In his recent work, Andrews revisited two-color partitions with certain restrictions on the differences between consecutive parts, and he established three theorems linking these two-color partitions with more familiar kinds of partitions.…

We consider $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions of $\{1,2,\ldots,mn\}$ with the property that for some $t\leq n$ no block contains more than one of the first $t$ integers. We give a closed formula for the number of multi-chains of such…

The Theorems of Hindman and van der Waerden belong to the classical theorems of partition Ramsey Theory. The Central Sets Theorem is a strong simultaneous extension of both theorems that applies to general commutative semigroups. We give a…

We prove an index theorem for families of linear periodic Hamiltonian systems, which is reminiscent of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for selfadjoint elliptic operators. For the special case of one-parameter families, we compare our…

A birack is an algebraic structure with axioms encoding the blackboard-framed Reidemeister moves, incorporating quandles, racks, strong biquandles and semiquandles as special cases. In this paper we extend the counting invariant for finite…

A numerical algorithm that computes the decomposition of any finite-dimen\-sio\-nal unitary reducible representation of a compact Lie group is presented. The algorithm, which does not rely on an algebraic insight on the group structure, is…

The infinite pigeonhole principle for $k$ colors ($\mathsf{RT}_k$) states, for every $k$-partition $A_0 \sqcup \dots \sqcup A_{k-1} = \mathbb{N}$, the existence of an infinite subset~$H \subseteq A_i$ for some~$i < k$. This seemingly…

The partition perimeter is a statistic defined to be one less than the sum of the number of parts and the largest part. Recently, Amdeberhan, Andrews, and Ballantine proved the following analog of Glaisher's theorem: for all $m \geq 2$ and…

We prove that any normalized block sequence in a Schreier space $X_\xi$, of arbitrary order $\xi<\omega_1$, admits a subsequence equivalent to a subsequence of the canonical basis of some Schreier space. The analogous result is proved for…

We reprove the countable splitting lemma by adapting Nawrotzki's algorithm which produces a sequence that converges to a solution. Our algorithm combines Nawrotzki's approach with taking finite cuts. It is constructive in the sense that…

For any prime p, we construct, and simultaneously count, all of the complex Specht modules in a given p-block of the symmetric group which remain irreducible when reduced modulo p. We call the Specht modules with this property p-irreducible…

The Heine-Borel theorem for uncountable coverings has recently emerged as an interesting and central principle in higher-order Reverse Mathematics and computability theory, formulated as follows: HBU is the Heine-Borel theorem for…

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

This paper continues to study the connection between reverse mathematics and Weihrauch reducibility. In particular, we study the problems formed from Maltsev's theorem on the order types of countable ordered groups. Solomon showed that the…

We establish a Pythagorean theorem for the absolute values of the blocks of a partitioned matrix. This leads to a series of remarkable operator inequalities.

We demonstrate that statistics of certain classes of set partitions is described by generating functions related to the Burgers, Ibragimov--Shabat and Korteweg--de Vries integrable hierarchies.

We develop three approaches of combinatorial flavour to study the structure of minimal codes and cutting blocking sets in finite geometry, each of which has a particular application. The first approach uses techniques from algebraic…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We compute the Weyl filtration multiplicities in indecomposable tilting modules and the decomposition numbers for the general linear group over k in terms of cap diagrams under…

We prove the Banach strong Novikov conjecture for groups having polynomially bounded higher-order combinatorial functions. This includes all automatic groups.

We consider a new splitting based on the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula, which is particularly effective with iterative methods for the numerical solution of large linear systems. These systems involve matrices that are perturbations of…
