We define and study root graded groups, that is, groups graded by finite root systems. This notion generalises several existing concepts in the literature, including in particular Jacques Tits' notion of RGD-systems. The most prominent…
A group $G$ is called root graded if it has a family of subgroups $G_\alpha$ indexed by roots from a root system $\Phi$ satisfying natural conditions similar to Chevalley groups over commutative unital rings. For any such group there is a…
In this paper we prove that an RGD-system over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with prescribed commutation relations exists if and only if the commutation relations are Weyl-invariant and can be realized in the group $U_+$. This result gives us a machinery…
In [H-Y83], Herman and Yoccoz prove that for any given locally analytic (at $z=0$) power series $f(z)=z(\lambda +\sum_{i=1}^\infty a_iz^i)$ over a complete non-Archimedean field of characteristic $0$ if $|\lambda|=1$ and $\lambda$ is not a…
Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…
\emph{A root frame} for $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a finite frame whose vectors form a root system. In this note we establish some elementary properties of this class of frames and prove that root frames constitute a subclass of scalable frames. In…
The cogrowth series of a group with respect to a finite generating set is an important combinatorial quantity that seems very difficult to compute exactly, as evidenced by the scarcity of known examples. In this paper, we give a particular…
A graph is called (generically) rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if, for any choice of sufficiently generic edge lengths, it can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a finite number of distinct ways, modulo rigid transformations. Here we deal with the…
A $d$-dimensional bar-and-joint framework $(G,p)$ with underlying graph $G$ is called universally rigid if all realizations of $G$ with the same edge lengths, in all dimensions, are congruent to $(G,p)$. A graph $G$ is said to be…
Given a connected isotropic reductive not necessarily split $k$-group $\mathcal{G}$ with irreducible relative root system, we construct root group data (RGD) system of affine type for significant subgroups of $\mathcal{G}(k[t,t^{-1}])$,…
Positional numeration systems are a large family of numeration systems used to represent natural numbers. Whether the set of all representations forms a regular language or not is one of the most important questions that can be asked of…
This article is studying the roots of the reliability polynomials of linear consecutive-\textit{k}-out-of-\textit{n}:\textit{F} systems. We are able to prove that these roots are unbounded in the complex plane, for any fixed $k\ge2$. In the…
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees allowing for the representation of non-treelike evolutionary events such as hybridization. Typically, such networks have been analyzed based on their `level', i.e. based on…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of the multiplicative group of $K$. We consider $K$-valued sequences of the form $a_n:=f(\varphi^n(x_0))$, where $\varphi\colon…
Elements of the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero are infinite lower triangular matrices which are defined in terms of pairs of formal power series. We wish to bring to the forefront, as a tool in the…
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that are used to represent non-tree-like evolutionary histories that arise in organisms such as plants and bacteria, or uncertainty in evolutionary histories. An…
Let $\Lambda$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let $I$ be a proper ideal of $\Lambda$, $R=\Lambda /I$. Consider the polynomial rings $T=\Lambda [x_1,...x_n]$ and $A=R[x_1,...,x_n]$. Suppose that linear equations are solvable in…
We generalize a theorem of D. Rohrlich concerning root numbers of elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers. Our result applies to curves of all higher genera over number fields. Namely, under certain conditions which naturally…
A ring R is called an E-ring if the canonical homomorphism from R to the endomorphism ring End(R_Z) of the additive group R_Z, taking any r in R to the endomorphism left multiplication by r turns out to be an isomorphism of rings. In this…
Let $R$ be a reduced irreducible root system, $h$ its Coxeter number and $m$ a positive integer smaller than $h$. Choose of base of $R$, whence a corresponding height function, and let $R(m)$ be the set of roots whose height is a multiple…
