{Let ${\Cal X}$ be a self-dual P-polynomial association scheme. Then there are at most 12 diagonal matrices $T$ such that $(PT)^3=I$. Moreover, all of the solutions for the classical infinite families of such schemes (including the Hamming…
A graph $\Gamma$ is said to be stable if for the direct product $\Gamma\times\mathbf{K}_2$, ${\rm Aut}(\Gamma \times \mathbf{K}_2)$ is isomorphic to ${\rm Aut}(\Gamma) \times \mathbb{Z}_2$; otherwise, it is called unstable. An unstable…
An associative ring $R$ with identity is left pseudo-morphic if for every $a$$\in$$R$, there exists $b$$\in$$R$ such that $Ra=l_R(b)$. If, in addition, $l_R(a)=Rb$, then $R$ is called left morphic. $R$ is morphic if it is both left and…
We give an algebraic characterization of when a $d$-dimensional periodic framework has no non-trivial, symmetry preserving, motion for any choice of periodicity lattice. Our condition is decidable, and we provide a simple algorithm that…
We introduce a class of algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$ related to directed graphs in which all edges are labeled by nonzero elements of the field $\mathbb{F}$. If all labels are different from $1$, these algebras are axial algebras. We…
Let \mathbb{F}_q^{n+l} denote the (n+l)-dimensional singular linear space over a finite field \mathbb{F}_q. For a fixed integer m\leq\min\{n,l\}, denote by \mathcal{L}^m_o(\mathbb{F}_q^{n+l}) the set of all subspaces of type (t,t_1), where…
This paper describes how realistic neuromorphic networks can have their connectivity properties fully characterized in analytical fashion. By assuming that all neurons have the same shape and are regularly distributed along the…
Semi-algebraic set is a subset of the real space defined by polynomial equations and inequalities. In this paper, we consider the problem of deciding whether two given points in a semi-algebraic set are connected. We restrict to the case…
A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if $G$ is a group of automorphisms of $\Gamma$ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of $\Gamma$. If $V(\Gamma)$ admits a nontrivial $G$-invariant partition ${\cal B}$ such…
A $k$-plex in a latin square of order $n$ is a selection of $kn$ entries that includes $k$ representatives from each row and column and $k$ occurrences of each symbol. A $1$-plex is also known as a transversal. It is well known that if $n$…
Two signed graphs are called switching isomorphic if one of them is isomorphic to a switching equivalent of the other. To determine the number of switching non-isomorphic signed graphs on a specific graph, we will establish a method based…
Symmetry breaking for graphs and other combinatorial objects is notoriously hard. On the one hand, complete symmetry breaks are exponential in size. On the other hand, current, state-of-the-art, partial symmetry breaks are often considered…
This paper presents a bridge between the theories of wonderful models associated with toric arrangements and wonderful models associated with hyperplane arrangements. In a previous work, the same authors noticed that the model of the toric…
A compact complex surface with positive definite intersection lattice is either the projective plane or a false projective plane. If the intersection lattice is negative definite, the surface is either a non-minimal secondary Kodaira…
In this paper, we extend a theorem of To\"en and Vaqui\'e to the non-Archimedean and formal settings. More precisely, we prove that a smooth and proper rigid analytic variety is algebraizable if and only if its category of perfect complexes…
We describe $\sigma$-matching, interchangeable and, as a consequence, totally compatible products on some classes of associative algebras, including unital algebras, the semigroup algebras of rectangular bands, algebras with enough…
The branch group of a strongly controllable group code is a shift group. We show that a shift group can be characterized in a very simple way. In addition it is shown that if a strongly controllable group code is labeled with Latin squares,…
If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
In a Latin square, every row can be interpreted as a permutation, and therefore has a parity (even or odd). We prove that in a uniformly random $n\times n$ Latin square, the $n$ row parities are very well approximated by a sequence of $n$…
