A honeycomb array is an analogue of a Costas array in the hexagonal grid; they were first studied by Golomb and Taylor in 1984. A recent result of Blackburn, Etzion, Martin and Paterson has shown that (in contrast to the situation for…
In this paper we reformulate some results obtained by Heisenberg into modern mathematical language of honeycombs. This language was developed in connection with complete solution of the Horn conjecture problem. Such a reformulation is done…
This paper investigates enumerative aspects of permutohedral blades, which provide a generalization of the notion of the tropical hyperplane arrangement. Blade provide the combinatorial underpinning of generalized biadjoint scalar…
Loop percolation, also known as the dense O(1) loop model, is a variant of critical bond percolation in the square lattice Z^2 whose graph structure consists of a disjoint union of cycles. We study its connectivity pattern, which is a…
Recently, in papers by Knutson, Tao and Woodward, Henriques and Kamnitzer, Pak and Vallejo have been constructed several interesting bijections of associativity and commutativity. In the first two papers bijections relate special sets of…
For associative rings with anti-involution several homology theories exists, for instance reflexive homology as studied by Graves and involutive Hochschild homology defined by Fern\`andez-Val\`encia and Giansiracusa. We prove that the…
Jacobson's commutativity theorem says that a ring is commutative if, for each $x$, $x^n = x$ for some $n > 1$. Herstein's generalization says that the condition can be weakened to $x^n-x$ being central. In both theorems, $n$ may depend on…
We prove Pieri formulas for the multiplication with special Schubert classes in the K-theory of all cominuscule Grassmannians. For Grassmannians of type A this gives a new proof of a formula of Lenart. Our formula is new for Lagrangian…
Hodge's formula represents the gravitational MHV amplitude as the determinant of a minor of a certain matrix. When expanded, this determinant becomes a sum over weighted trees, which is the form of the MHV formula first obtained by Bern,…
In a previous work [Scientific Reports 4, 6193(2014)] we proved the existence of scale symmetry in square and triangular (thus honeycomb) lattices by investigating the functiony=\arcsin(\sin(2\pinx)), where the parameter is either the…
A geodesic bicombing on a metric space selects for every pair of points a geodesic connecting them. We prove existence and uniqueness results for geodesic bicombings satisfying different convexity conditions. In combination with recent work…
Knutson, Tao, and Woodward formulated a Littlewood-Richardson rule for the cohomology ring of Grassmannians in terms of puzzles. Vakil and Wheeler-Zinn-Justin have found additional triangular puzzle pieces that allow one to express…
The Hales numbered $n$-dimensional hypercube and the corresponding adjacency matrix exhibit interesting recursive structures in $n$. These structures lead to a very simple proof of the well-known bandwidth formula for hypercube, whose proof…
The knots-quivers correspondence states that various characteristics of a knot are encoded in the corresponding quiver and the moduli space of its representations. However, this correspondence is not a bijection: more than one quiver may be…
In the first half of this manuscript, we begin with a brief review of combinatorial hives as introduced by Knutson and Tao, and focus on a conjecture by Danilov and Koshevoy for generating such a hive from Hermitian matrix pairs through an…
Adams and Conway have stated without proof a result which says, roughly speaking, that the representation ring $R(G)$ of a compact, connected Lie group $G$ is generated as a $\lambda$-ring by elements in 1-to-1 correspondance with the…
A convex triangular grid is represented by a planar digraph $G$ embedded in the plane so that (a) each bounded face is surrounded by three edges and forms an equilateral triangle, and (b) the union $\Rscr$ of bounded faces is a convex…
We prove a relative version of the Picard-Lefschetz theorem, describing the variation of relative homology groups $H_d(Y_t \setminus A_t,B_t\setminus A_t)$ in the fibers of a smooth fiber bundle $Y \to T$ of complex manifolds with $A\cup B…
We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…
In this exposition we give a simple and complete treatment of A. Knutson and T. Tao's recent proof (http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/math.RT/9807160) of the saturation conjecture, which asserts that the Littlewood-Richardson semigroup is…
