The nth row of Pascal's trinomial triangle gives coefficients of (1+x+x^2)^n. Let g(n) denote the number of such coefficients that are odd. We review Moshe's algorithm for evaluating asymptotics of g(n) -- this involves computing the…
We study a $2 \times 2$ matrix equation arising naturally in the theory of Coxeter frieze patterns. It is formulated in terms of the generators of the group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and is closely related to continued fractions. It…
Pascal routines are provided that generate representations of the group $SU(3)$ and tabulate the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients in the products of representations.
We prove an explicit formula for the tensor product with itself of an irreducible complex representation of the symmetric group defined by a rectangle of height two. We also describe part of the decomposition for the tensor product of…
In the present article, real number representations, that are generalizations of classical positive and alternating representations of numbers, are introduced and investigated. The main metric relation, properties of cylinder sets are…
The notion of a mesh pattern was introduced recently, but it has already proved to be a useful tool for description purposes related to sets of permutations. In this paper we study eight mesh patterns of small lengths. In particular, we…
The direct application of the definition of sorting in lattices is impractical because it leads to an algorithm with exponential complexity. In this paper we present for distributive lattices a recursive formulation to compute the sort of a…
We give a simple matrix-based proof of congruence equations modulo a prime $p$ involving sums of binomial coefficients appearing in Pascal's triangle. These equations can be used to construct some groups of exponent $p^n$. These groups, as…
We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…
In \cite{ono}, K. Ono, S. Robins and P.T. Wahl considered the problem of determining formulas for the number of representations of a natural number $n$ by a sum of $k$ triangular numbers and derived many applications, including the one…
Part I: The two-dimensional Pascal Triangle will be generalized into a three-dimensional Pascal Pyramid and four-, five- or whatsoever-dimensional hyper-pyramids. Part II: The Bilateral Binomial Theorem will be generalised into a Bilateral…
In this paper we introduce a novel family of Markov chains on the simple representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ in defining characteristic, defined by tensoring with a fixed simple module and choosing an indecomposable…
A concept of multiplicator of symmetric function space concerning to projective tensor product is introduced and studied. This allows to obtain some concrete results. In particular, the well-known theorem of R. O'Neil about the boundedness…
It is well known that the Catalan number C_n counts dissections of a regular (n+2)-gon into triangles. Here we count such dissections by number of triangles that contain two sides of the polygon among their three edges, leading to a…
String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…
The d-dimensional Catalan numbers form a well-known sequence of numbers which count balanced bracket expressions over an alphabet of size d. In this paper, we introduce and study what we call d-dimensional prime Catalan numbers, a sequence…
Analysis of the dynamics of the Dyck words helped solve the problem of representing the Catalan number as a sum of squares of natural numbers. In this case, the Dyck triangle is considered in different coordinates. In the calculations, we…
We investigate here the representability of integers as sums of triangular numbers, where the $n$-th triangular number is given by $T_n = n(n + 1)/2$. In particular, we show that $f(x_1,x_2,..., x_k) = b_1 T_{x_1} +...+ b_k T_{x_k}$, for…
It is well-known that the tensor product of two bialgebras constitutes the binary product in the category of cocommutative bialgebras and morphisms of bialgebras between them. In this paper, we extend this result to triangular bialgebras…
A new connection between two different necessary conditions for a polymatroid to be linearly representable is presented. Specifically, we prove that the existence of a tensor product with the uniform matroid of rank two on three elements…
