A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A-infinity algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We…

Let $\mathbb{A}_n^m$ be an arbitrary $n$-dimensional commutative associative algebra over the field of complex numbers with $m$ idempotents. Let $e_1=1,e_2,\ldots,e_k$ with $2\leq k\leq 2n$ be elements of $\mathbb{A}_n^m$ which are linearly…

One of the central questions of universal algebraic geometry is: when two algebras have the same algebraic geometry? There are various interpretations of the sentence "Two algebras have the same algebraic geometry". One of these is…

Motivated by Kohno's result on the holonomy Lie algebra of a hyperplane arrangement, we define the holonomy Lie algebra of a finite geometric lattice in a combinatorial way. For a solvable pair of lattices, we show that the holonomy Lie…

We present the construction of an associative, commutative algebra $\hat {\mathcal G}$ of generalized functions on a manifold $X$ satisfying the following optimal set of permanence properties: (i)The space of distributions on $X$ is…

We prove an identity for sesquilinear maps from the Cartesian square of a vector space to a geometric mean closed Archimedean (real or complex) vector lattice, from which the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality follows. A reformulation of this result…

We continue our studies on semilattice ordered algebras. This time we accept constants in the type of algebras. We investigate identities satisfied by such algebras and describe the free objects in varieties of semilattice ordered algebras…

Let $H$ be a separable real Hilbert space. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ the Grassmannian consisting of closed subspaces with infinite dimension and codimension. This Grassmannian is partially ordered by the inclusion relation. We…

We introduce a canonical operator-theoretic construction associated to a finite geometric lattice, in which a simple nonassociative ``diamond product'' on the lattice basis gives rise to a family of creation operators indexed by atoms and a…

We begin with a short exposition of the theory of lattice varieties. This includes a description of their orbit structure and smooth locus. We construct a flat cover of the lattice variety and show that it is a complete intersection. We…

The classical matrix tree theorem relates the number of spanning trees of a connected graph with the product of the nonzero eigenvalues of its Laplacian matrix. The class of regular matroids generalizes that of graphical matroids, and a…

Lattice discretizations of continuous manifolds are common tools used in a variety of physical contexts. Conventional discrete approximations, however, cannot capture all aspects of the original manifold, notably its topology. In this paper…

To every Poisson algebraic variety X over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we canonically attach a right D-module M(X) on X. If X is affine, solutions of M(X) in the space of algebraic distributions on X are Poisson…

We prove an identity for five arguments, valid in the lattice of natural numbers with gcd and lcm as lattice operations. More generally, this identity characterizes arbitrary distributive lattices. Fixing three of the five arguments, we…

An algebra $\A$ is said to be an independence algebra if it is a matroid algebra and every map $\al:X\to A$, defined on a basis $X$ of $\A$, can be extended to an endomorphism of $\A$. These algebras are particularly well behaved…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group with polynomial growth, and let $\om$ be a weight, i.e. a sub-multiplicative function on $G$ with positive values. We study when the weighted group algebra $\ell^1(G,\om)$ is isomorphic to an operator…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a collection of 3-element subsets $S$ of $\{1, \ldots,n\}$ with the property that if $i<j<k$ and $a<b<c$ are two 3-element subsets in $S$, then there exists an integer sequence $x_1 < x_2 < \cdots < x_n$ such that $x_i,…

We consider a subclass of tilings, the tilings obtained by cut and projection. Under somewhat standard assumptions, we show that the natural complexity function has polynomial growth. We compute its exponent \alpha in terms of the ranks of…

Research on Helly-type theorems in combinatorial convex geometry has produced volumetric versions of Helly's theorem using witness sets and quantitative extensions of Doignon's theorem. This paper combines these philosophies and presents…

Constructions are given of Noetherian maximal orders that are finitely presented algebras over a field K, defined by monomial relations. In order to do this, it is shown that the underlying homogeneous information determines the algebraic…
