In this paper, we have considered the dense rank for assigning positions to alternatives in weak orders. If we arrange the alternatives in tiers (i.e., indifference classes), the dense rank assigns position 1 to all the alternatives in the…

Tensors, or multi-linear forms, are important objects in a variety of areas from analytics, to combinatorics, to computational complexity theory. Notions of tensor rank aim to quantify the "complexity" of these forms, and are thus also…

Let $G$ be a digraph and $r(G)$ be its rank. Many interesting results on the rank of an undirected graph appear in the literature, but not much information about the rank of a digraph is available. In this article, we study the rank of a…

We study real ternary forms whose real rank equals the generic complex rank, and we characterize the semialgebraic set of sums of powers representations with that rank. Complete results are obtained for quadrics and cubics. For quintics we…

We provide a complete system of invariants for the formal classification of complex analytic unipotent germs of diffeomorphism at $\cn{n}$ fixing the orbits of a regular vector field. We reduce the formal classification problem to solve a…

We classify, up to isomorphism and up to equivalence, division gradings (by abelian groups) on finite-dimensional simple real algebras. Gradings on finite-dimensional simple algebras are determined by division gradings, so our results give…

We use computer algebra to determine the ranks of arrays of size 2 x 2 x 2 and 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 with entries in the set {0, 1} regarded as a field with two elements, as a Boolean algebra, and as non-negative integers. In the field case we also…

We develop a purely set-theoretic formalism for binary trees and binary graphs. We define a category of binary automata, and display it as a fibred category over the category of binary graphs. We also relate the notion of binary graphs to…

A rank is a notion in descriptive set theory that describes ranks such as the Cantor-Bendixson rank on the set of closed subsets of a Polish space, differentiability ranks on the set of differentiable functions in $C[0,1]$ such as the…

We introduce the monic rank of a vector relative to an affine-hyperplane section of an irreducible Zariski-closed affine cone $X$. We show that the monic rank is finite and greater than or equal to the usual $X$-rank. We describe an…

We study and classify linearly normal surfaces in $\mathbf{P}^n$, of degree $d$ and sectional genus $g$, such that $d\geq 2g-1$.

Several notions of multiplicativity are introduced for forms of degree $d\geq 3$ over a field of characteristic 0 or greater than d. Examples of multiplicative and strongly multiplicative forms of higher degree are given. Conditions…

In this paper we prove the analytic continuation of a two variable zeta function defined using the vector space of binary forms of degree $d$ to the entire two dimensional complex space as a meromorphic function.

Motivated by questions in theoretical computer science and quantum information theory, we study the classical problem of determining linear spaces of matrices of bounded rank. Spaces of bounded rank three were classified in 1983, and it has…

We introduce a new concept of rank - relative rank associated to a filtered collection of polynomials. When the filtration is trivial our relative rank coincides with Schmidt rank (also called strength). We also introduce the notion of…

We survey various classical results on invariants of polynomials, or equivalently, of binary forms, focussing on explicit calculations for invariants of polynomials of degrees 2, 3, 4.

We study definable ranks of ordered fields, ordered abelian groups, and linear orders. For an arbitrary linear order $\Gamma$, we construct an ordered abelian group $G$ with archimedian spine $\Gamma$ and an ordered field $K$ with natural…

We introduce the notion of the definable rank of an ordered field, ordered abelian group and ordered set, respectively. We study the relation between the definable rank of an ordered field and the definable rank of the value group of its…

This is an exposition of recent progress in the categorical approach to D-brane physics. I discuss the physical underpinnings of the appearance of homotopy categories and triangulated categories of D-branes from a string field theoretic…
