This paper gives a new and direct construction of the multi-prime big de Rham-Witt complex which is defined for every commutative and unital ring; the original construction by the author and Madsen relied on the adjoint functor theorem and…
It was shown by V. Bergelson that any set B with positive upper multiplicative density contains nicely intertwined arithmetic and geometric progressions: For each positive integer k there exist integers a,b,d such that $ {b(a+id)^j:i,j…
We prove that if a group possesses a deficiency 1 presentation where one of the relators is a commutator then it is the integers times the integers, is large, or is as far as possible from being residually finite. Then we use this to show…
Considering Schur positivity of differences of plethysms of homogeneous symmetric functions, we introduce a new relation on integer partitions. This relation is conjectured to be a partial order, with its restriction to one part partitions…
This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers this question in graphs of bounded maximum degree, asserting that…
The Union Closed Sets Conjecture is one of the most renowned problems in combinatorics. Its appeal lies in the simplicity of its statement contrasted with the potential complexity of its resolution. The conjecture posits that, in any union…
In a recent paper, Thejitha and Fathima introduced the overcolored partition function $\bar{a}_{r,s}(n)$, which enumerates overpartitions in which even parts may appear in one of $r$ colors and odd parts in one of $s$ colors, for fixed…
Recently, Braunstein et al. [1] introduced normalized Laplacian matrices of graphs as density matrices in quantum mechanics and studied the relationships between quantum physical properties and graph theoretical properties of the underlying…
In this paper, we introduce and develop the circle embedding method. This method hinges essentially on a combinatorial-geometric structure which we choose to call circles of partition. We provide applications in the context of problems that…
We introduce an intersection type system for the lambda-mu calculus that is invariant under subject reduction and expansion. The system is obtained by describing Streicher and Reus's denotational model of continuations in the category of…
The lattice cell in the ${i+1}^{st}$ row and ${j+1}^{st}$ column of the positive quadrant of the plane is denoted $(i,j)$. If $\mu$ is a partition of $n+1$, we denote by $\mu/ij$ the diagram obtained by removing the cell $(i,j)$ from the…
We give the first (ZFC) dividing line in Keisler's order among the unstable theories, specifically among the simple unstable theories. That is, for any infinite cardinal $\lambda$ for which there is $\mu < \lambda \leq 2^\mu$, we construct…
The theory of partition congruences has been a fascinating and difficult subject for over a century now. In attempting to prove a given congruence family, multiple possible complications include the genus of the underlying modular curve,…
We prove a lower bound expansion on the probability that a random $\pm 1$ matrix is singular, and conjecture that such expansions govern the actual probability of singularity. These expansions are based on naming the most likely, second…
Chess tableaux are a special kind of standard Young tableaux where, in the chessboard coloring of the Young diagram, even numbers always appear in white cells and odd numbers in black cells. If, for $\lambda$ a partition of $n$,…
A graph is Schur-positive if its chromatic symmetric function expands non-negatively in the Schur basis. We determine a full Schur-positivity classification for complete multipartite graphs by showing that a complete multipartite graph…
Kostant asked the following question: Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple Lie algebra over the complex numbers. Let $\lambda$ be a dominant integral weight. Then, $V(\lambda)$ is a component of $ V(\rho)\otimes V(\rho)$ if and only if $\lambda…
Let $\Lambda$ be a basic finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, presented as a path algebra modulo relations; further, assume that $\Lambda$ is graded by lengths of paths. The paper addresses the classifiability, via…
We study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $\beta$. We prove that if $\beta$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $\beta$…
In 1989, Rota conjectured that, given $n$ bases $B_1,\dots,B_n$ of the vector space $\mathbb{F}^n$ over some field $\mathbb{F}$, one can always decompose the multi-set $B_1\cup \dots \cup B_n$ into transversal bases. This conjecture remains…
