We study a numerical semigroup ring as an algebra over another numerical semigroup ring. The complete intersection property of numerical semigroup algebras is investigated using factorizations of monomials into minimal ones. The goal is to…

A recently-established necessary condition for polynomials that preserve the class of entrywise nonnegative matrices of a fixed order is shown to be necessary and sufficient for the class of nonnegative monomial matrices. Along the way, we…

We study the parameterized complexity of the following factorization problem: given elements $a,a_1, \ldots, a_m$ of a monoid and a parameter $k$, can $a$ be written as the product of at most (or exactly) $k$ elements from $a_1, \ldots,…

Usual math sets have special types: countable, compact, open, occasionally Borel, rarely projective, etc. Each such set is described by a single Set Theory formula with parameters unrelated to other formulas. Exotic expressions involving…

In an atomic, cancellative, commutative monoid $S$, the elasticity of an element provides a coarse measure of its non-unique factorizations by comparing the largest and smallest values in its set of factorization lengths (called its length…

The structure of the category of matroids and strong maps is investigated: it has coproducts and equalizers, but not products or coequalizers; there are functors from the categories of graphs and vector spaces, the latter being faithful;…

We provide the set of filters (saturated submonoids) in a commutative monoid with a topology (like the spectrum of a ring) and study the resulting spaces.

We study a coarse moduli space of irreducible representations of the group of unipotent matrices of order $\mathbb{4}$ over the ring of integers which have finite weight. All such representations are known to be monomial. To describe a…

We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…

Variable-length codes are the bases of the free submonoids of a free monoid. There are some important longstanding open questions about the structure of finite maximal codes. In this paper we discuss this conjectures and their relations…

We study polytopes associated to factorisations of prime powers. These polytopes have explicit descriptions either in terms of their vertices or as intersections of closed halfspaces associated to their facets. We give formulae for their…

It is well-known that small categories have equivalent descriptions as partial monoids. We provide a formulation of partial monoid and partial monoid homomorphism involving $s$ and $t$ instead of identities and then following a recent…

We investigate the structure of the monoid of endomorphisms of the ordered set $(\mathbb{Q},{\leq})$ of rational numbers. We show that for any countable linearly ordered set $\Omega$, there are uncountably many maximal subgroups of…

There exists a particular subset of algebraic power series over a finite field which, for different reasons, can be compared to the subset of quadratic real numbers. The continued fraction expansion for these elements, called…

Let $H$ be an additively written monoid and let $\mathcal{P}_{0}(H)$ denote the reduced power monoid of $H$, that is, the monoid consisting of all subsets of $H$ containing $0$ with set addition as operation. Following work of Tringali, Wen…

An atomic monoid $M$ is called a length-factorial monoid (or an other-half-factorial monoid) if for each non-invertible element $x \in M$ no two distinct factorizations of $x$ have the same length. The notion of length-factoriality was…

In this paper we study submonoids of the monoid $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ of almost monotone injective co-finite partial selfmaps of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. Let…

We characterize the strong metric dimension of the power graph of a finite group. As applications, we compute the strong metric dimension of the power graph of a cyclic group, an abelian group, a dihedral group or a generalized quaternion…

We study the connectivity of proper power graphs of some family of finite groups including nilpotent groups, groups with a non-trivial partition, and symmetric and alternating groups.

It is shown that the category of \emph{semi-biproducts} of monoids is equivalent to the category of \emph{pseudo-actions}. A semi-biproduct of monoids is a new notion, obtained through generalizing a biproduct of commutative monoids. By…
