A theory of matchings for finite subsets of an abelian group, introduced in connection with a conjecture of Wakeford on canonical forms for homogeneous polynomials, has since been extended to the setting of field extensions and to that of…
The concept of matchings originated in group theory to address a linear algebra problem related to canonical forms for symmetric tensors. In an abelian group $(G,+)$, a matching is a bijection $f: A \to B$ between two finite subsets $A$ and…
We formulate and prove matroid analogues of results concerning matchings in groups. A matching in an abelian group $(G,+)$ is a bijection $f:A\to B$ between two finite subsets $A,B$ of $G$ satisfying $a+f(a)\notin A$ for all $a\in A$. A…
We present sufficient conditions for the existence of matchings in abelian groups and their linear counterparts. These conditions lead to extensions of existing results in matching theory. Additionally, we classify subsets within abelian…
A matching in a group G is a bijection f from a subset A to a subset B in G such that af(a) does not belong to A for all a in A. The group G is said to have the matching property if, for any finite subsets A,B in G of same cardinality with…
In this paper, we formulate and prove linear analogues of results concerning matchings in groups. A matching in a group G is a bijection f between two finite subsets A,B of G with the property, motivated by old questions on symmetric…
A matching from a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group to another subset $B$ is a bijection $f:A\rightarrow B$ with the property that $a+f(a)$ never lies in $A$. A matching is called acyclic if it is uniquely determined by its multiplicity…
This is an expository work presenting in detail the proof of the structure theorem for divisible abelian groups. A divisible abelian group is an abelian group that satisfies nD=D for all natural n. The theorem states that any divisible…
A matching from a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group $G$ to another subset $B$ is a bijection $f : A \to B$ such that $af(a) \notin A$ for all $a \in A$. The study of matchings began in the 1990s and was motivated by a conjecture of E.…
A packing of partial difference sets is a collection of disjoint partial difference sets in a finite group $G$. This configuration has received considerable attention in design theory, finite geometry, coding theory, and graph theory over…
In this paper, we introduce the notions of matching matrices in groups and vector spaces, which lead to some necessary conditions for existence of acyclic matching in abelian groups and its linear analogue. We also study the linear local…
A matching from a finite subset $A\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ to another subset $B\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ is a bijection $f : A \rightarrow B$ with the property that $a+f(a)$ never lies in $A$. A matching is called acyclic if it is uniquely…
We give an explicit combinatorial description of the deformation theory of the Abelian category of (quasi)coherent sheaves on any separated Noetherian scheme $X$ via the deformation theory of path algebras of quivers with relations, by…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $A$ be a subset of $G$. We say that $A$ is complete if every element of $G$ can be represented as a sum of different elements of $A$. In this paper, we study the following question: {\it What is the…
This is the first in a series of papers math.AG/0503029, math.AG/0410267, math.AG/0410268 on "configurations" in an abelian category A. Given a finite partially ordered set (I,<), an (I,<)-configuration (\sigma,\iota,\pi) is a finite…
Abelian groups having partial orderings compatible with their binary operations have long been studied in the literature. In particular, lattice-ordered abelian groups constitute a universal-algebraic variety, and thus form a category which…
Difference sets are subsets of a group satisfying certain combinatorial property with respect to the group operation. They can be characterized using an equality in the group ring of the corresponding group. In this paper, we exploit the…
The study of `structure' on subsets of abelian groups, with small `doubling constant', has been well studied in the last fifty years, from the time Freiman initiated the subject. In \cite{DF} Deshouillers and Freiman establish a structure…
Generalizing results from \cite{DTk,DU} we study the fine structure of locally minimal (locally) precompact Abelian groups (these are the locally essential subgroups $G$ of LCA groups $L$, i.e., such that $G$ non-trivially meets all…
The decomposition of a quasi-abelian code into shorter linear codes over larger alphabets was given in (Jitman, Ling, (2015)), extending the analogous Chinese remainder decomposition of quasi-cyclic codes (Ling, Sol\'e, (2001)). We give a…
