In the course of classifying the homogeneous permutations, Cameron introduced the viewpoint of permutations as structures in a language of two linear orders, and this structural viewpoint is taken up here. The majority of this thesis is…

We consider a random permutation drawn from the set of 132-avoiding permutations of length $n$ and show that the number of occurrences of another pattern $\sigma$ has a limit distribution, after scaling by $n^{\lambda(\sigma)/2}$ where…

We prove the automorphism conjecture for ordered sets of width less than or equal to 11. The proof supports the meta conjecture that a large number of automorphisms is achievable only as some type of product of independent automorphisms on…

The main result of this paper is that the isomorphism for omega-automatic trees of finite height is at least has hard as second-order arithmetic and therefore not analytical. This strengthens a recent result by Hjorth, Khoussainov,…

We construct a Jordan curve $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{C}$ so that for any rectifiable arc $\sigma$ with endpoints in distinct complementary components of $\Gamma$, $H^1(\sigma \cap \Gamma) > 0$.

A set $\mathcal{S}$ of derangements (fixed-point-free permutations) of a set $V$ generates a digraph with vertex set $V$ and arcs $(x,x^\sigma)$ for $x\in V$ and $\sigma\in\mathcal{S}$. We address the problem of characterising those…

Let $G_{n,k}$ be the group of permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots, kn\}$ that permutes the first $k$ symbols arbitrarily, then the next $k$ symbols and so on through the last $k$ symbols. Finally the $n$ blocks of size $k$ are permuted in an…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph obtained by adding chords to a cycle of length $n$. Markstr\"{o}m asked for the maximum number of edges in $G$ if there are no two cycles in $G$ with the same length. A simple counting argument shows that such…

We show how to construct an explicit Hamilton cycle in the directed Cayley graph Cay({\sigma_n, sigma_{n-1}} : \mathbb{S}_n), where \sigma_k = (1 2 >... k). The existence of such cycles was shown by Jackson (Discrete Mathematics, 149 (1996)…

A Barker sequence is a binary sequence for which all nontrivial aperiodic autocorrelations are at most 1 in magnitude. An old conjecture due to Turyn asserts that there is no Barker sequence of length greater than 13. In 1961, Turyn and…

In this work we recall Pansiot's result on the complexity of pure morphic sequences and we use the tools developed by Devyatov for morphic sequences to prove the decidability of the complexity class of pure morphic sequences.

We provide several families of compact complex curves embedded in smooth complex surfaces such that no neighborhood of the curve can be embedded in an algebraic surface. Different constructions are proposed, by patching neighborhoods of…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact, orientable surface of genus $g$, and let $\Gamma$ be a relation on $\pi_0(\partial \Sigma)$ such that the prescribed arc graph $\mathcal{A}(\Sigma,\Gamma)$ is Gromov-hyperbolic and non-trivial. We show that…

We consider the cycle structure of a random permutation $\sigma$ chosen uniformly from the symmetric group, subject to the constraint that $\sigma$ does not contain cycles of length exceeding $r.$ We prove that under suitable conditions the…

A conjecture of Coleman implies that only finitely many quaternion algebras over the rational numbers can be the endomorphism $\mathbf{Q}$-algebras of abelian surfaces over the complex numbers which can be defined over $\mathbf{Q}$. One may…

The reductivity of a spherical curve is the minimal number of a local transformation called an inverse-half-twisted splice required to obtain a reducible spherical curve from the spherical curve. It is unknown if there exists a spherical…

We give recurrence relations for the enumeration of symmetric elements within four classes of arc diagrams corresponding to certain involutions and set partitions whose blocks contain no consecutive integers. These arc diagrams are…

Recently the first two authors constructed an L-infinity morphism using the S^1-equivariant version of the Poisson Sigma Model (PSM). Its role in deformation quantization was not entirely clear. We give here a "good" interpretation and show…

We consider a random permutation drawn from the set of permutations of length $n$ that avoid some given set of patterns of length 3. We show that the number of occurrences of another pattern $\sigma$ has a limit distribution, after suitable…

Years ago Zeev Rudnick defined the ${\lambda}$-Poisson generic sequences as the infinite sequences of symbols in a finite alphabet where the number of occurrences of long words in the initial segments follow the Poisson distribution with…
