weight function $w: {\cal X} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ for which $$\sum_{r \in R} W_r \overline{f}_{S_{r}} =…
The dual of a map is a fundamental construction on combinatorial maps, but many other combinatorial objects also possess their notion of duality. For instance, the Tamari lattice is isomorphic to its order dual, which induces an involution…
We study the coinvariant ring of the complex reflection group $G(r,p,n)$ as a module for the corresponding rational Cherednik algebra $\HH$ and its generalized graded affine Hecke subalgebra $\mathcal{H}$. We construct a basis consisting of…
The research of developing a general methodology for the construction of good nonregular designs has been very active in the last decade. Recent research by Xu and Wong [Statist. Sinica 17 (2007) 1191--1213] suggested a new class of…
