We consider a multi-parameter model for randomly constructing simplicial complexes. This model interpolates between random clique complexes and Linial-Meshulam random $k$-dimensional complexes, two models that have been extensively studied.…
We use a q-series identity by Ramanujan to give a combinatorial interpretation of Ramanujan's tau function which involves t-cores and a new class of partitions which we call (m,k)-capsids. The same method can be applied in conjunction with…
In this paper, we expand on the work of Guo and Zeng from 2007 on a generalization of the Ramanujan polynomials and planar trees. We manage to find combinatorial interpretations of this family of polynomials in terms of Greg trees, Cayley…
In this paper we define spherical complexes as simplicial complexes with the property that every subcomplex obtained by a sequence of links and deletions either has trivial homology, or has the homology of a sphere. Examples of such…
The closed neighborhood complex $\mathcal{N}[G]$ of a simple graph $G$ is the simplicial complex whose simplices are finite sets of vertices contained in a closed neighborhood of a vertex in $G$. We reveal that the closed neighborhood…
We introduce the notion of doubling and r-tupling for simplicial complexes, a notion reminiscent to that of matching complexes in graph theory. We prove a connectivity result for such complexes and relate r-tupling to stabilizing r times…
Using the WZ-method we find some of the easiest Ramanujan's formulae and also some new interesting Ramanujan-like sums.
The theory of $k$-regular graphs is closely related to group theory. Every $k$-regular, bipartite graph is a Schreier graph with respect to some group $G$, a set of generators $S$ (depending only on $k$) and a subgroup $H$. The goal of this…
Let l be an odd prime. We will construct a tower of connected regular Ramanujan graph of degree l+1 from of modular curves. This supplies an example of a collection of graphs whose discrete Cheeger constants are bounded by (sqrt{l}-1)^{2}/2…
We prove two new series of Ramanujan type for $1/\pi^2$.
In \cite{FGLNP}, Fox, Gromov, Lafforgue, Naor and Pach, in a respond to a question of Gromov \cite{G}, constructed bounded degree geometric expanders, namely, simplical complexes having the affine overlapping property. Their explicit…
We construct a basis of the basic $sl(3,C)\sptilde$-module parameterized by colored partitions and, as a consequence, we obtain a Rogers-Ramanujan type combinatorial identity.
For smooth manifolds equipped with various geometric structures, we construct complexes that replace the de Rham complex in providing an alternative fine resolution of the sheaf of locally constant functions. In case that the geometric…
We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of the concept of a vector bundle and whose standard examples are higher tangent bundles T^nQ playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms.…
We compute the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of quotients of the Bruhat-Tits building of PGL(n) under the action of arithmetic groups arising from central division algebras over rational function fields of positive characteristic. We use…
In this paper we prove theorems related to the Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ (type $_3F_2$) and to the Ramanujan-like series, discovered by the author, for $1/\pi^2$ (type $_5F_4$). Our developments for the cases $_3 F_2$ and $_5 F_4$…
The classical sequence of Bernoulli numbers is known to the the sequence of moments of a family of orthogonal polynomials. Some similar statements are obtained for another sequence of rational numbers, which is similar in many ways to the…
$N$-complexes have been argued recently to be algebraic structures relevant to the description of higher spin gauge fields. $N$-complexes involve a linear operator $d$ that fulfills $d^N = 0$ and that defines a generalized cohomology. Some…
We discuss several topics related to polylogarithms with focus on dilogarithms. The topics are: a generating function with harmonic numbers coming from Ramanujan, extending the dilogarithm to complex numbers beyond the unit disk, and…
Random shapes arise naturally in many contexts. The topological and geometric structure of such objects is interesting for its own sake, and also for applications. In physics, for example, such objects arise naturally in quantum gravity, in…
